    Honey! This utterly enchanted me from the first image until the last. The interplay of elemental magic and how Harry's fire affinity feels so different to Draco's nurturing of all things earthly until you see how necessary they are to one another, elements and people both. It's so wonderful to see this Draco, allowed to at last gentle into their true identity. Love the descriptions of her tending to both her appearance and the garden. This held something of a fairy tale in it for me, with the ethereal space of the magic garden and the lessons it had to teach. Also, the bowtruckles!! Underappreciated magical creature, and I really enjoyed how you used them here; it felt like they heralded the arrival of that new/old joy of nature and magic working in tandem. Plus, I am forever in love with the changes that 8th year fics allow writers to explore, and this shows exactly why! gorgeous
