Summary: Harry’s just defeated Voldemort, and has had enough trouble for a lifetime. All he wants to do now is to get into his four-poster bed in Gryffindor Tower and sleep. Too bad he soon finds himself unexpectedly stuck in a malfunctioning Room of Requirement... with Malfoy.
Review:
I consider this one of the definitive Room of Requirement fics. In a fandom with so many classics, it's hard to come up with something new that no one else has done before -- and lamerezouille has done it here, in spades.
This is a gorgeous read that remained in my head long after the fest was over. It's funny, engaging, heart-wrenching, and has wonderful characterisations of Harry and Draco. I took a while to warm up to it, because it didn't immediately grab my attention, but it's well-worth sticking with it -- you will never forget it. Go straight into it, without reading the comments, and you will be richly rewarded.
Just a word of caution if you're saving this to read later on a mobile device: I use Pocket, and so do a couple of other reviewers I've noticed. If you save the fic from hd_holidays, be aware that the fic gets cut off slightly towards the end. No need to panic, though, just head on back to the original site to finish reading.
