Harry/Draco, Mpreg, Postpartum Depression, Divorce, and another big one I don't want to tell you about because, well, it's quite nice NOT ruining the whole fic.
This fic is about what happens when love dies and there is still the very real and very permanent link between two people. And I say "love dies" but what I mean is really when love doesn't properly flourish, when it's feared and ignored and withers in the dark.
This fic is full of issues dealing with relationships and children and I quite enjoyed it. Honestly there were times when I wondered if it was going to turn out fluffy and perfect at the end and the thought made me frown, but the author didn't disappoint and kept it mostly realistic (you know aside from Wizards and male pregnancy, things I love that aren't realistic). Personally I think they were too far gone to ever successfully live together again, but everyone likes a "Happy" ending. I say "Happy" because it isn't really.
It is hopeful and depressing equally.
What I said in my comment and what I still mean:
What I love about this is that it's okay but never right between Harry and Draco. They are both so terribly guarded and insecure. And what I love about this Draco is that he's lashing out to protect himself (or at least that is how it feels). He's afraid to love, he's afraid to change, and he's afraid of the vulnerability Harry brings out in him. I think they are in love, they just don't know how to love--as so many people in life don't and this truth is what makes me love this fic even more.
Read it. Love it. DO IT NOW!
