So I have spent the last couple days reading Harry Potter fic, and swimming around in the fandom and the mood that the fandom gives me. I still cannot believe that the fandom was buzzing around 2003, and that was, like, seven years ago, that just blows my mind. I was really only tangentially into the fandom at the time, hanging around places like The Sugar Qull before it was a huge repository of lots of fic, like when it was just a golden html background with really primitive gifs. And, anyway, the part of fandom I never really found was the Harry/Draco part of fandom. In the past couple days, thanks to a post that bookshop made about Draco, I've read a crapload of really good fic, and I think I'll make a recs post in a few days, but the one fic I really want to talk about while we're here is the Sacrifices Arc a.k.a., the Connor Potter stories.

( Spoilery! I mean, if you can count something written in 2007 not too old to be spoiled. DISCUSSION AND FLAILING AHEAD. )
