Fandom: Harry Potter
Genre: AU, postwar!fic
Length: Medium (Words: 53,167)
Author's Summary:
Bad things happen. Life gets strange. Dudley tries to carve out a little bit of normality in a world that has gone mad around him.
Review:
This is a great Dudley-Redeemed story that takes place immediately after the war. I love how each chapter ends with a newspaper excerpt to show how the larger world is managing the war's aftermath and how the individual characters' lives in the story fit in with the larger whole. I also like actions-have-consequence stories on principle and this one is really creative too. Dudley's pretty well in character for the end of canon, taking into account the story's character development. The various OCs are great too. But I especially like the cultural/political plot which I don't really want to get into detail about for fear of spoiling it, especially considering how the story starts out treating what "the new normal" is as a big reveal, but I absolutely recommend this fic for it.
