Mild Rec

This rec is alright, it's good, but I'm not going to be singing very many praises about it.

There is nothing wrong with the writing or the story, but for some reason I kept slipping away as if there was something a little less than engaging about it.

However, I read it straight through, all 69k words, so.... don't take my words too far too heart.

It's worth reading, just maybe not with the dedication of absorbing it in one sitting.

If you do read it, you should wipe everything about Harry and Draco that you previously knew from your mind. I was mildly confused until I realized that this isn't the Harry and Draco of Hogwarts. 

The story follows the idea that there was a second prophecy, and in the second one features Draco. Draco plays a big part in the end battle. And it also pits them together in a powerhouse light. They're stronger together type thing.

Draco never went to Hogwarts, so all that animosity never happened. However, they did still meet in Madam Malkin's, so that set a basis of mild familiarity.

Leo Rec

 I should just put a Leo tag, I swear.

This story is about the idea that Harry falls through the veil, and instead of dying, he is transported eleven years into the future where he is deposited in Draco's office.

The story is genius, really. I had so much fun reading it. 

Leo is the Queen of awkward moments though. Those moments where your eyes fly open and then you suddenly find your head in your hands. I actually turned my whole body to the side at one point. You know the moments... where you have to try and build up the courage to continue because one some baser level you're embarrassed for them.

Those moments are so great. I had two of them, and it's rare that I ever see one.
