What utter rubbish

I'm mad at you because you're a good writer and I read this whole story. But it was so unsatisfying. I was waiting and waiting for the true take down of Draco. But it never came. You wrote him as a sympathetic character to the end. When he was HORRIBLE. I expected better for Hermione.

This entire story is just one giant glorification of rape. Sickening.

honestly loved this whole fucking ride and both endingsif I had read this years ago I would have been so concerned with how dark this is but after getting through the cultural staple that is manacled (on my second attempt) this seems almost fluffy in comparison

the writing is so excellent throughout and I was hooked the entire time

I am so glad that this isn’t the final ending

I like this ending. it's satisfying, and Draco is redeemed, although I'm disappointed at the lack of revenge.

yuck on the evil ending

yay, now it's getting really good

I’m on reread number idk, and just had the thought today that they all get sort of proportional comeuppance in the end. Marcus and Theo and Draco all represent different levels of betrayal and stakes, and I had never thought of that in the abstract. Zabini as well for that matter… no atonement-just death, 11 years of misery and correcting a wrong, 3 years of misery and correcting my a wrong, and Marcus lives his life of wedded bliss. It seems important narratively that the premise isn’t the problem, that the other characters had other options, that while Draco was a dick, it really didn’t have to be that way. Like, Theo and Marcus didn’t have to tamper with birth control. Theo ultimately chose not to protect his father. Obviously Malfoy’s behavior lands as reprehensible throughout, but I hadn’t thought about the ways that is juxtaposed against vivid examples of alternate choices he could have made. Thanks for writing!

I still don't think the bastard deserves forgiveness for what he did

this is so fucking sick!
i really hate this alternative ending!
i really hope the revenge to be horribly sweet!
fucking ferrety bastard needs to know he can't just do anything he pleases. bloody Slytherin a**hole...
i personally wanna choke him to death

this is great writing so far, but also very disturbing and dark. I definitely need a light palate cleanser before continuing.

consent is not even a word in the pureblood vocab. their conversations are so disturbing

just realized that if I treat this universe as a dystopia, it is less frustrating

oh no this is really sad. i was not prepared for that. the poor girl
