["linagabriev" from aff.net] I hope you don't mind if I review here for your one-shots, for questions. Its the "chaptered" stories that makes aff.net more appealing.
Anyways, beautiful work here. I had a different impression the moment Draco had remembered the word "flung." All I could think of was Astronomy Tower or something, so although this ending is bittersweet, and I'm rather glad it was a potion. This way Draco is still alive, and still has a chance to snap out of this someday, although the likelihood doesn't seem to be good, nor would it be kind to Draco to be woken up.
As for the actual dreamworld: gorgeous. It was sweet to see the pair in love, even if their situations weren't perfect, and friends and family weren't kind.
Question: what was the burning paper? Rereading this piece I tried to find congruency or clues, and couldn't find many, except for Draco's "frayed memories" and the "fulfillment of dreams." Neither gave me the impression to make me guess at the ending, which I rather am glad for. It suggests the perfectness of Draco's potion and will, I suppose. By the end I wasn't surprised [in a bad way] of your ending.
I'm just really curious about Harry in the real world. Is he affected? What is he doing? Is he allowing himself to feel guilty? These will probably appropriately remain unanswered, but all the same, I have these questions.
Gorgeous one-shot.
Of course, if I have entirely the wrong conclusion please let me know. lol
