THIS WAS AMAZING! I'm so picky about this sort of trope, or really anything post war, but this was absolutely fantastic! Thank you.

OK, this was great, so we'll timed and all, and just Draco persona is so interesting in this and... Just too much things to say, so I'm going to tell you that you did an amazing job! Bravo! :D

Awesome...loved it! :)
thank you

Wooooooooah! Unexpected but I loved it!

I super love this

Great short story.

Okay, yeah, this was way better than I was expecting. Not that I was expecting bad, but you know what I'm like with Drarry. It was Drarry but it wasn't like shouted at you so that was cool. Plus Voldy Wins is always a win in my book. As is soulmates.

THEO MY LITTLE HEALER BABY I LOVE THAT HE'S HERE. AND THE MENTION OF GEORGESEAMUS! JUST ALL THE SHIPS ALL THE YESSES ALL THE QUEERNESS.

Healer Draco is my jam and the more I read of it the more I fall in love and adopt it as my hc. I love how you have him wanting to heal after all the destruction the war brought. And then spying for the resistance and being a good little egg...

WAIT I just realised why I love this so much. It reminds me of my favourite ever mc which was a Voldy Wins Dramione where Draco spied for the order and Theo was an absolute babe in it and ended up helping the order and so did Blaise. I think I've found my favourite area of fics xD

Anyway, back to /your/ fic...

The 'sir' thing absolutely killed me. I loved that Draco joined in when he met Harry and Theo. To me, it sort of felt like it was the moment where Draco truly became part of the resistance? Like, it was the point that told Harry he wasn't gonna go running back to Voldy with it because he was there and joking around with someone Harry trusts.

The soulmates was so perfect. Like, I don't ship it at all, but I loved how they were a different colour for living/dead and how Draco, despite being enemies, was still curious enough about it and dubious enough about Voldy that he kept it to himself.

Great job :)

I AM HERE FOR THIS FIC!
ALL OF IT.
BECAUSE SOULMATES AND VOLDEMORT WINS AND DRARRY AND HEALER!DRACO AND DIRT LICKING DRACO AND THEOBLAISE AND FUCK YOU BECAUSE IT'S 13K AND I WANT MORE OF IT DAMMIT.
AND THE "BOSS". WHY DO I LOVE THAT SO MUCH?

Okay. But I really tried to do a coherent review. I really did. But I read this again to make sure i remembered it properly and IT WAS EVEN FUCKING BETTER HOW

and you get more rambling about JUST HOW FUCKING PERFECT this story is because it gives me everything I didn't know I needed in life and I love.

Omg, this was amazing! Your Voldemort wins!Au was so great, I loved it. I loved that it was set from Drac's point of view, ie from the point of view of someone who belongs to the winning party. And like, who thought he was in the right at first, who kept silencing his doubts (another great detail). It seems so novel to have that? Because listening to Draco in the beginning it can totally be like 'oh no, yeah, he's right it's really not that bad, why did people fight so much?¡' But he starts to think for himself slowly and starts to see past the propaganda, and then we can really see the dystopia for what it is and how terrible Voldemort's ideas are.
And the soulmate part. God, I love it. It both was and wasn't major in this - which, how? - and it worked perfectly. Harry reaching out via owl was the kind of risky, naive thing he'd do and I loved it. Not sure his voice felt totally right or in character, but I'll attribute that to the AU :p
And everyone calling him 'sir' as a running joke was perfect. I loved it.
This was amazing. Like, all the kudos and loves. *heart*
Nice work!
Cheers!

Ooh – this is an interesting idea, and I’m here for spy Draco. I think he was smart enough in canon to question what he was doing but didn’t have enough courage to do anything about it. How could he when Voldemort has threatened to harm his family?

The VoldemortWins!AU works well for this, and I liked the setting. The Soulmate!AU aspect intrigued me as well. Narcissa/Frank is hella interesting to me, and I may need to write that.

It makes sense that Lucius wouldn’t have a soulmate. I’m curious as to how Lucius became Minister of Magic. In this fic, I don’t mind that he’s the villain, and I can see him sending innocent children to their deaths for “stealing” magic as fucked up as that is. To make myself feel better, I’ll excuse Lucius's behavior and say that he was acting on Voldemort’s orders.

I liked that you waited until Draco turned eighteen to reveal his soulmate. One tiny thing I noticed: the Dark Mark on his wrist. Shouldn’t it be on his forearm? Nice job introducing Harry to the story through his letter. I liked the details you included with Harry’s poor penmanship. Harry’s letter read okay overall, but I’m not entirely sure it captured his personality. It seemed repetitive at parts, though this was probably to emphasize the points he tried to make.

I liked Draco’s inner conflict regarding Harry and whether he didn’t turn in Harry to protect himself or to protect Harry. I’d say a bit of both. Glad the children swayed Draco and pushed him into doing what’s right. His difficulty in putting Lucius on the kill list came through nicely.

Great job incorporating Poppy into the story. She seemed to sense that Draco wasn’t in total support of the Pureblood cause. I liked that she eventually let her guard down and talked to him. The letters Draco and Harry exchanged after he collected the diadem were cute.

