    Summary

    Harry Potter doesn't know what comes after saving the world.

    Two years after the war, he's living the life everyone expected him to have—working as an Auror, surrounded by people who care about him, quietly carrying on.

    It should be enough. It has to be enough.

    When Draco Malfoy crosses his path again, Harry finds himself inexplicably fascinated by someone who appears to have done the impossible: moved on.

    Except appearances have a habit of lying.

    Healing isn’t linear, it’s certainly not graceful. Sometimes it looks like setbacks, arguments, and ugly truths. And sometimes the hardest person to save is the one who keeps trying to save everyone else.
