Summary: Venturing inside the Veil is no easy thing for anyone — except Harry Potter, the Master of Death. And when it becomes too easy, when Potter disappears in search of his godfather, then it becomes the responsibility of Unspeakable Draco Malfoy to bring him back out.
Excerpt:
"You really don't care about the power, do you?" Draco muttered.
Maybe being the Master of Death gave Potter superior hearing or something, because Draco hadn't meant for him to hear that, but he turned back at the door and looked Draco in the eye.
"The people I love mean a lot more to me than any power would," Potter said softly. Then he turned his back and kept walking.
Draco stood there for a second with his hand on the Elder Wand and knew he would recover after that second, and go back to work as if nothing had happened, except an important favor that could advance him in his career. But inside his chest, something tingled and ached, and he thought, Lucky people Potter loves.
Rec Notes: I am a huge fan of Lomonaaeren’s writing (even though I’ve barely scratched the surface of their 600+ HP fics). Every time I read one of their stories, I’m blown away by the world-building, the characterizations, and how beautifully everything is woven together.
Dark Land of Wonders is a captivating read! I adore magical theory, and Lomonaaeren has taken the Deathly Hallows and added another dimension which I found fascinating. I really enjoy alternating POVs, and it was so satisfying to see both Harry and Draco’s perspectives on their journey beyond the Veil, and experience how their perceptions and feelings towards each other change.
If you love magical theory and rituals (and sex magic), I highly recommend you check this out.
