Oh my God. I am literally speechless. This beautiful, beautiful fic has blown me away.

You managed to create such a harrowing, bleak picture of the future and I loved reading every minute of it. VoldemortWins!aus are a favourite of mine (though they always make me sob!) and yours was written wonderfully.

I loved the world building surrounding these events and the passing mentions of things such as Harry's death and Ginny's loss of hope were especially gut-wrenching. I was genuinely weeping the whole way through.

The use of the soulmate!au was also woven in brilliant. Give me an angsty soulmate!au and I will adore it, no questions asked. Yours was no exception. I've never really read Charlie/Draco before but you portrayed the characters and their emotions so well that I was rooting for them by the end. Fantastic job! Xx

Give me a Voldemort Wins!AU and I will eat it up, but to toss in a Soulmate!AU to offer hope or pain to those in this apocalyptic world? Ouch, my heart.

This is very well written and so nicely thought out, I honestly don't know what to say. I don't read much Charlie/Draco, but you handled their characterization well. I adore Imogene, and her character development was just perfect.

Honestly I wish there was more so questions could be answered. Such as how did Draco find Charlie? I figured that he flew too close to the wards. What was Draco's tattoo? Why did he get murdered? Possibly because of finding his soulmate?

I am heartbroken that you teased a promise of a something and then snuffed it away like a candle in the wind. Ouch. My. Heart. Great writing, great job.

So the main thing I came out of this story with is: What was Draco's tattoo? I was waiting the whole story for that and then... nothing.
But, about the rest of it. I really enjoyed reading it. It was like a small pin of light in the midst of darkness. I could feel how hopeless that world would be. I can't believe Ginny just gave up! That was so sad! I don't even really have a lot of feelings towards Ginny's character after the second book, but I felt for her and Charlie for having to go through that.

Okay, so many emotions and I just. I love this.
Charlie was perfect. He really was. His attachment to Misty was just like he is in canon (and btw, Misty is amazing and I love her and need more of her). His defiance towards Draco was just like his character as well, and I love how it wasn't just "Let's compare soulmarks. A match? Great! We're in love." Making them work for it made this so much more real, and so much sadder at the end.
The AU was amazing. I love Voldemortwins!aus, and you wrote this one so well! Totally in love. The danger felt so real, especially when you mentioned what had happened to Charlie's family. Ginny's story... ugh. I wanted to cry. The definition of heartbreaking.
Speaking of heartbreaking, IMOGENE. Her love story was so tragic to begin with (I low-key ship her with Narcissa now. Just saying), but when you killed the boy she loved like a son—nope. Too man tears. Her reaction was dead on, and I felt her pain. And I know I'm rambling, which I apologize for, but this renders me speechless every time.
Okay, but Draco. His death was just. So sad. I love him. He was the perfect him, and I just wanted him to have a happy ending with his soulmate and Misty. :( Have I told you that I love Chaco because of you? It's true, and this fic reinforces that fact. You write Draco and Charlie so well that the ship just comes alive, and Lucy I can't. I love you. Love this.

You r00d. So r00d.

Okay, so I love Voldy wins and soulmates au and I love that you combined them. You combined them flawlessly.

I was super intrigued by the ability to track magic, even when magic wasn't used. I would love to see this expanded on. It's also interesting that to combat this, Charlie was sticking close to magical wards. I would love to know how that worked.

Okay, not gonna lie, I felt some strong Beauty and the Beast vibes when Draco took Charlie prisoner. Idk if that's what you were aiming for.

Imogene. I was very intrigued by her, and I like the implications of NarcissaImogene. I'm here for femslash. She very clearly cared for Draco, and was so heartbroken for a boy who couldn't really fight the darkness.

Charlie and Draco's interactions were very well done. I liked that Charlie was extremely wary of Draco and it took a while for him to come to sympathize with Draco. Also, fuck you for the Ginny bit. That was also r00d.

I felt that ending was coming and it still hurt. Goddamn Draco trying to hide the fact that he was holding Charlie prisoner and died for it. You just r00d.

I definitely wasn't expecting Draco to die, but I kind of like that you went there since it felt kind of original. I do wonder what made Voldemort actually kill Draco though, if he learned about Draco's soul mate or something else.

Charlie's mark (and I'm assuming Draco's though we never get to see it) is a dragon. That's such a perfect fit.

Imogene was an interesting character. Thinking about her and Narcissa being soul mates but Narcissa being forced to be with Lucius anyway fascinates me. It makes me wonder if Lucius knew who Narcissa's real soul mate was or if that was a secret, and if he knew, I'm really curious about his relationship with Imogene. I could honestly read a whole story about that situation.

