Yes! In my opinion, Snarry or Harry/Draco is really only plausible as an angsty, dysfunctionalish relationship--they're all just too broken inside to work out in a happy, normal way. So when you put the three of them together? The black hole of angst and fucked-upness! (Clearly.) Writing them in any kind of light, healthy setting would have required a much larger suspension of disbelief for me
I'm so glad this rang true for you! Thanks for your comment. :)
