Okay, I was feeling brave this morning and read all the 23K words of "Take What's Left Of Me" in one go. I'm honest, I started reading that one first because it seemed to be the one out of the two I would like least.
Well, turns out I was wrong. Apparently, I'm able to enjoy mpreg, at least if the pregnancy is difficult and angsty and we get a good portion of hurt!Harry. (After all - everyone knows this already - I can't resist him.)
Gods, this fic could easily be one of my most favorites. There were so many things I loved. How Harry gave birth to his child in such a brave yet very gory manner. Man, I admired his strength and will! When he collapsed in his office and Draco got all worried, I was squeeing and nibbling excitedly on my fingers. I so much wanted for Draco to be there for Harry.
When Harry had had his first real glance at his baby boy shortly before he gave him away. Oh.My.God. I'm not one who cries easily, but here I found myself fighting hard against the urge to cry my eyes out.
And then that scene, a year later, when Harry took his son out to the hedge maze, speaking to him in such a lovely, fatherly way. Again, holy damn! I lost the battle against my tears there. It was just so heartbreaking! Draco, when he broke Harry's heart completely, OMG! I so felt for him!
And we even got a glimpse at professional-hit-wizard!Harry. I didn't expect this!
This whole story was so amazing! I love everything! And yes, I can even deal with the mpreg. I've never thought I would say that! I even checked a few of the entries on that mpreg-fest comm in hope of finding a similar one. Any chance there is another one like that out there with Harry hiding his pregnancy?
Finally, I have to thank you for pointing this fic out to me! Thank you! I would have missed one of the most amazing fics I've had the pleasure to read.