I find it silly that Voldemort and his supporters didn’t realise that they are wiping out their population by killing the Muggleborns on the basis that they “stole” their magic. Also, not training the Muggleborns will only put the Wizarding community in jeopardy and make it easier for Muggles to realise that they exist.

I can see Draco being good at potions so having him create one for Voldemort worked well. Good use of the locket Horcrux here. It’s a shame Draco didn’t know the spell to accelerate his dehydration, but perhaps Voldemort would have sensed it. Voldemort underestimated Draco, which led to his demise.

I liked that you kept Voldemort’s death anticlimactic because that’s how it happened in canon. Part of me wanted more of a battle, but having him die this way worked. I’m glad that the rest were successful, so I take it they killed the other five top players?

You developed the budding relationship between Draco and Harry well. I liked the scenes at the end with the happy camp members. I’m here for Draco interacting with Teddy and Andromeda! Also, the nod to Narcissa and Andromeda made me smile. Here for that as well.

For me, it got long at parts, particularly with Draco trying to retrieve the locket. You lost me there for a bit, and I just wanted him to get the damn thing already. It picked up once he got it, and I liked all the interactions he had with Theo and Harry.

Overall, you’ve executed this well. Spy!Draco interested me, and I liked how it all played out.

To be honest, I feel like there's really no need for the first scene to be italicized. It generally implies a flashback, but it was just setting the scene. I dunno, but it felt unnecessary. I like that it was setting up the fact that Draco didn't believe in Voldemort, which makes it easier to accept that he becomes a spy. (Who knew a spy!au would be 13k?)

I like the fact that they get their soulmarks when the become an adult. And it's also a clever way to make Draco know that Harry's not dead. I'm also appreciating the background BlaiseTheo. It's also interesting that you use black for alive and red for dead on the soulmarks.

I like the fact that Harry reaches out through a letter first, tentatively, and with no names. At least he got a bit of sense, or maybe Theo and Blaise beat it into him. Draco making the decision based on children going to Azkaban for being Muggleborns hurt and really does work. They're just children after all.

I'm also here for Healer!Draco. It's so perfect. I love Healer!Draco. Draco&Theo is amazing. I love their friendship. And Theo being all like, "I can't tell you what to do" is so wonderful. Because it's forcing Draco to decide for himself. Also, Draco is clever with sending Popsy.

I am intrigued by Minister!Lucius in this au. How did he get back his standing with Voldy for that position? I'm also very off-put about Harry smoking. But I love the fact that Draco knows his father has to be taken out for real peace to happen, whether he likes it or not. And Draco coming to terms with how wrong Voldy and his father is hurts a bit.

I'm so dying with everyone calling Harry "sir". And Draco just being a complete and utter shit and joining in is hilarious.

Also Madam Pomfrey being alive is so nice. And her disappointment in Draco hurts. But she shares her knowledge so easily when he expresses how he wants to heal, which is so in character for her. She's always looking out for people. It was also clever way for Draco to talk to Helena without raising eyebrows.

As i'm reading through Draco brewing and formulating a plan, all I can think of is Voldy being smarter than you thought and having to figure out how to fix it which is hilarious. Yes, Draco, faking your own death is absolutely the right plan. And THEN THERE'S DIRTLICKER!DRACO. That is fucking amazing.

Ah yes, have the house-elf explain why you can be healed. Of course, Theo can make it look right and Draco forgot. Good job there, Draco.

I love the fact that Draco is so against Harry being the one to fight Voldy. It shows a change in their relationship that is very nice. And then Harry refusing to let Draco come with him because of his injuries was lovely.

Honestly the ending was way less dramatic that expecting. Which is nice. Voldy shouldn't get a nice, dramatic death. And I'm laughing at the way Harry's like, "Nah, I ain't gonna give a speech, but I'm gonna give a speech."

I love that even after the war, all of them are little shits who still call Harry "sir", and now are calling Andi "mum". That's just perfect. And the Andi&Draco moment was sweet.

But the real question is: how did this end up 13k? Some fucking sorcery, probably. I hate you a bit.

I really like how the soul mate tattoos are different colors depending on if the person is alive or dead and how that's how Draco realizes that Harry is alive. It's also nice that Draco was having doubts before the soul mate tattoo appeared and didn't suddenly make a dramatic transformation. His change in heart feels very believable here, and I appreciated him telling Harry that he never wanted to betray his family.

Popsy was a surprising character for me in that I didn't expect to like her so much, but I think you did a great job with her characterization.

Also, I love Andromeda and Teddy, so I loved getting to see the two of them at the end of the story.

THIS IS PERFECT. THE DRARRY WAS DONE REALLY WELL AND THE THEBLAISE WAS FLAWLESS AND THE WHOLE PLOT WAS AMAZING. I loved how you started slow with the letters and then built up the relationship. You did the whole VoldemortWins!AU element perfectly. The sir part made me laugh :p AND THE ENDING MADE ME ABSOLUTELY MELT. Happiness for all the smol beans! I love this fic. I love you. :3

I. Love. This. So. FREAKING. MUCH!

great
