Summary: Draco wakes up in a nightmare, caught in the horror that’s haunted him since childhood. Desperate and trying to make sense of all that’s happened, Draco finds the only person who seems to want to give him answers is Potter. But being near Potter holds questions too-ones Draco isn’t sure he wants to ask. Even if it means turning down a way back to solid ground.
Content/Warning(s): Angst, creature!fic, explicit sex, coarse language, mentions of self-harm
I love a good creature fic, like this one. :) This story starts as Draco wakes up in St. Mungo's after he was bitten by a werewolf. And you know, the way it's written, the descriptions of how he feels, how aware he is of every little scent surrounding him, it's quite incredible.
It's written from Draco's POV and it really grips you, through the nightmare he lives knowing, believing he's a monster with nothing but pain and horror ahead of him, he feels his life is over. He suffers.
Harry comes into the story because he works for the Werewolf Support Services, and he tries to help Draco, but that first month, god, you can't know how bad it was for Draco, alone and scared and just ready to give up, and it's just then, when he's truly ready to give up, that Harry come back into the picture to show him that there's still hope.
But oh, I haven't mentioned how Harry's proximity make Draco feel, or awesome Draco's house elf Lottie is, and Teddy, who lives with Harry is. It's incredible. It is angsty, but the ending is so worth it. :)
