Summary: When they first meet after the end of the war, Draco doesn't want anything to do with Harry. But as time goes by, Draco's growing love may be the only thing that can save them both, because after a serious accident in the Forbidden Forest, Draco's personality begins to undergo subtle changes. At first, Harry credits this to a new enthusiasm for life. But as the days pass and Draco's behavior becomes more and more mysterious, Harry begins to suspect that something bigger--and darker--is at work.
Content/Warning(s): Mental Health Issues, violence, some elements of horror.
This story, kind of tells two stories at once. It's starts with an accident in which Draco nearly dies. We see Harry suffering, seeing his lover of two years seizing and convulsing without being able to do a thing. But miraculously Draco survives, only, it's not that simple; something claimed him, a Creature is in control of his body and now he's not really himself. He now only lives in a small part of his mind, and he'll do anything to protect Harry because he soon realises this creature that lives in him has no mercy.
At the same time, we see how Harry and Draco met for the first time six years after the war when Draco, Potions Expert gives the Auror Department a lecture. Harry's reactions when he sees him, God, those are gorgeous. You see, Harry is obsessed, and not in the usual way, he's determined to find out what Draco is up to, but Draco is not up to anything. Draco's just Draco, he has issues, social anxiety and once Harry starts seeing this different part of Draco, well, he can't help himself. He wants. And this is how we see the beginning of their relationship.
It's amazing, those first weeks of Harry being absolutely obsessed with Draco are awesome, see this thing they start having become something else, how they built their relationship. And at the same time we see and live Draco's anguish at not having control of his body, at trying to fight the Creature without putting Harry in danger, hoping Harry will realise this Draco is not really him, the ending, after everything they've gone through, worth it.
Also, this story is mainly bottom!Draco. There's some switching though! ^^
