Summary: Harry is about to enter his seventh year, and things are not quite what he expected. He is no longer the angry boy who watched his world fall apart at the end of his fifth year, but neither has he completely found his place yet. He is looking for someting, and to his confusion it seems to have something to do with Draco Malfoy.
Warning(s): Creature story.


I must be the last person on this ship to have read this story, but then again, I haven't yet read Irresistible Poison (what's wrong with me?).

In this story Harry is a Hecatemus, a magical creature that can see raw magic, and Draco is his soul mate, who will keep Harry grounded. Something like that. It's really deep and inventive, the way Harry needs Draco, and Draco needs him.

And the core of the fic is this bond they share, how they connect in such a deep way. Beyond the fact that they can feel what the other is feeling, and they can read each other's minds, they share a live, because they can't survive being away from the other. It's beautiful, creative and so very touching. You've probably have read it already, so I needn't to go into details. It's a lovely story.

I tend to have issues with beren. Her ideas are interesting, but there's a lot of recycling and sometimes she just needs a strong editor.

So I have to be in a particular mood to handle it.
