Summary: “Where are you headed?” - “No place special,” Draco fumbled, and flushed further. But then: “I can change that,” said Harry Potter.
This is an adaptation of Queer as Folk, but I'm going to tell right upfront; I have never seen a single episode of this show in my life.
However, this fic is outstanding on its own! Because it's a story. It's a story about people, their problems and how they face them, these issues they have. The way the war changed them and how they suffered and continue to suffer the consequences, but in such an emotional level. It's a story about growth, too. Because as it develops they have to face changes. Both Harry and Draco; they aren't perfect by a long shot, but in their own way are trying so hard to cope.
Draco's characterisation is beautiful. After this thing, fling, relationship, with Harry started he always knew where he stood with him. He didn't have any delusions, he dreamt and hoped, it's true, but he never became a deluded person living for someone else, which I absolutely loved.
And there's Harry, who for all he is and puts his friends and loved ones through, you will love him, too. You will try to understand him and see beyond what he's trying to show you.
The whole supporting cast is incredible. Ginny, Astoria, Hermione, Ron, Molly! Oh, Molly. No, seriously, all of them are lovely written.
And you know what else? The sex; good God, the sex is steamy, dirty, loving, hot, intense and so much more.
It's a journey, of two young men finding their way in the world, flawed, perfect and confused, but trying.
