Summary: Draco is a high-end prostitute who hides his identity. Harry unknowingly hires him. And then there is porn, questions about identity, domestic bliss, more porn, and truth as seen through a web of lies. (And then more porn. Seriously, if you don’t want sex scene after sex scene you probably shouldn’t read this. And please read the warnings.)
Content/Warning(s): dub-con, D/s elements but the dynamic shifts back and forth (not formalised), prostitution (and please, read more at post in the fic).

Well! ^^ The summary pretty much tells you what this story is about.

Draco is a high-end escort and yes, Harry unknowingly hires him. You see, the thing is, Draco has created a potion that, unlike Polyjuice, doesn't turn him into someone else, it rather modifies his features just enough to make him different, and once Harry starts taking Draco to places (usually Ministry or private events), well, it's obvious he's interested, and then he's obviously more than interested when he asks Draco (Tristan as the guy who Draco 'turns' into is called) to spend a month with him. And yes, at first Draco does it for revenge, he wants Draco to love Tristan, and then Draco would reveal himself. Only it never happens, because while Draco might deny it, he starts having feelings for Draco.

Eventually Harry discovers the ruse, but by then Draco admits he loves Harry, but Harry, well, he's hurt and upset and more than that, he's bloody furious, but Draco's going to try to win him back (Hermione is awesome btw). There's a lot to be said, a lot of things happen, but I don't want to spoil it.

Just now this story is incredibly intense and raw and it's filled with feelings and self-discoveries. It's an emotional rollercoaster. And it's hot too. There's so much dirty talking, so much, there's sex and it's hot and intense and rough and filthy but also loving at times, and I know it comes with a lot of warnings (mind those, by the way), but it's the story is awesome.

Seconding all the way.

That was stunning. It was so stunning. I was dry-sobbing by the end of it, all my favourite kinks in a story that wasn't even for me -- only it was because I was reading it and just... just. OMG.

I loved this fic omg! Like, I found some of it hard to read, because of how Draco described Harry, and even though I knew it was just Draco's (twisted) opinion, it still really grated me seeing Harry portrayed like that. But God, the writing, it was just fucking sublime, every moment of it was beautiful!

There are things about this that tempt me a lot and things which hint that I should stay away. Could you tell me, behind a spoiler cut or in a pm, how the non-con dynamic works? Meaning is it Harry ignoring Draco's consent, the opposite, or something entirely different?

Is Harry portrayed respectfully and with love? Or is it a fic in which he's "taught a lesson about Slytherins"?

Thank you. ♥
