Why you should read this ...
It's the most believable L/J story that I've come across, exploring the change in their relationship. Two Muffins's ideas of their dynamics quite fit my own. It's also evident that she's put in a lot of effort with characterisation and backstory. It's resulted in a very compelling tale, achieving her goal of showing just how Harry's beginning was really forged in pure love.
