CP Draco, 1V1, 2020, original protagonist. Growth direction, emotional flow, slow-burning (book friends who like it can collect it first).
One sentence summary: Magic is a lie, love makes the lie become truth.
Evan Greville was predicted at birth that he would not live past the age of sixteen.
This is not some vague curse that can be broken with courage and friendship - this is the "fact of death" left by Voldemort before his death, which has been anchored in reality. Every day he lives, he is heading towards that predetermined end.
He could have resigned himself to his fate. But he doesn't.
At Hogwarts, while disguising himself as a frail pure-blood young master, he searched for gaps in the dark magic books to tamper with reality. And the only person who made him willing to stop was the platinum bastard who had been following him since childhood.
Draco Malfoy had no idea what Evan was doing. All he knew was that this man's face turned pale again, he stopped eating, and he was lying to him and said "it's okay" again.
"What are you hiding from me?"
"You won't live to be sixteen - I mean, I'd never let that happen."
