You know how you can read something and go absolutely mad for it, and obsess over it, and love it with all your heart, and then after a bit of time passes you think back about it and you wonder if it was really that good? Or was it just the hype of a first time read and figuring out what was going to happen? Or the excitement of reading along with a group of people and getting to react and flail and scream with them?

Sometimes I have wondered this about ‘Measure of a Man’. I read it as a WIP, from like the first or second chapter being posted on AO3 and joined one of the first discord server channels for it to flail with others about it. Over a year and half of reading a story from start to finish — and a lot of minute (and some large) details were quite fuzzy by the end — I mean it’s like 600K words and I hardly ever read anything that long. Any story over 200K these days I side eye and put it back on my TBR.

But, helping with the dramatic reading after ‘Measure of a Man’ was completed, researching tidbits of extra thoughts and info from @inadaze22 for the most annotated typeset I’ll ever do, and now as I start my first official full reread — it just totally is worth it all. All the hype, and accolades, and praise, and every little and big flail it has gotten.

Every word — every line of prose — is just utter perfection. I will never stop loving this story and sharing about how amazing it is. I will never ever get over it. ‘Measure of a Man’ will forever be my favorite book ever. I will read this for the rest of my life. This sounds like an exaggeration but it’s not. It’s so good. And that’s not even touching on the fact that the fic and the community Ina (and K @dreamsofdramione ) created in her channel(s) and groups have also brought so much to my life.

I could go on and on, so I just wanted to send another love letter out to Ina for her beautiful self and for ‘Measure of a Man’.

If it doesn't set your soul on fire, it's not worth the burn.

In case you missed it Chapter 27 Summary

“Scorpius, with his pillow and blanket, was sleeping outside of Malfoy’s office.”


Measure of a Man


Chapter Nineteen - Wine & Whiskey


By @inadaze22


I loved this scene soo much *it hurt so good* and it would not leave my mind. This fic is also subconsciously taking over my life. 
Scorpius is my absolute favorite character in this fic.


Shout out to @mignon-chignon & @jaxx-in-a-box for lighting the fire to create again and for recommending this fic.

For @inadaze22

My version of the poster :)

I’m imagining the gray teacup as Draco and the red one as Hermione

In Draco’s cup, the purple flowers are for Narcissa, the pink ones for Astoria and the blue ones as Scorpius’. 

In Hermione’s cup, the gold ones are for Harry, the red for her parents, and the green for Pansy and her garden.

Unpopular opinion

I didn't find moam that great. It was dragging too much, too much angst and depressing tbh. Also how the first kissing scene at pansy's party... snogging i understand but he went all in outside with no self control? Not my cup of tea ☕️

[crookshankscrew]

I am flailing because it is MEASURE OF A MAN FRIDAY!!

This is my plant I got because of MOAM. His name is Scorpius. He’s thriving. I got him in on February 8th.

One of my favorite chapters so far is 12. I live for small, intimate moments between my favorite characters. My next plant I plan to get is a touch me not.

@inadaze22 is one of my favorite Dramione authors. I can’t get enough of this story.

For @inadaze22 ‘s Measure Of A Man

Chapter 1 - The Journey Is The Destination

Not gonna lie, tough theme to make for. 

The path whose end Hermione (and we) cannot see yet, like the pic depicts.

The entire design is based on “Maybe I’ll know where I’m going when I get there.” 

My asks are open, I’ll design just about anything. Like anything.

There are a few constant loves in my life. When I invest my devotion in something (or someone) I am relentless in its longevity. Nick Cave is and has been my favorite Singer/Songwriter/Composer/Performer since I first heard the Tender Prey LP in 1989 on a cassette tape through a boombox positioned on top of the refrigerator during a midnight gathering at the Haight Street apartment affectionately referred to as the "Flop House". I stopped dead in my tracks and have since paid close attention to everything this guy has to say. Measuring the Truth, 2016 assemblage, 24" x 30" x 5" (Sold) "And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I’m yearning To be done with all this measuring of truth. An eye for an eye And a truth for a truth And anyway I told the truth But I’m afraid I told a lie" -THE MERCY SEAT NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS, 1988 #nickcave #badseeds #sickbreathofmyhind #mercyseat #measuringthetruth #eyeforaneye #toothforatooth #truthforatruth #notafraidtodie #faceofjesusinmysoup #truth #measureofaman #devotedfan #inspiredbylyrics #inspiredbymusic #assemblage #assemblageart #assemblageartist #foundobjectart #diannehoffmanart #devotion https://www.instagram.com/p/CZpTN4TpGYt/?utm_medium=tumblr
