Aww, I love Nurse Draco! And I think you're right - the most important journeys we take aren't physical ones unless they help us complete a spiritual journey. Draco's gone through all that and more, and I'm glad he finally found peace. Lovely job!

That's what I was aiming for, and I kind of wanted it to take him someplace unexpected to help him grow and find where he needed to be. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I kept feeling like I was leaving so much out, and definitely like I want to revisit this Draco again sometime, if I get the chance.

Absolutely fantastic, and a treatment of Draco that I've never read before. I love this Draco, love how you charted his trip from after the battle to where he "is" now in the fic - just brilliant!

Thank you! I like playing with Draco, trying out different paths for him to follow after the war ends. I've decided I really like this one, and I might revisit him again in the future.

Love it. I really like future Healer fics and how the writers envision that world. You write a good "quiet and withdrawn" Draco.

Do you have a lot of future HP stories?

tryslora September 23 2011, 21:17:14 UTC

Well... these are my HP fics on A03. Some of them are future fics, some are past, some are filling in blanks. Often they are RP related and super short. One of them is kind of cracky and long and crosses with the movie Zerophilia. Oh, and many are NC-17, so be warned of that. It was strange writing something that was PG and knowing it wasn't going to be and didn't need to be more.

And thank you! I really loved this Draco and hope to revisit him.

How did I miss commenting on this first time around? Oh goodness, this is wonderful. I'm a sucker for postwar Draco redemption stories anyway, but this one is truly fine. I laughed out loud when he asked Neville if he was the same boy who always lost his frog.

Thank you! Post-war Draco is one of my favorite subjects to explore because there is SO MUCH there to play with. And I'm glad it made you laugh. I had a ton of fun with the conversations between him and Neville. I keep hoping to make time to come back to this particular set of characters.
