Summary: Six months post-war, Harry meets Grayson Wenke, a famous Quidditch player. Harry believes he's found the love of his life, and a Happily Ever After ending suitable for the storybooks. When Grayson slowly goes from Prince Charming to a monster behind closed doors, Harry finds himself trapped, and alone, and fearing for his life. When Harry realizes he's pregnant, the opportunity for escape - and a real Happily Ever After - presents itself as none other than Draco Malfoy. The only question is if Harry is brave enough to take a chance, and strong enough to heal.

God, this fic is so incredibly emotional. It's about Harry, after the war feeling a bit lost, and finding "love." At first everything seems perfect, that he's found the perfect, loving partner, someone to love, who loves him, someone he can make a life with. But eventually all these illusions are broken, because Grayson Wenke, Harry's partner, shows his true self. Harry is subjected to all sorts of abuse and violations; physical, mental, verbal, unspeakable things Grayson does to him until Harry is nothing but filled with fear. And we can see that, how everything Harry is, is slowly chipped away until there's nothing but a ghost who lives to be someone's punching bag. It's so emotional, so heart-breaking, how alone he feels.
Eventually Harry learns he's pregnant, but Grayson wants to show the illusion of them being the perfect family, so he signs up a contract for a book with the Prophet, and the writer who'll document their life is one Draco Malfoy, who, thankfully sees more than Grayson wants to show, and is determined to help Harry.
There are strong warnings in this story, and are not to be taken lightly, because everything Harry goes through is truly terrible, but if you read it, go through all this with Harry, you'll see there's hope and the possibility of the happiest ending with someone who truly loves him and values him. :)
