Very empathetic take on what having Alzheimers does to a person and their family and friends. The fact that it’s embedded in a slow-burn Harry Potter fanfic romance is basically irrelevant, as it should be – the subject matter is taken on with compassion and intelligence, and even though the romance tropes were sometimes a bit blatant, there was only a minimum of silly misunderstandings and hurt pride (which, you know, isn’t unrealistic, just grating when it’s the only plot point). I particularly appreciated the look at Scorpius, a young child turned nonverbal by the death of his mother, and also that the protagonist has an actually supportive/snarky/etc friend group. The regular Girls Nights with the others (and a mix of tough truths, joking, support, and also conflicts of personality etc) made the whole story come alive rather than feeling like a clinical take on illness mixed with a romance. Really well done.
