A/N: Welcome Back, Dear Readers! If you are new to the crazy twisted world of TinkerVine le Fey, welcome.
Warnings: loathfully plotty smut as well as coarse language. The characters all have emotional trauma they will be working through, but no violence this time. They - and I - need a break from the carnage.
If you haven't read "The Thing With Wings" yet, I would encourage you to do so, as this is a sequel. If you are the daring sort who likes to throw caution to the wind (see what I did there? *wink*) the TLDR is Draco and Luna survived the war and are now looking forward to a brand new life together with friends and family.
This one picks up right where "Wings" left off. Draco is mostly healed from the trauma of the war, Luna is saddled with the bureaucracy trying to keep her down, and Hermione is struggling with an Atlas complex as she tries to navigate her relationship with Harry and being a first-time mom. We are working up to a triad end game with our favourite LunarDragon ship + Hermione, and I am not one to burn anything slowly. Don't worry, dear readers, Harry will be fine. Everything will be okay, okay? Promise.
We are out of lines in the poem Caged Bird by Maya Angelou aside from the title of this fic (from the line "And he names the sky his own"), but let's keep the metaphor going, yes? I'll pick some song titles and quotes and things to name the chapters this time.
Fluff and healing are new endeavours in my writing journey. As always, constructive criticism and reviews of any length are appreciated.
Also, if you like this story, I would ask that you consider sharing it with other people who might like it. No one is out there searching for a Hermione x Draco x Luna triad, so word of mouth will give more people the chance to read it. Your support, as always, means the world to me.
If you're ready for some aw as our characters pick up the shattered pieces of their world: Get your heart eyes ready, here we go!
As always, Enjoy!
Vine
