Misplaced Memories - Chapter 9/10

[dacro]

Fragments of what must have been the past few days flickered around in his brain: fake Healer, tea, pain, thrashing, compressors that blocked magic... Suddenly, reason for the restraints surfaced, and his heart thundered while his mind caught up. He frantically looked around the room and laughed unexpectedly when his eyes landed on a mural of

Bravo. Go you for not making everything easy, which, I think, many others would want to do. Love this.

To tell the truth, I was going to do a fluffy epilogue right after the final hospital scene, but it just didn't feel right. I hadn't resolved the sexual mess of chapter 5, and I really had to think "Would they really be totally fine, or would there be challenges?"
So, the rest of chapter 9 & chapter 10 were born because the story wasn't done telling itself. ;)

Thanks so much for loving this!

Yeah, that wouldn't have worked. Not for me anyway. You don't go through something like that and come out unscathed. I'm really glad you decided to work through it more, it makes the story feel more complete.

Welcome! :D

[dacro]

Yay! I'm glad! I just had to listen to my heart and my betas until the story finished telling itself. ;)

*hugs*

Yeah (read above comment) I felt they needed a bit of time to sort things out. With both of them being thrown so far out from their norm. I figured they would have to go back to move forward.

Sorry for the fright! *hugs*

Ow no... I thought Harry was going to leave Draco for sure! This was actually a really sad chapter.. It made me sigh.. :(

But in the end, it was all good again! You, my lady, have a knack for writing rollercoaster stories. There should be more people out there who write like you do. *hugs* Because.. wow..

[dacro]

Sorry for making you worry. *hugs*

Thank you. I love life's ups and downs and watching what the characters will do when something gets thrown in their way.

Last chapter tonight!!!

Awwwww, the poor darlings. :((((( I knew Harry would feel overcome with guilt over the whole thing, and yes, he's bound to be somewhat changed by the experience, but it's like any sort of adversity. He needs to get BACK ON THAT HORSE. (And by "horse" we mean Draco.) *cough*

Haha. Indeed he does. You're going to like chapter 10. ;)

Wonderful chapter. For a moment I was so, so scared they wouldn't find their way back to what they can be together. But this feels right, not a new beginning, more like a new them, you know?

“Wandless, even! You have no idea what a freak you are, Potter.”

“You married me, so I can’t be all that freakish.”

“Every freak needs a handler,” he teased.

See? They are perfect together. This is one of the things I love the most; constantly through their relationship they have had this, this warmth.

I love the friendship that grows over long relationships! Glad you do too!
*hugs*
