Summary: Draco's sure he suffered an irreplaceable loss at the end of the war. Harry's not.


After the war, Draco was attacked. He's left permanently scarred on his face, and in his grief he becomes a recluse in his own home, away from the wizarding world. Until one day Harry Potter makes his way back into Draco's life and teaches him there's a lot to live for.

What I like about this story is its pace. It's very slow. Changes don't happen over night. It's not like Draco is open and one day he's insecure and the next he's all confident. It takes time and patience for him to understand that he can love and be loved in return.
