Summary: Thirteen years after Draco accepts Potter's help escaping the horror of his sixth year, he returns to England where he makes the unfortunate discovery that Potter is still as obnoxious as ever. And worse, more than a decade overseas hasn't been enough to dim Draco's obsession with him.

This story is fantastic. It's so emotional, it's such a journey. As the summary tells you, it starts with Draco in sixth year, there's a slight canon divergence, because instead of fulfilling the mission Draco was given and fixing the cabinet that leads to Dumbledore dying in the conditions he did, Harry helps Draco escape, but not before Harry and Draco, affected by a Potion, are together for the first time.

Draco leaves via the Porkey Harry gives him, and now, thirteen years later Draco returns, a successful Auror, a brilliant inventor, ready to join the Magical world again. Only he doesn't expect having to work with Harry so close, he doesn't expect wanting Harry as much as he did that first time – Potion or no Potion – and he doesn't expect things to be so different, that Harry is so different and the same in so many ways.

It's brilliant, truly, the characterisations are wonderful, there are so many funny, awesome moments, so many emotions, they way they start to get to know each other better, oh god, the sexual tension. It's written from Draco's POV, and it's perfect. The sex, their jobs, the mysteries to discover. It's, well, yeah, it's amazing. :D

This fic is mainly bottom!Draco, with one switching scene. ^^

This switching scene. Awwww, I'm in awe of that. I wanted to hug my e-reader while reading and was a bit envious of Harry here.

Lovely rec, hon. :D
