This fic is completely amazing. It's part of a Series called Are You Mine? This story is a prequel of both What I'm Waiting to Find and Midnight, which are Teddy/James (meaning, this series is Epilogue Complaint). In those stories, while we see Teddy and James getting together - and let me tell you, those stories are effing gorgeous, if you like Next Gen, you shouldn't miss them! - we also learn that Harry and Draco had a history together, something happened between them after the war, before each married Ginny and Astoria. This is that history.
We get to see Harry and Draco starting a tentative friendship, we see them getting to know each other, we see amazing, brilliant character development, there's so much UST, smoking hot sex (OMG, hung!Harry \o/), we see Harry realising there's a whole new side of him he wasn't aware of, and discovering that with Draco, but of course it's not simple, because Draco has obligations, because there are so many expectation on their shoulders. It's beautiful and hear-aching.
This story is mainly bottom!Harry, but there's a switching scene. YUM!
Also: tagged both ewe and epilogue compliant because while the story is ewe, the end-game is EC.
