Why you should read this ...
This is a story that truly fits both Dean and Luna, and takes a very different direction for their relationship. It's perfectly canon-compliant (including interviews, so you can probably guess what the warning is) and it shows the development of a relationship during the war beautifully. Luna is captured well here, her unique personality visible on page. And best of all, it is how they are shown as learning from each other as they go along that makes this story such a treasure.
