Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 60,500
Summary: The next war followed hard upon Voldemort’s defeat. Muggles find out about wizards. This makes Harry feel bad. Draco doesn't love Harry back. This makes Harry feel sad. Then there's conspiracy and intrigue and working together and Legilimency and murder and adventure and suspicion and magical things, and all of this makes Harry feel mad. So this fic is about Harry feeling all the feelings, and then everyone else feels feelings too. Even Draco. Remix of Ellhorn by

This story is just so, so good.
The fall of the Veils, is basically about that, the magical Veils that protect the Wizarding world from Muggles fall. Muggles all of the sudden can see Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic. There's chaos and death, and for all the advantages magic gives them, they are outnumbered and unprepared against Muggles and their organisation and weapons.
This happens just a few months after Voldemort falls and so the magical world see itself in another war against the very people they were trying to protect. The story starts after the war with the Nonmagicals has been fought and peace has been achieved, however there are still crimes against wizards being committed, and it's one of these that Harry and Draco are going to investigate together, but in between it tells how it all began, and it also tells about a new power Harry has when a Dementor half-kisses and left him with empathic power—being able to feel, perceive what others feel, but it goes both ways as other are also able to pick up what Harry is feelings if Harry let his defences down.
The story, the writing, is amazing, and the characterisations are gorgeous. The way Draco is written, so restrained and composed, but inside full of passion, is beautiful. And the way Harry loves him, so fiercely, so completely is even more so. The way through all this, to see this love of Harry for Draco grow from respect and admiration, and then see Draco's feelings for Harry, back from Hogwarts all through the two wars they faced, it's just brilliant, absolutely brilliant. If you give this amazing story a chance, you're not going to regret it, and you won't be able to put it down until you get to the end, and then you'll want to read it again. :D
