This story has a really special place in my heart.

This fic, to me, it's absolutely canon. Whenever I read an Established Relationship fic, I think this is the beginning, because it shows much it has cost them to get wherever they are.

I believe the start of their relationship wouldn't be easy, it'd be very complicated, and difficult and painful, but they also would see there have something special, something worth fighting for and won't give up on each other.

It's written from Draco's POV, and he carries—just like Harry, the weight of the war on his shoulders. His pride and prejudices are holding him back. And, as the author has said, "Harry's inability to communicate contributes to the problem."

You have to remember, they are young men, trying to find their way in a Post War World, and that road it's bound to be hard.

It might not be everybody's cup of tea (It's kind of heavy on the Angst) but I encourage you to give it a chance. The writing is fabulous, very raw, and it really touches you. The ending is beautiful (Yes, it has a happy ending).

I love this story so much.

It was written Pre Deathly Hallows, but the story easily fits the outcome but for a few very minor details.
