This sounds brilliant, thanks for the rec!

Oh I hope you like it!

I discovered this fic through capitu (she recced it two years ago but I didn't find her rec until recently). She was right about this fic, and I'm so glad I read it! I figured that it deserved to be recced again in case anybody else had missed it before as well :)

Ever since I read your amazing story Draco at Nineteen, I've been trying to think of other stories like it. And I realized that the fic it most reminded me of was this one I recced above. It's got what barefacedbandit said in the comments: "that scenario of falling in love with two versions of the same person" and also of Harry being more experienced than Draco, but only because he'd been *with Draco*, so he knows what he will like.

So it makes me wonder if you actually had a chance to read this fic, or if it was just serendipity that you captured that same feel. (The stories are completely different, they just push my buttons in the same great way :) And either way, it's exactly the kind of thing I adore, as my rec above shows!

I hope that ramble made some sense!

I haven't read this either, so thank you for the rec :D

I wrote something with a time travel and Draco falling for two Harrys, for last year's hd_fan_fair. Admittedly it's got a weird and not entirely satisfactory ending, but just fyi if you're compiling a list of that sort of thing.

I've been meaning to read something of hers. I haven't read anything by Gatewaygirl for a very loooong time, but I seemed to think she was a brilliant writer back then.
I think I'll start with this one, sounds intriguing. Thanks! :)

I haven't read very much by her - only one other story I think, so after I read this I went and looked up her backlist :) Not as many titles as one might like, but enough to get started on anyway ♥

Hope you enjoy the fic!
