Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.

The two of them, each trying to exorcise their demons and get on with their lives, trying to become whole again, and gradually discovering each other. This one line said it all: His centre was with Malfoy.

I absolutely LOVED the approach the Divination professor took. After all, you do have to clear your mind in order to focus properly. Imagine how much those lessons would have helped Harry with Occlumancy?

I adored it all. Well-written, well-paced, heart-wrenching yet still light on the angst. Powerful without being weighty. Yeah. And a happy ending (loved your last line). I really enjoyed this. ♥

Oh. Oh. I think this is my favourite of the fest. Just beautiful. A gorgeous portrayal of the stumbling journey towards healing. I want to leave a comment as encompassing as the fic but my words are falling short. It was lovely, bittersweet and so satisfying. Thanks mystery author. I can't wait for the reveals so I can fawn all over you properly for this wonderful fic ( ... )
