Summary: English real estate developer Draco Malfoy is in America to find his long lost cousin and escape a scandal. When his car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, his trip takes an unexpected turn.
Content/Warning(s): Non Magical AU.

I so love a good Muggle AU, and this fic is amazing and man, it's smoking hot. I mean, Harry is absolutely delicious in every way. The sex is out of this world. I mean it, God.

But let me start at the beginning. ^^ Yes, as the summary says, Draco is in America and yes his car breaks down in a very lone road. But don't worry, someone comes to his aid: Neville Longbottom (who has a knife and kills a snake and is awesome all around), who eventually takes Draco to the local mechanic, who turns to be Harry. And yes, I said it before but, trust me, it bears repeating: he's the hottest thing every written. :D He's sweaty and rough around the edges and sexy and Draco is absolutely taken with him, and more exciting still, it's mutual. The sexual tension!!

Then we find out what Draco is doing in America and who is he looking for and we learn Harry is the person Draco ultimately needs to talk. The plot is excellent. And the sexual tension is even more so. I adore that the sex is good, but you can tell something special is happening between them. It's amazing. I'd love to quote part of the fic for you, but I don't want to ruin the surprise, read it! :D

A good non-magical AU is wonderful! I haven't read - or really seen - a lot of H/D Muggle AUs, and this one sounds very tempting :)

There aren't enough Muggle AUs out there!

And yes, it's tempting - so good! Read it! :D I mean, I think you'll love it. :)

Thank you so much for such a BEAUTIFUL rec and the WONDERFUL comment that you left over on AO3. I'm so glad you liked it! I've been working on this fic for off-and-on over the last year. There were FIVE different endings that I wrote and abandoned before coming up with the one that is the actual ending. I am so glad that you like sexy mechanic!Harry and Draco!!! Thank you so much, honey, all the love and hugs! You've made my weekend!

It's such a gorgeous story, truly. It was a pleasure to read. If you ever write more of them, good god, please, share! <333

Would you like to read some of the deleted scenes? I wrote many scenes that didn't make the final cut and some were very hard to abandon, especially the skinny dipping one. I just shared some of the better ones with Gracerene because she was so lovely with all of her help. If you like to read it, message me your email (no worries if you have too much on your plate :)

It made me think that maybe some slow month there should be a "deleted scene" comment fest where people post their favorite scenes that they have saved in their cut folders, I probably have 200k in my 'didn't make it' files, from all of my various stories, some are lovely but couldn't be fit in.

Ohh! Oh, I'd love to read some deleted scenes! \o/ Please!

I'm at thecapitu at gmail dot com. :)

And you know, this deleted scene comment fest is a GREAT idea. I'll definitely see if it can be done and host it! :D:D:D Unless you wanna, of course. LOL Look at me go all "I'll host it!" I just got excited. But if you do, I'll totally be there reading and making banner to pimp it and everything. :D

I was hoping you'd want to host it! Getting something like that is definitely not my forte :) but I have all sorts of possible scenes to post to such a fest.

I'll send you the scenes from Unexpected Turn!
