Summary: Draco never expected to see Harry doing that again. Especially with someone else, in a grainy photograph that's landed on his desk one Monday morning.
Content/Warning(s): Briefly Harry/other

Such an amazing story. Oh my god. Part of me just want to say 'read it!'. :D

Okay. It starts when Draco – editor in chief of the Daily Prophet – get his hands on compromising pictures of Lee Jordan and another man. It's not clear to the public who is this other man, but Draco knows it's Harry. He recognises him, he does because many years ago Harry and Draco had a thing, had something, not just 'a thing', it was important, but when things got serious, too meaningful and serious with Harry, Draco left him. Just walked away.

But now Harry's back into his life, first with these photos, which he ~uses~ to get Harry to go to a charity with him. But it's so, so, so much more than that.

I believe I'm not making this fic justice. You see, Draco is afraid, he's afraid of his feelings for Harry, he's afraid of having everything he wants and for it to be taken from him. But maybe it's time to stop being afraid.

Trust me, it's amazing.

I'm excited about everyone's excitement for this fic!!
I haven't had the time to read it, but just knowing that people I trust taste wise are excited about it makes me look forward to a nice long evening of reading and chocolate (consumed merely to, ahem, stimulate the comprehension ability ;)).

Lol, well. Yes. I still need to leave a proper comment on it and I'm a little afraid of how flaily/capslocky/rambly it's going to be. :D

I loved this story. The feelings Draco were trying to process and finally coming to an acceptance that fear is ok there are things out there worth experiencing was very powerful. Best rec you've had in awhile.

I know, I loved Draco's realisation. I loved that moment when he decided he was going to be afraid, it'd be while getting what he wanted. So much love. :)
