Review:
When I got back into reading Harry Potter fanfiction after spending some time focusing on other fandoms, one of the first things I did was revisit Jennavere’s stories. Of all of them, this is unquestionably my favorite. It’s just such a sweet, happy story — the sort that makes you feel good when you read it.

Draco is positively smitten with Harry, and there are so many charming little moments — giving Harry the gloves off his hands, for example, or sending him a hangover potion of his own making — that show just how far gone he really is. He’s unquestionably a kinder, gentler Draco than we see in canon, but that’s the beauty of fanfiction, I think, that we get to see all these different interpretations of the characters we love (or love to hate). Harry is adorably clueless and noble by turns, and my absolute favorite moment involves his “chest monster”. It makes me smile every time.

Smarmy, gold-digging Blaise is a delightful, not-too-evil antagonist, and Hermione’s role in putting our oblivious boys out of their misery is fun, particularly when a nervous Draco is prepared to spend a small fortune to secure her help. She’s not above a little trickery, and it leads to a hot, funny, and sexy conclusion.

It's like an instant shot of happiness, isn't it? Jennavere's writing is so distinctive and memorable. I still find myself thinking of Vertigo from time to time, wishing I could read the final chapter.

I love Gryffindor 101 too :) And I'll always feel a bit melancholic that Vertigo wasn't finished. I love her little one-shots too but Single Wizard Seeking Same will always be my favorite.

(Sorry, I didn't see LJ had marked this comment as suspicious until ekishou had already replied and fixed her link.)
