Summary:
In eighth year, Harry had a toxic fling with Draco Malfoy. Ten years later, a little girl shows up, begging for Harry's help. Could the two be connected? And did Harry misunderstand what Draco was trying to tell him, the last time they spoke?
Feat. angry 8th year Harry being truly horrible to Draco, Draco writing a lot of letters he never sends Harry, and the most Gryffindor-Slytherin hybrid ten-year-old you've ever seen.
Yes, this is a post-mpreg kidfic, because that’s the way I roll sometimes.
With the disclaimer out of the way, let’s talk about the kid. I want you to imagine the ultimate Malfoy-Potter lovechild, okay? Proud, smart, stubborn, loyal to a fault, and reckless to boot… only crank everything up a notch and you get the titular character.
But not only is Cassie a brilliant little monster, she’s also the force that sets the love story in motion. And what love story it is.
It begins with two broken young men and a tragic, Shakespearean misunderstanding, only to pick up again a decade later when somewhat dramatic circumstances engender a solution of convenience that quickly transforms into something else. There’s a happy ending, of course, but only after a suitable amount of wrong-footedness, pining, and awkward domesticity. Also letters. The best sort of letters. (I mean, like the dialogue, they’re laugh-out-loud funny… until they make you cringe and cry. This fic is part rollercoaster I tell you.)
Oh, and did I mention this is a perfect read-in-one-sitting length for a lazy Saturday-- or any other day, really. Enjoy!
