Summary: When it falls to Draco to restore his family name to its former glory the road ahead of him is long, but with Harry Potter’s help and a plan that is just this side of ridiculous he just might succeed at accomplishing his goals and getting what he wants. What neither of them plan on is falling in love along the way.
This fic, oh my god, it's epic! It was written for the trope Pretend Couple, and man, pretend dating they do!
It starts when Harry runs into Draco in Diagon Alley and sees first-hand Draco getting hexed and badly treated in this post-war world. They end up having drinks together at the Leaky and eventually they agree to have lunch together. One time becomes two and so on, until they are somewhat friendly.
Draco's been having a hard time, he's been trying to get into the Healer programme at St. Mungo's without success, he can't even get a job, and he has the brilliant idea that if he's seen dating Harry his stance in the Wizarding World would improve, so he asks Harry if he'd pretend to go out with him on a few dates. At first Harry isn't sure if this idea is going to work at all, but give in and they start "dating" only it completely escalates when the pretend dating doesn't make any difference in helping Draco how the public sees him. So then they don't only pretend to date, they pretend to move in together and actually—actually I don't think I should say more because you ought to read it.
It's so much fun, seeing them "pretending" while all the time it's obvious that their feelings for each other are genuine, there's sexual tension and smitten!Harry and, it's wonderful.
