Summary: Draco Malfoy has just had his fortieth birthday, is currently editor of a soft porn gay men’s magazine published in the U.S., is the author of a no-holds-barred tell all of his life as a former rentboy, and is perfectly happy. Uh, not really perfectly happy, because we wouldn’t have much of a story, now would we? Enter one Harry Potter.
Content/Warning(s): Mention of past escort!Draco.

These two stories are sequel to Lettered (recced here).

After Lettered we don't quite know what happened, what was the choice Draco made. This is when we start to find out. Draco went to exile, and has been living abroad for twenty-two years. Hasn't seen Harry or heard anything about him. He started a new life. He was a high-class escort for a while, but now he's living in New York, and is editor of a successful gay magazine which is going to start publishing a UK version and he'll fly to London for the launch.

Soon after the announcement of Lush for the UK, he starts receiving emails from an anonymous person asking for advice, because he only just saw the man he loved and left him many years ago. Here we see them trying to figure out, re-knowing each other and see if what they had so long ago can work, learning what has happened with each other's lives after all these years. They are still madly in love, but there's so much between them, is love enough for them to get past their past?

Home Again, Home Again, is a little more dramatic in the sense that Harry was kidnaped, and we see all Draco goes through trying to find who did it and trying to find Harry, but at the same time we learn how their relationship has been so far, the ups and downs, the difficulties they've gone through to make their relationship work.

They are both amazing. When I started reading Lettered (I read all these in two days), I didn't even know it came with two 20K sequels, but the writing, the stories, everything, kept me glued to me seat, loving every word and wanting very badly for them to work. The characterisations are that amazing. God.

Though the sex scene is bottom!Draco, switching is implied.

Note: There's a podfic for the story "Lush Life" read by [livejournal.com profile] raitala, which is absolutely amazing. If you want to listen to it, here's [livejournal.com profile] raitala's Podcast Page where you can find all the stories she's read. And here's Lush Life part 1 & 2. Enjoy!
