Title: The Picking Up Pieces Series
Author:
Tessa Crowley
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 44,000 approx. (adding both parts)
Summary: A duology comprising of "The Unbearable Burden of Caring", wherein Draco and Harry meet again fifteen years after the War (though neither of them are quite aware of it at the time), and the not-really-planned-for sequel "Sins and Scars and Shattered Things", wherein they have to deal with the media fallout of their relationship.
This is a beautiful series, both parts are incredibly touching.
In the first part Harry and Draco meet, only they don't know it's each other. They meet at a Masque Ball at the ministry, but you see, Draco suffers of social anxiety, he can't bear to be around many people, or new people, however, despite this he feels a connection with Harry, eventually though his anxiety gets the better of him and he runs, but they start corresponding. Draco is a writer and though he uses a pen name Harry manages to send him a letter, but then when Draco realises it's Harry, well, he feels his world shattering, and on top of this, his life is exposed by the Prophet (that Rita!) who outs him as this famous novelist.
In the sequel Harry and Draco have been together for a while, blissfully happy, but now that Draco's gone public there are people who wants him to pay for his crimes during the war, and send him to Azkaban, and while that might sound dramatic, agnsty even, you have no idea how heart breaking and touching it is.
And god, is it ever! It's poignant and intense, but at the same time it's beautiful and amazing.
