I have a rec for all of you angsty, hurt fans! I don't usually read stuff that's going to tear my heart out, but sometimes I get in the mood. And when I do, there's always some excellent fic to fill that need. This fic is amazing! I kid you not!

Warnings: *highlight to read* * internalised homophobia, self-hate, infidelity, angst, self-punishment, self-denial, non-linear timeline, shifting POV*
Summary: Draco has been raised to believe homosexuality is a sin. When he encounters an out and proud Harry Potter, his world turns upside down. He is forced to question his beliefs, his values and himself.
Why I loved it: OMG, where do I start? First of all, writcraft, you need to change your name to wordcraft! Absolutely gorgeous! This begins with Draco in the 2nd person pov and while that isn't my favorite pov, it's exactly what is needed here. The pov changes and the fic isn't quite perfectly linear, but it's perfectly easy to follow. Don't let the 2nd person keep you away, or the hurt and angst, for that matter. This fic is one of the most beautifully written fics I've read. It reads almost like poetry. I just want to sit down and read it again. And again, and again.
“That I like to get fucked like a girl? I’m not even sure I know what that means or why you say it like it’s a bad thing.” I love this quote! Referring to bottoming as getting 'fucked like a girl' is one of my pet peeves. But Harry is so beautifully out and proud! He takes the perfect attitude and I love this Harry so much!
“Not really.” Potter’s brow furrowed. “I like to get fucked by other men. Like a gay man.” Perfect! And the whole conversation to follow is brilliant! So much love for this fic!
