Summary: Three months in, Harry is almost certain they are friends. Truth be told they only ever speak on Saturday afternoons, when the meetings occur. It’s part of their truce, maybe. Out here, in the Muggle world, they’re not really Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, nor are they the plethora of things that attach themselves to those names. Or, Harry and Draco go to AA.
Warning(s): alcoholism


I had a lump in my throat all the time while reading this story. I think I might have been swallowing back tears.

Harry and Draco are attending the same AA meeting, and it's incredibly touching.

It's written from Harry's POV, and it explores a side of Harry's character that I find very emotional: the way he was raised—kept, rather, by the Dursleys. This isn't the only issue Harry deals with, nor is the solely reason for the drinking problem he's facing, but it's a big part. I loved how the author handled it.

I loved Harry here, brave in his own way but so very vulnerable, and I loved Draco, he's both snarky yet gentle, hesitating and confident. They are both lovely written.

Ohhh alcoholism is a theme I also like to read, if handled delicately that is. I will read this! I hope I'll come to like it, too.

Oh wow, this was such a brilliant fic! I'm completely in love with Harry's voice here and the profound atmosphere. I always like fics that deal with Harry's terrible childhood, because, in the books, it isn't handled very realistically, in my opinion. Harry is too adjusted in canon. Thanks for the rec!
