Dear writer - thank you. I have tears running silently down my cheeks as I write this. True post-war, day after and beyond fics have been few and far between in my world, and this definitely is wonderful. It's detailed and balanced and human. I'm sure part of my deep joy in this story is because of its familiarity- being an Aussie this feels like home to me (and if you're not actually an Aussie, then you get super extra credits for writing like one). But this story isn't about being an Aussie story, that's just a setting that works brilliantly in this context - the heart of this story is that it's honestly about Harry and Draco; who they were, who they've become, and who they might yet be, both as individuals, and together - and that's feeling very rare lately.
I simply love how this story feels - it's solid and real and grounded. It's canon extended and made malleable, but still recognisably canon. You treat the characters like people, and that is so very dear to my heart.
You let them become friends in a natural, calm way, and still be who they are. You let them become more because it simply works. It feels right and it is right. You've created beautiful new people, and a wonderful setting, and damn if I don't take a drive down past Robertson and beyond next time I'm up that way - I will find that university, Muggle though I may be.
This has gone straight into my keeper file - Thank you!
