Summary: They’re wizards living in Muggle London, and it is the summer after the Battle of Hogwarts. One held out his hand, and the other grabbed on. They’re just boys, really, trying to find their way out of the rubble.
A story in which Draco and Harry are lost after the war. A story in which they find life in love.
Content/Warning(s): depression, self-destructive behaviour.
This is a beautiful story. As the summary says, Harry and Draco are lost after the war, they meet, they see each other, they connect. But you see, Harry is not in a good place, he carries so much regret and guilt on his shoulder, he can't really see past his grief. He is not in a good place to love, nor to be loved, yet Draco loves him, he loves him so much, and as much has Harry tries to push him away, he also loves Draco.
This fic is non-linear. We see their first time, we see how they met again after the war, the trials, we see where they are now, we see how Harry pushes Draco away. But we also get to see gorgeous insights into their hearts and souls, all those things they aren't saying, but feeling. It's very, very touching, and the ending is just wonderful.
