Summary: Draco has done everything in his power to leave the past behind him. He’s established himself a successful business and built a reputation around the quality of his work and the breadth of his knowledge. But when aurors show up at his shop one afternoon, seeking his expertise on a peculiar item of questionable origins, they completely overthrow the precarious balance in Draco’s life. Trust Potter to bring danger and destruction in his wake, along with a painful reminder of all the things Draco is trying to forget.

This story is amazing. Draco is a jeweller and the story starts when Harry brings Draco a magical ring, a bonding ring, in which the magic is dormant, only, once Harry puts in on (because he had to, yeah?), it bounds Harry and Draco. And let me tell you, there's so much want and tension between them, it's delicious. But it's not just the bond, and Harry knows it, and Draco knows it too, but he tries to fight it.

I'm telling you, their characterisations are brilliant, it's emotional and touching, the plot and the mystery whether who sent Harry the ring and later robbed Draco's shop is intriguing, and did I mention all the sexual tension between them? Because, damn! Read it, you won't regret it! :D

Ooo, I'm intrigued! Bonding!fic may be my favorite trope, and I really loved their smoochfest fic, so this sounds promising! :D

You'll see!!! I hope you like it. Man, I loved this fic. :D

I love bonding fics. I wish there were more of them. Anyway I'm reading this one right now.

Isn't this a wip? I got to the end of chapter 11 and nothing.

Okay, wait. You have an AO3 address, too. Evidently she didn't complete it in her journal.

[capitu]

No, it's complete at her journal, too. I checked! I think the problem is she didn't link the next chapter after the end of chapter 11. I'll change the LJ link to go at the story tag. That way people can see all the chapters there, too. :)

There was no chapter tag for the next chapter. I tried hitting "next," and it went to the next story. Also, it says "wip" on the tags, so if you hadn't had an AO3 link, I would have left it for abandoned (and been really pissed, because I loved it!) I rec'ed it on the storyroom. Thanks for the rec!

ohhh! I didn't notice all that. ^^ But if you follow the title of the fic tag, you can, in fact, see all the chapters, including the 15 with 'complete' in the title and all. I guess she used the wip tag whilst posting the chapters.

I'm so glad you liked it though. I loved it!
