Summary
"Death"
"You are finally ready, I see"
"Ready for what?"
"To live"
"Wasn't I doing just that?"
"Were you?"Harry had no answer.
(Perhaps that was answer enough. Or perhaps Death just enjoyed being cryptic. Hard to say.)
___{Time-travel AU. Watch as Harry is yeeted into the past, bullies the wizarding world into making sense, and absolutely refuses to follow Dumbledore’s script. Features excessive worldbuilding (someone's gotta fix this mess), slow-burn romance (because trauma-bonding is hot), and a protagonist who treats destiny like Terms & Conditions—unread and promptly ignored. Happy ending optional, sarcasm mandatory.}

Summary
Returning for his Eighth Year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy doesn't know what to expect. The war is over, the trials have ended, and Hogwarts has been restored to it's former glory, but even though the war may be over, the aftermath certainly isn't; not for anyone, and especially not for him. All Draco can do now is try to move forward, do his best to show that he's changed, and hope beyond hope that someone, anyone, will see it.
If only he could figure out why Potter is being so bloody nice to him.
Featuring a very determined Draco who isn't as whole as he pretends to be, a sweet and persistent Harry Potter who has finally figured himself out, Pansy, Blaise, and Theo as Draco's sassy and insightful support system, an overly protective House Elf, and an entirely unexpected ally in the form of one Hermione Granger.
