Summary: Harry rescues Draco Malfoy from Azkaban, where he has been imprisoned for three years after the war. Draco is not as Harry remembers, as Azkaban leaves its mark on even the strongest of wizards. With no memory of who he was or how he came to be in Harry's care, Draco needs Harry's help if he is to have any hope of making a full recovery. But Harry has his own demons to fight and together with saving Draco, Harry must also discover a way to find himself.

This is such a beautiful story. Gosh, it's going to take you in a rollercoaster of emotions.

As the summary says, the story is about Harry saving Draco from Azkaban, who instead of being there the one year he was supposed, he was imprisoned for three years and placed in complete isolation. And from then on, we live with both Harry and Draco the hard road to recovery, because, again, as the summary says, Draco has lost all his memories, he's locked himself in a place in his mind he feels safe, and leaving the comfort of his cell and his routine is traumatising.

In one hand we have Draco trying to cope with these changes, all these little mechanisms that help him (OCDs), and little by little, he start reacting to Harry. And then we have Harry, trying to hard to do well by Draco, to help him, find him treatment, comfort him, and working through his own issues as well -- for Harry is something of a recluse himself, and ultimately falling in love.

And the thing is, them falling in love with each other seems it's happening from the beginning, because they find comfort in each other. It's hard for Harry, because Draco doesn't remember anything, and then it's harder still when Draco finally does.

But don't worry. It's beautiful, it's gorgeous, see them healing together and apart, it's such a beautiful ride, painful at moment, but worth every second.

This story has beautiful illustrations by iwao. Most are safe for work, though there are a couple of steamy one that you're just going to love, but every single one gorgeous and make this story even more beautiful.
