Summary: I can’t help but wonder if Potter’s really as fine as he claims to be. There’s something strange about seeing the vanilla hero of the wizarding world eye-fucking someone across a crowded bar before slipping off into the shadows - Draco Malfoy escapes to the Muggle world to avoid his parents, memories of the war and Harry Potter. However, some things prove harder to escape than others as Draco realises when his favourite Muggle haunt is rudely invaded by a post-war Harry who is struggling to cope with grief, growing up and the battle with his inner demons.
Content/Warning(s): Mentions of using sex and drugs as a coping mechanism

This story is just amazing. God. As the summary says, after the war Draco escapes to the Muggle world. He finds a place where, well, it's not that he "fits", but it's a place where no one cares about his past, where no one looks at him with scorn, where he can lose himself and be anyone or no one.

However, everything changes when Harry start showing to the same club Draco is used to going. And Harry is so different than Draco expected. He looks free, untroubled. But nothing is as simple as that, because Harry in his own way, he's running away, too, hiding from his own problems and grief, and eager to lose himself.

Only they find each other, they talk, and whatever misconception they have of the other, once they start knowing, really knowing each other, they realise maybe they are not so different after all and maybe together, they can heal and move on.

Trust me, it's gorgeous, the way Draco reacts to Harry, the way he starts wanting him and Harry Draco, is incredible. It's intense and sexy, and yeah, it's hard at times, making yourself vulnerable but God, it's gorgeous to see it happening. I'm telling you, amazing.

I'm using the 'drug use/addictions' tag, but it's as the author's warnings say, sex and drugs are used as a coping mechanism, this is not an addiction story, I'm just being cautious. ^^
