    Summary

    What happens when you’re forced to become the very thing you despise?

    Ex-Auror Harry Potter, tossed out of the Ministry for something he had no control over, has been looking for a way back to his former life. When he comes across Draco Malfoy in the criminal underbelly of Wizarding London and in need of protection, Harry figures bringing him in to face the Ministry's justice is his ticket back to everything he's lost.

    But nothing is exactly as it seems. Not even Harry himself. And as he gets drawn further and further into Malfoy's world of honour and deception he finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew—about his childhood nemesis, the Ministry job he misses so much, and most of all, about himself.

    What happens when you’re forced to see that you were wrong?

    Summary

    My dearest Harry, because no matter how far we are, even two different worlds apart, I can never tell where you end and I start.

    Draco never expected Potter to find his way back to his life, especially after seven years of no contact, but here he was. With Potter's will in his hands, his own name written in that untidy scribble he recognized anywhere, Draco had to accept this was his time to reopen an old wound, revisit painful memories, and relearn everything he thought he knew about his past.

    Summary

    The Winter Soldier thrashed, drowning. It was taking forever. His mask seemed to be stuck. He pulled on it, struggling to draw breath, sinking and resurfacing, clawing at his face, the panic in his eyes terrible.

    Steve's would-be killer. The very worst HYDRA had ever conjured. A symbol of death and everything he stood against. And Steve just couldn't bear it. He was ready to go, but this guy clearly wasn't.

    ----------------------------------------
    The premise: the Winter Soldier's mask doesn't come off quite as easily. Meaning, Steve never saw Bucky's face, and he didn't hold back during the fight on the Helicarrier. This is where the story picks up and is no longer canon-compliant. Though, I've stolen some ideas from the sequels and deliberately contradicted some future plot points/established canon.

    Summary

    Reaching out, Hermione wrapped her warm, soft hand around Harry's clammy one. “I’m sorry for pushing. I—we—only want to see you happy.”

    “I’m perfectly happy.”

    She scoffed and looked at him sternly even as she rubbed her thumb soothingly over the back of his hand. “Don’t lie to me, we both know that’s not true.”

    ---

    In the years following the end of the war, Harry has been depressed, lonely, stuck in a job he hates, and has actively avoided even thinking about his attraction to men. He's mortified when he begrudgingly visits a mind healer and discovers that it's his childhood nemesis.
