Word Count: 23,000 Approx.
Summary: Realizing he's gay is one thing. This unholy mess with Malfoy is something else entirely.
In which Harry tries to negotiate the path from self-loathing to some sort of happiness, and in the process learns that Malfoy runs a shop, reads Muggle philosophy, and is a dirty rotten liar.
Well, that last one isn't really a surprise.
Content/Warning(s): Rough Sex, Mildly Dubious Consent, Heavy BDSM, Bad BDSM Etiquette (see more at post)
This fic, man, this fic is a journey, really. It starts when Harry, while being drunk, literally runs into Draco, and they fight, violently, only they also have sex while they are fighting (or Harry's fighting Draco, really). Confused and ashamed Harry leaves Draco, but then Draco comes looking for Harry so it can happen again.
It's a bit the wrong way to have BDSM sex, actually, because Harry is full of shame about this thing he's doing with Draco, yet he can't help it, and he's kind of terrible, really (really bad BDSM etiquette), but once he accepts and tries to learn, he just - he does it the wrong way. But it's more than that, because there are feelings, Harry start facing those feelings for Draco, and we also learn the way Draco feels for Harry.
It's amazing, I'm not going to lie, a bit frustrating at times (because, Harry! - you'll see what I mean :D), but seeing them coming together, and that ending, man, it's so, so worth it. A journey indeed.
