Review:
Post-war, Draco is revealed to by a spy for light and he spends most of his time testifying against his former friends and hiding out in Malfoy Manor working on a universal poison antidote. Good thing, too, as someone's trying to kill him. Not wanting to lose their star witness, the Ministry sends over Super!Auror Harry Potter, who promptly moves into Draco's estate to help keep the Ministry's silver boy safe.

Normally I don't have a tough time writing a short summary for a story that captures the essentials, if not all of the details. Tissue of Silver is so layered and so complex, however, that the above summary is just a pale shadow of the story as a whole. There's also Draco's name change and prophetic dreams (which shouldn't work in a story and yet totally does), Draco and Severus's fabulous written correspondence (I would read a novel of just these two corresponding if it wouldn't make me dead of squee! by the end), and of course Harry and Draco's burgeoning relationship. Tissue of Silver truly has one of the richest, most beautiful plots I've ever seen in fanfiction.

The plot isn't the only thing that's wonderful, however. You also have brilliant characterization, especially of Draco and Severus. Fearless Diva captures both of their characters perfectly, certainly better than JKR, and the end result is two of the most fascinating character portrayals I've ever read. Add in some detail about the practicalities of wizarding life, Harry being the long-suffering bodyguard of a very troubled man, and even a mystery as to who's trying to kill Draco and you have my favorite Harry/Draco fic ever.

I am reccing Tissue of Silver and Famous for Their Discord, Tissue's immediate sequel. There are other stories in the universe, but they are very short and not really my cup of tea. You can find them on the author's site above.
