Summary: Since the rather singular incident of being a Horcrux for many years has left Harry with a sensitivity to Dark magic, Harry begins training with Jacob, a Wizard who lives in New York, using this sensitivity to his advantage to cleanse magical spaces of Dark magic.
After a year of training, Draco Malfoy shows up, wanting to learn from Jacob as well, and unexpectedly the two men grow a bond, both magical and physical. But Jacob’s sudden death leaves Harry floundering and growing increasingly dependent on drugs and sex to avoid his problems.
After his brief and tumultuous affair with Draco ends, Harry begins a life of travel, avoiding returning home permanently and continuing his drug habit. He flits from job to job, from place to place, never settling down for a moment, until, years later, Harry is called back to England by his friends to help Draco find his way out of a cursed Manor.
Content/Warning(s): Drug Use and Addiction, Original character Death, sex under the influence and the dub-con associated with that.
This story, it's just so powerful and angsty and amazing.The summary is going to give you a really good idea what the fic is about.
Harry travels to America to become an apprentice for Cleansing Dark Magic. There he meets Jacob, and you're going to love him, he's truly an amazing character, intriguing and brilliant. Harry, well, Harry has feelings for him. But soon after, Draco arrives to be learn with Jacob (and Harry), too. And man, Harry and Draco's relationship, I mean, they way the related, treat each other, how they are at the beginning is brilliant, and more so once they start this thing. It's more than just 'a thing', it's meaningful, and while Harry still feels something for Jacob, there's no denying what he feels for Draco is powerful, too.
Only, after Jacob dies during a job, Harry spirals out of control, at the beginning he starts doing drugs to cope with the loss and the pain and the guilt, but soon it's clear he has a problem, and eventually Draco can't take it any more. He feels he can't reach Harry and leave. And god, it hurts so good. To see Harry hurting this bad, feeling lonely and lost and unable to face his problem, failing his friends (and work), and ultimately facing all the mistakes he's made.
It's a bit hard to read, I guess, but that's because it's very powerful and real and full of feels, but it's amazing, and trust me, the ending is amazing, too. Harry comes a long way, finds forgiveness in a way, finds a place where he belongs, and Draco is there, and his friends are there. It's an amazing journey, this fic.
