★ If an assassin’s blade ★ were made into a man,★ it would take the form of ★ Draco Malfoy★

Not me being stupefied by the fanfic written better than half of the published books I read last year.

On the cover of the Daily Prophet was a picture of Malfoy calmly disemboweling Graham Montague in the middle of the St Mungo’s waiting room.


A̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶g̶r̶e̶s̶s̶i̶v̶e̶l̶y̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶f̶i̶c̶ ̶d̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶G̶R̶ ̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶s̶'̶ ̶t̶h̶r̶o̶a̶t̶s̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶T̶H̶A̶T̶ ̶G̶O̶O̶D̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶a̶r̶t̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶by myself

“So many schemes,” he said as he straightened and tilted his head back, appraising her with cold, mocking eyes. “Then again, I’d feel disappointed if you weren’t entertaining at least one plot to try to kill me and escape. I can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with next.”


What did I learn about myself when I finished reading this story? I'm not dead inside. 💀

Finally, Malfoy was standing over her, his face white, his eyes glittering with rage, “I have warned you. If something happens to you, I will personally raze the entire Order. That isn’t a threat. It is a promise. Consider your survival as much a necessity to the survival of the Resistance as Potter’s. If you die, I will kill every last one of them.”


One of the most soul-wrenching, beautiful and epic love during wartime stories with a superb plot that I've ever laid my eyes on.

“You’re mine. You swore yourself to me,” he said in her ear, as he slipped out of her and dragged her tightly against himself. “Now. And after the war. You promised it. I’m going to take care of you. I’m not going to let anyone hurt you. You don’t have to be lonely. Because you’re mine.”


P. S. If you want to be blown the fuck away, it's better to dive in the story without reading too many any spoilers... though my tags are full of them and for that I'm not sorry.

P. S. NOT hinting at anything, but there is the link to the story you might want to download:

Manacled

While I'm off to crying myself to sleep. I refuse to review this particular book properly. 😭

 ⚔Irunía⚔ @Darkreads, I simp over this fanfic sm, totally approve. DO IT 🙌🏻


Pinky Yessss there are no limits, fanfics and everything lessago 🙌🏽amazing review


Penny "Not me being stupefied by the fic written better than half of the published books I read last year" lo leí en febrero también y sigue ahí arriba en lo mejor del año 🥺 pero pienso en esta historia y me deprimo sdjadj


Maleficent Omg! I haven't seen you this mesmerized by any book in a long time.... I am wery tempted to read it but I haven't read any Harry Potter books.. I've seen maybe half of one movie... so I'm not sure if I could read this one? Tell me is it necessary for me to understand the plot to know the original Harry Potter story? Please tell me I don't!🙏Great review! Not too long and to the point. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


 ⚔Irunía⚔ @pinky, 🤌🏻🤌🏻


 ⚔Irunía⚔ @penny, todavía estamos atrapadas por la historia porque es muy amarga. El sólo pensarlo hace que me sienta triste 🥺


message 27: by ⚔Irunía⚔ (last edited Dec 02, 2021 01:19AM) (new) - rated it 5 stars

 ⚔Irunía⚔ @Kenake, I haven't either and I had no problems understanding the story 🙌🏻
ENJOY IT IF YOU DARE 😈


Ps. Try not to read any spoilers


Maleficent That great news! I've only read your review so if I know something I shouldn't it's your fault 😉 One more question: is it a happy ending? I really need to know that. At the moment I can handle anything as long as it ends happily even if it's twisted happy 😊


message 29: by Ashleyjo (new)

Ashleyjo I think I may be the only person on earth who hasn’t read Harry P books.. 🤦‍♀️. Glad you enjoyed this, doll.


 ⚔Irunía⚔ @Kenake, the answer to your question is a bittersweet yes, go ahead 🤌🏻


 ⚔Irunía⚔ @Ashleyjo, since fanfics don't count do they there are at least three of us in the 'never read Harry P books' club right here 💅🏻
Thank you xx

Teelah Yes to everything. I’m rereading it atm and omg it rereads so well.


 ⚔Irunía⚔ @Teelah, you're braver than me!! Idk when I'll be able to reread this one, I'm still traumatised. 😔 Either way, it's good to know that upon a reread you still find it enjoyable (rare occasion for me)


Teelah My memory is abysmal, which helps )


Ashley S. I love this so much it's ruined all other fics for me 😭😭


 ⚔Irunía⚔ @Ashley, it ruined many books for me 🌚

Cordelia I wonder how malfoy went from calling hermoine mudblood to that...but gonna read soon


 ⚔Irunía⚔ @cordelia, hate is just a form of love xD


Fruitsnacks This was so artfully crafted-the author clearly had done their research, from the HP series to other aspects of the book, such as, the description of healing/anatomy- so much so, it made me question if they had training in the medical field themselves.

I fell in love with the spin on these characters, and completely agree with your analogy to Assassin’s Blade- the High Reeve being the equivalent of Celaena Sardothien, with a dash of HMT for flavor.

Confession- this was the first time I genuinely felt guilty NOT paying for reading material- I’ve certainly paid more than I’d like to for mediocre mainstream stuff when compared to this. Thank you so much for this review and recommendation!

 ⚔Irunía⚔ @Fruitsnacks, so happy you loved it!! I've been waiting to hear what you thought of it.

Honestly same, this fic deserves all the praise AND money. I can't even begin to imagine how much time and effort it took to write this fanfic the way it's written: emotionally charged, authentic, original, accurate in details, psychological and well researched. On top of that, the language is superb and effortlessly eloquent. Insane quality even for a published book let alone a mere fanfic 🌚


message 48: by Dona (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dona M I actually deep dived into fanfiction after reading this. This story has just grasped in its hold. I can't belive the plot so well defined, characters with so much depth.


 ⚔Irunía⚔ @dona, yeah same it was my first fanfic and the one that sucked me in hp fanfiction universe 🌚


message 50: by Dona (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dona M What other ships in hp do you read?
