Summary: The faceless men Draco Malfoy fights these days don’t offer redemption or salvation. They don’t offer answers or even friendship. Draco is tired of answers, and though he still has a few friends, most of them have lives of their own and can’t understand how Draco is still haunted by the ghost of someone he hasn’t seen in four years. And as for salvation, Draco gave up on that years ago. Because even the Saviour couldn’t be saved.
When I first read this story I was a bit wary of it because of the warnings (don't neglect to read those), but once I started I couldn't stop—it's that good. It's so very gripping and intense.
It has a very different Harry; he's lonely and kind of bitter, and he leaves Draco just as their friendship is about to take a turn, after they kissed. And the story about how Draco came to be at where he is right now is really interesting, and it works so well on this fic, as unusual as it is. I also love the flashbacks, how they actually start being friends, that's intense as it's the action happening at the present, but in a different way.
It's not what I call a 'light read', all fun and entertaining, but pretty incredible in its own way.
