!!!!!!! OMG, the beginning was just fhisdkhfjkFJ GUH!!!! so, so good and ridiculously hot.
and i loved the meeting with healer pontiff. it really helped highlight how much harry's life and harry himself has changed now that the malfoys have accepted him into the fold, but that he's still retained a strong sense of self and can hold his own among them.
i just loved this story. it was really unique in that i've never read a story in which harry has had such an understanding/sympathy for pureblood culture and in which he's actively acclimated to it outside of a dark!fic. in that way, the fic offered a new and interesting take on the popular themes of family, tradition and prejudice. i enjoyed lucius and narcissa's characterizations immensely, and modest!harry was extremely well done. i also think the strong division between inside/outside the malfoy family offered a particularly intimate view of draco in relation to his connection to his family and pureblood values.
