I really, really wanted to enjoy this fic. I did. The first couple of chapters were promising and Harry/Luna is my OTP. But every chapter added more really contrived elements and endless fanon cliches to the mix, to the point where they overwhelmed the actual story.
I didn't much care for this story's idiot!Dumbledore, either, but it's minor enough that he can be safely ignored.
Cliche piled upon cliche
