And today I'm doing my Friday fic recs on Friday! Made of win! Er, it is Friday, isn't it?
I don't believe I've recced this story before - and yet reading it has been one of the most healing experiences I've had recently. This story is extraordinary - it is so moving; honestly I can't even think of a story that is comparable.
Told from Draco's perspective, it deals with his grief, his immeasurable sense of loss at Severus's death - and his anger, his resentment and his sense of betrayal. This story spans the years between the Hogwart's Battle and Scorpius's schooldays, and is 99% canon-compliant. Even years after, Draco is shaped by his love and loss of Severus - it is central to his entire character. And Draco has not forgiven Severus, and he is not really living. In some senses, his life ended the day Severus died. And, all these years later, Severus is still trying to get Draco to forgive him, to truly live...
