From Wikipedia: ‘The Ugly Duckling (original title: Den Grimme Ælling) is a literary fairy tale by Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen (1805 – 1875). The story tells of a homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers abuse from his neighbors until, much to his delight (and to the surprise of others), he matures into a graceful swan, the most beautiful bird of all. The story is beloved around the world as a tale about personal transformation for the better.’ ♥

*sigh* This was so lovely! I liked how you never truly describe Draco, but give us little glimpses of him from his own eyes. I know from personal experience that the longer we look at ourselves in the mirror the less we like what we see, so it was very easy to empathise and feel for him. What was most heart-breaking was how lonely and shunned you make him. And the little details of Draco adorning himself with glitter and stars to make himself feel like he was shinning, or Draco dancing alone in the dark corner, made me sniffle a bit. I loved how when he was happy he actually cool see him inner glow and saw himself at last as beautiful! Lovely lovely bittersweet story!
