Black Coffee on a Lonely Night by Femme (femmequixotic) at AO3 [Harry/Draco (non-magical!AU) - 22k]

Draco is playing cricket for England, but when Astoria dies in a car-crash he gives up his career to take care of Scorpius.
I love the setting and the characterisations. This fic takes it's time, sets the characters we know into a world we know, and yet it's all so new and different, that it made me look at them as if I saw them for the first time. Especially Goyle's characterisation is fresh and surprising, yet fitting. And then there's MP Harry Potter, who deals with falling in love with a single-dad so well. ^-^
