Summary: Luciano Grimaldi was a perfectly happy young wizard. His family carefully neutral during the war, he has found happiness in the years since Voldemort's fall with herbologist, hero, and friend of the Savior, Neville Longbottom. Only he's just been informed that in the tradition of ancient pure blood families, he was promised at birth, in an offering to keep his family safe, to the son of infamous American Death Eater Winston Mayer.
Noah Mayer is a very unhappy wizard. In love for years with fellow Death Eater Draco Malfoy, the two young men have secretly found solace and love in each others arms, dreading the day they knew would come. They are promised, in the traditions of the oldest families. Promised to young wizards who didn't know. Married, for all intents and purposes, almost at birth to strangers who will doubtless hate them. Now they must surrender to duty and obligation. Now they must turn their backs on a love they know and risk everything for what might be. Noah always knew he hated pure blood traditions. This was why.
Author's Notes: I entered this project with a clear idea of writing a Drarry where I replaced Draco with Luke and Harry with Noah, and threw in Reid as a replacement for Snape for good measure. That's not at all what I wrote. Instead I ended up combining the universes and running the ongoing Drarry and Nuke pairings in parallel. It is, I know, very long, for which I freely blame Nic, who taunted me that I would need to write 100K words for it to be a challenge. I have written two side stories based on the larger story written here for the big bang. I'd have included them as epilogues, but it is almost entirely HP characters, and both are over 50K words besides. I may post links to them at the end, when I'm done. Dani: for all your hours spent reading and coaxing and telling me when I'd stepped over a line, thank you. Laura: the banners you made are beautiful. Everyone: I do, of course, love comments.
Link to Story Master Post: Yeah, it's a LOT of chapters. Worth it though, I hope!
