I remember when this fic started posting, and I adore asnowyowl's writing, but it was a WIP at the time and I promised myself I'd read it when it was done. Then I forgot. :/
But Friday nolagal wrote a great rec for it on crack_broom and I was like: d00d! I'm so in the mood for just that. And I printed it and read the entire thing in one sitting. My poor arse was numb by the end of it but *FLAILS* it was sooooo good.

It's a non-magical AU - a long hot summer in the USA, with baseball and graduation parties and going to theme parks and teenage first-time fumblings. I forgot all about my driveway that needs shovelling! Al and Scorpius (Corey) are completely endearing. Harry is still Harry, George is totally George and Ginny stole. my. heart. The cast of characters are all there and well rounded and interesting. It is light and funny and sexy and compelling.

I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday than to curl up with this fic for a first, second or third read. :DDDD

*points to icon* Totally Corey, y/y?
