    Summary

    "Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”

    “What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.

    “Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

    Draco becomes a Healer-- a story of redemption by inches with an eventual relationship, though it's not the core focus. Lovely, be sure to reread when feeling shitty someday.

    Absolutely splendid actor AU. Somewhat similar vibes to old favorite "Performance in a Leading Role", but deeper on the angst in the best way. Full of poetry and music, endlessly quotable. Author could easily go pro, but half the fun here is the tension around the motif of "falling," with Crowley at the bottom and Az afraid at the top.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Gorgeous story told in the format of ongoing therapy sessions. Do I normally like outsider POV or original characters? No. Is this perfect exactly the way it is? Yes. Perfect bittersweet ending-- the raw character integrity on display here is really something special.
