twisted_miracleThis was freaking awesome. AWESOME! I loved so very, very much of it. Watch how ICMezzo integrates Draco's routine into the story. It's positively marvelous.
The conversations Draco has with his mother are usually bloody hilarious. I loved learning about Draco's anger and Narcissa's shock through the description the other gives of their accidental ("accidental?") magic. I also ICMezzo's adorable House Elf, Nettle. She gets to give a little speech partway through the fic, and it's awesome -- especially because of the sound effects!
The premise was beyond unusual, but it makes a frame around which ICMezzo hangs a great story. It doesn't distract or get in the way.
But most of all I was all caught up with Draco and his new life. I loved his awful relationship with his mother. I enjoyed his devotion to routine and control and normalcy. I loved watching him freak out, just a little inside, about how hot Harry is now. And I loved watching them move slowly and inexorably toward each other. LOVELY stuff! So glad I read it, and I bet you will be, too!

Summary: “It’s only a mirage,” they tell Draco (and Pepper). “You must be imagining,” they dismiss him in turn. But Draco Malfoy is certain that something is out there, and, come hell or Harry Potter, he’ll find out. He will.
Contains: Dragons, mirages, and Arthurian legends. Also a recalcitrant crup and a house-elf on a tricycle. (I honestly don’t know how these things happen.)
