A Big Black Sky

by AlexMeg

Draco shifts his head as he turns to look at Scorpius, his cheek touching the pillow. "Did you know that…" He pauses, his throat convulsing, and it sounds audible in the silence, besides Michael's steady, even breathing from the other bedroom.

Scorpius is staring back at him, in wait of something new to learn, a beautiful and intelligent child. He has Draco's mind. He has Draco's eyes and nose and mouth and hair. He is his. All his. All he has of Michael are his wild curls and the green of his eyes, and sometimes he looks into them and imagines that they aren't Michael's, but someone else's.

Draco leans his head closer, biting the quiver out of his lips before he breathes a laden and shuddering exhale, and he whispers, "You are my star in a big black sky."

Really appreciated the subtle hand at depicting Draco's awful circumstances. Can't remember the last time I read these issues handled so well outside of fic. The relationship development is lovely and OMG the kids are fucking adorable. Instant fave.

5 stars…
Draco’s domestic abuse and baby Scorp was heart breaking but I’m glad they found peace. I kinda hate when couples break up forever and get back together but whatever.

This is an absolutely gut wrenching Drarry fic. Draco is living on the streets with Scorpius, when Scorpius falls ill. He is unable to get help because of his past, so he tracks Harry down by luck. The story that follows is beyond sad. I cried multiple times but loved how it resolved and the growth of them all. Draco and Scoop are my favorite.

why would you write this (gimme more)

This is my favourite fan fiction of all time. It means so much to me. I can't even describe the emotions it makes me feel. I literally see this as the canon ending to Harry Potter and I'm not even sorry. I love Scorpius so much I just wanna give him a hug. Teddy is absolutely adorable and must be protected at all costs. And Draco and Harry... literal perfection.

I know this fic has domestic violence tags and normally I pay attention to tags but I didn’t this time. Boy did I pay for my mistake!
This whole story revolves around domestic violence, it was hard to read but it has a beautiful ending. Anyway, after reading the first chapter and feeling like crap, I couldn’t DNF because I needed this fic to unbreak my heart.
Solid read, mature rating so all the spice fades to black, friendships and healing.

This made me cry so much. Draco, Scorpius, Harry and Teddy were just adorable. So happy that draco and scorpius were able to heal and have the happy life they deserved.

“He is still Draco Malfoy, all smirks and snark, but he's just Draco without the gritty parts, the malice, the prejudice. He's just lovelier and quieter.”

I just love drarry so much, the way harry loves draco and the way draco love harry is so heartwarming. And them taking time for everything to fit was perfect.

I loved this book so much. It made me cry so much though, it hurt to read about the domestic abuse that Draco and Scorpius went through. I'm so glad that Draco met Harry on the street and fell in love with him. I hated Michal and I'm so glad that Harry dealt with him. Teddy and Scorpius' friendship was absolutely adorable. Love the fact that Teddy's a Slytherin and Scorpius is a Hufflepuff.

This was a fanfic???? Thats wild! This was so intense I dont even know how to put it into words. HEA incase you're wondering and no annoying irrelevant "near end misunderstanding trope break up" just so the book can have a climax! It well written and flows in a realistic smooth and true to the characters fashion.

I get that this is a fanfic and all but it didnt feel like it at all. Dont want to give any spoilers but at a certain point i found myself crying and i didn't even realise i was crying. Great writing, depiction of its main issue, mental health representation, raw emotions and realistic expectations of a journey towards healing. Honestly i loved it

[Ekat Dim · Rating 4 out of 5]

The fic was very well written and I enjoyed reading it. However, I felt that there wasn't much of a build up to Harry and Draco's first kiss, that I would have liked from Drarry. None the less it was a good story.

The story was just brilliant, though I skipped some of the really long descriptions yet I loved how the emotions were explored and the dynamic was maintained throughout the story.

Malfoy in abusive relationship

like FUCKKK dude

[Flor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Honestamente este podría ser el fanfic que me introdujo al Mpreg. No me mal entiendan, ya estaba presente cuando inició el género omegaverse pero... es diferente el tropo de Mpreg: magia y hechizos.
Ame este fanfic, no hay más que decir, hubiera preferido más interacciones entre Draco y Harry novel amoroso pero el que tuvieron nivel familiar lo fue todo

[Kai]

very much enjoyed, loved the depiction of domestic abuse, I wish there had been longer on the relationship development instead of years skipped but I am actively spoilt for ten thousand page fics lol

A Big Black Sky: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

AlexMeg

When he looks at his life these days, he sees a big black sky full of millions of stars. There are so many of them that sometimes he can only see the stars and not notice the big black sky at all.

Draco escapes from an abusive marriage with a sick son and no way to help him. Until he runs into Harry Potter, of course, who simply will not just stand blithely by.

Tropes:
– Draco/Harry fanfiction
– Hurt/comfort
– Forced proximity
– Single dad

LITERALLY. SO. AMAZING. I. DON'T. HAVE. WORDS. This was one of the best Drarry fics I have ever read. I mean truly so amazing. The hurt/comfort is top tier and the way that Harry is so protective over Draco and Scorpius? It means everything to me. Plus, Teddy rounding out their little family, ugh. Just amazing development, individual characteristics, and overall story.

All the stars in the big black sky for this one.

[Martunita ✨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one is life-changing. It had me sobbing in the first chapter and connecting with Draco and Scorpius so quick.
I loved Dracos character development and his healing process. And it was impecable how every issue was treated so delicately and respectfully.
Ron and Hermione's love???? also Harry and Draco's love??? is the kind of love i'm looking for ❤️
Of course Teddy being slythering and Scorpius being hufflepuff was beautiful, wouldn't have it any other way.
There's so much to talk about!!! it's beautiful, read it, you'll be doing yourself a favor ❤️

[Tobe · Rating 5 out of 5]

First fic to make me cry in awhile. When it is tagged for dark themes, definitely an emphasis on dark. Reminded me of Number Seven by Sara Holmes.

I quote:
"There are so many of them that sometimes he can only see the stars and not notice the big black sky at all."

Not a day goes by that I don't think about that quote.
