oh no

[ draco hasn't slept well since the war. he slept better with astoria by his side, for years, but losing her had brought back every bad night, every nightmare, and left him looking restless and sleepless as he had before they'd gotten married. having her warmth againt him is so natural that he just sleeps soundly as he had before she'd passed, even in this alternate timeline that he'd found to be just as harrowing as the war (only in different ways).

movement makes him stir, the presence above him; his head tips up into the touch before he hears astoria's voice and his eyes open slowly. he has this dream often and it's so fleeting that he wants to make sure he doesn't ruin it. ] Astoria.

[ but something is wrong. she's too young - not the age she should be. she's so young they may a well be newlyweds, or simply taking care of a very young son, not one careening toward adulthood.

no, it's this place. it's this place and astoria is here which means draco is awake and suddenly he's half sitting up, resting on one elbow with the other hand cupping her face. ] Astoria?

Darling, it's really you.

OH YE

( it's is something she notices, it's in the lines of his face, the fact that he hasn't been sleeping. it's a familiar look, or it used to be a familiar look, back before they were inseparable. things had gotten better, little by little – to see the dark shadows back has her heart aching for him. )

Love, are you ––

( the option is creeping in, of course. his surprise at seeing her, how he cups her face like he can't quite believe she isn't a figment of some dream. it's battling her own idea, strange in a different way, but a little less immediately scary: after all, if it happened overnight, it can be fixed just as quickly. )

Are you feeling quite well?

( she gives a reassuring smile, and reaches up to run a thumb across his cheek, before burying her hand in his hair. she has half a mind to kiss him, but she does think those mysteriously added decades should possibly be addressed first. )
