Oh, great story! I love that both version of Harry and Draco benefit from this.

Uwaaaaah!! My heart SO went out to Draco in this, and I was so scared when he had to figure out what to do, and then he DID and and and it was okay!!!!

Absolutely stunning, darling

This was very clever. I really enjoyed the idea of the tapestry (I’d love to find one of those on my own). I absolutely adored the scenes in the alternate universe- it was so perfectly written and just- yea. They were all exactly who you’d expect for them to be (your characterizations are spot-on). I loved that things seemed like they’d be better even after he went back. It was a great way to end it (but now I want to know what happened with the other Draco and Harry?!) Ah, your story was very well done!

The time travel, and the parallel universe idea was inspired! Love the original magic in this--the Tapestry in particular. The best part for me, though, was that in both of these worlds, the two of them could end up being allies; they were both different in their different worlds, but yet still so similar. I loved the entire scene in the Shrieking Shack; it challenged my notions of what those two canon characters are like--just like a good AU fic should do.

You ended it on the perfect note too. The idea that Draco will be focused on helping Harry, and for himself, well, I imagine he's not alone now with what he has to face.

Really well-written, had me on the edge of my seat the first time, and this time I sat back and just enjoyed the ride. Congrats!
