Summary: Potter needs control; Draco needs forgiveness. They shag; Lavender gives advice; they yell; Seamus makes muffins; they fight; and everyone else drinks far too much coffee for their own wellbeing.
This story is an emotional ride. I almost don't want to say anything because I'm afraid I'm not going to make it justice.
It starts with Harry having an affair with Draco, and treating him, well, very badly. But as you read, and as the story develops and their relationship changes from just fucking, to stop fucking and being friends, you will begin to understand a bit more where Harry is coming from, why is so hard for him to open up.
I love Draco's protective nature towards Harry, not physically, but emotionally protective, because Harry needs him, he really does. And Draco is there for him, being what Harry needs, even though it hurts him terribly to be just the outlet for Harry.
But, again, as their relationship change, you can see Harry really seeing Draco, this man so different from who he was. And it's beautiful. You're going to fall in love with him—with both of them, Harry and Draco.
It's written from Draco's POV, and the turmoil he's feeling through his insane journey, his fears, his vulnerability and his strength, they are so real. And Harry, too. You'll be able to sympathise with them, with their flaws and qualities that make them so human.
It's a gorgeous story. Instant favourite.
Also, this story is mainly Bottom!Draco, just a bit of switching near the end. (I'm saying that because no romance is complete without that piece of info, yeah? *lol*)