This was really well done. I think you used both the Voldemort Wins and Soul Mate AU aspects really well, and it felt true to Harry Potter even with the changes. I enjoyed reading it.

Hey there,
this is nothing what I would usually read - I don't like AUs in general, and especially I don't like Soulmate!AU and Voldemort Wins!AU - but after having read this maybe I just stumbled over the wrong stories? Because your fic and your universe was soo well done, honestly! I was enjoying this story from beginning until the end. Your characterisations and the entire Soulmate thing was so well done, your writing on point and I can't really say what I didn't like (apart from, well, the overall idea of AUs but I can hardly blame you!)
Thanks for posting this, you kept me very entertained.

I have emotions. A lot of them. And I don't quite know how to express them beyond fuck you.

Okay. For real. Voldemort wins is my JAM. It is my most favorite AU, and you wrote it so well here. I like that you included a soulmate!AU as well... a soulmate!au without a happy ending, to boot. How beautiful. And the combination felt so natural too.

I loved Charlie here. He was exactly as I imagine him. Your Draco was on point as well. He felt like the Draco we see in canon, but he was softer from the war and just... yes. They were perfect together, and you captured the chemistry well.

I was so curious about Imogene. And I was not disappointed when her origins were revealed. I wasn't expecting that, but omg. I approve so much. Such a nice little added heartache ESPECIALLY SINCE YA JUST CASUALLY MENTION NARCISSA DYING, YOU RUDE HEATHEN

I'm just gonna pretend that ending didn't happen, k? K.

I loved this. I love you. Great job. Hurt me again.

This was beautiful. The soulmate!AU was done really well and you managed to put your own spin on it, too, which can be really hard with such a popular trope. But I’m in love with your characterizations of them all and Imogene’s whole story was heartbreaking.
I was really wondering where the rest of the Weasleys were at this point, but also my heart dropped so low with the subtle mention of all of them that died. That was brutal. How dare
I really just love this. You captured the tones of the scenes so well and the shifting of the mood throughout and the descriptions and everything, I just really felt so much for all of them. God. All the emotions. Nicely done xx

I never thought of this pairing before, even so I liked the result of this piece. It did feel a bit rushed that Charlie would be so quick in accepting Draco's attention. I would have liked to see a bit more of struggle between the pair rather than Charlie calmly staying put and making his observations about the blond. The way I see Charlie, he would have tried to at least escape once and I also would have liked a bit more of detail to their interaction. A bit more of a backstory if you would.

Even so, I did like the story and the symbol that you put into Charlie's mark, with both his passion for Dragons and Draco's name meaning Dragon in Latin. The ending was pretty sad and the last few lines were brilliant. They tugged at my heartstrings because it made me think of all the possibilities lost. Kudos for writing a very good story!

I have to say I really enjoyed this one. I would never have thought to combine a Soulmate!AU and a Voldemort Wins!AU together. But I have to say they make for a very good combo. I like how you have the Soulmate mark being something connected to one or both of the people. Example Charlie's mark being a dragon with his love of dragons and Draco being his Soulmate. Or I assume that's what you were implying. Right? I also kind of found myself liking how Draco felt like Imogene was a part of his family too. He really seemed to have cared for her. I enjoyed how you made Draco a more sympathetic character too. All around this great interesting story. Keep up the good work.

First of all, you're kinda (majorly) awesome and I kinda (definitely) love you too :P
But also.
FUCK YOU! HOW VERY FUCKING DARE!
So. This is beautiful. And also PAINFUL. I loved the beauty and the beast hints throughout it, like with the library and such. That made me happy, because Beauty and the Beast is best. Seriously. I loved the way you wrote Draco. At first I was thinking 'Fuck you, Draco.' In the middle it was 'aww, poor Draco.' and the end was very much HOW FUCKING DARE.
The little bits of angst through the fic (Ginny. I don't even like her and oh my god the pain in that was REAL) (And also Narcissa and Imogene. That was pain too) was all perfect and I loved the way you balanced them out.
MISTY. Misty wins all the prizes. I love Misty. Can I have a Misty? I want a little two people dragon that's getting chubby. I need her. She wins.
The ending is awful. Painful. Cruel. And WINS EVERYTHING.
You broke my heart and made me love it. This is perfect. Literally all the things I love rolled into one and you're an actual real life angel and I love you.
Thank you so much for this. (insert a million kissy emoji's here) :D
