Summary
Five years after the war, Draco Malfoy has fought everything and everyone to get to where he is. Sure, his mental health might be shit, but he has a job and that's something, right? He thought that having an Auror drop in for a surprise inspection of his Potions' lab was bad enough, but why is the Auror wearing a glamour? And why is the custom potion he wants so urgent and shrouded in secrecy? When people start dying, Draco gets consulted for a case with none other than Auror bloody Potter. Aka a semi self-indulgent fic where Draco is a very smart, broken, soft boy and Harry is a big bad Auror who actually kind of has his shit together... maybe. Probably not. A lot of people want to cause problems for them. But Harry has a bit of a 'thing' for saving people. And Draco definitely needs saving. But progress isn't linear and it's much easier to heal when you aren't entirely alone. Cross posted on ff.net
Note
I do not own HP or any of its characters, just the idea/plot/this story :)Side note: I have returned from the dead (on here, at least) and hope to be updating this as well as other ongoing stories of mine shortly provided depression does not do what depression does best.
