I struggled through the last 10-15 chapters because I was crying so much. I had to put it down quiet a bit, as I could not see through my tears, and my heart needed a break.

I have a new favourite! But it hurts, it really hurts. I can’t get over it. I am absolutely broken after this. Terrible book hangover. Excuse me while I curl up in a ball and cry. I don’t think I will ever recover.

I absolutely loved Theo’s character is this, the comic relief from him helped with the pain at times.

I cried so much! Never have I read anything that made me bawl my eyes out like this fic. I thought Manacled and Isolation pulled my heart strings, but this tops it.

Just some of the quotes that made me cry harder than I already was:

"Draco,” she hushed, and his eyes softened a little at the sound of his name. "I understand that you're hurt, I understand that you don't want to lose anyone else, but you can't do this without me. And it's not your decision to make. We're in this together, it's the only way everyone survives. "Till Death do us part", remember?"

Malfoy laughed cruelly. He smirked at Kingsley and rolled his tongue on the inside of his cheek. "Do you have any idea who I fucking am? I was Voldemort's right hand. I was his Demon Mask. I've slaughtered more people than I could ever count. I've burned cities and army bases to the ground and I've beheaded people just because they pissed me off a little bit. And If I could do all that for a man I despised, what do you think I would do to protect her?"

"And I need you to live!" he sighed heavily and leaned into her hands. "Granger, if you die, I won't survive! You have no idea what you've come to mean to me. You have no idea of the things I would do for you." His hands tightened around her wrists like a handcuff and he clung to her desperately. "You can't leave me now, not when we're this close to having everything!"

"I would do anything you ask of me,” he said the words slowly, as though he were trying to engrave them into her like carving words into stone. "I would butcher the entire world for you, all you need to do is ask. I would become the Horcrux instead of you if I could. I would give up every treasure I have or ever will have. I would carve open my chest, pull out my heart and give it to you if you only asked me to. I would give you anything in the world that you want. But do not ask me to sit back and watch you die."

"One grave," he said. "I want you to bury us together."

"Shhhhh," Hermione caught either side of his face in her hands and pulled until he met her eyes again. "I love you. Are you listening to me? I love you for trying to save me. I love you so much for never wanting to give up on me but look around you. Look at what's happening. We don't have any more time left to be selfish. This..." her voice quivered, it took everything in her to force the next words out. "This needs to happen. Now. I need to die but I'm not ... brave enough to do it myself, so I'm sorry, I really am, Draco, but you need to be the one to kill me."

Draco shook his head. His eyes had never looked so blue. She could see tears gathering in them. "I... I can't. I love you. Don't ask me to do this..."

"I love you, Draco, more than anything...." and there was a finality in her words that made his already breaking heart shatter into a million pieces. Those words siphoned the last of his strength right out of his body. He pressed his forehead against hers and slumped against her. "I love you,” he told her. "Don't go, Granger. Don't leave me." Tha - thump ... Tha - thump … "Please," he whispered against her skin. His fingers tightened in her hair. "P-please don't leave me. You are my heart. You are my soul. You are my ... my little lion. I'm nothing without you ..."

Daphne nodded and turned back to the graves. Draco had been very clear that he wanted to be buried with her. He wanted them to be together in every possible way in this life, just in case he couldn't follow her into the next, but what if he had? "Do you think he found Hermione in the afterlife?" "Absolutely." "How can you be so sure?" "You didn't see them together for as long as I did. Trust me, baby," Theo said, right before he kissed the bridge of her nose. "I saw them move mountains for each other. I saw them literally travel through the gates of hell for each other - it's going to take something a little more complicated than death to keep the two of them apart." ...more "
