Did you even doubt that I would love this? Because if you did, stop immediately. I loved it. Such good heartache. Draco is GORGEOUS here and I really liked the first person, present tense. It works so well - gives it such immediacy.
God, the hurt and humilation of finding out that Harry was only with him like that over the holidays because the Weasleys were gone. How cowardly Harry is about facing Draco with the truth, hiding behind his stupid notes. And then in the gazebo, Harry so beautiful messed up and confused and such an asshole, asking things of Draco on his wedding day, as if Draco's heart isn't already breaking.
But I think this way my favourite part:
Some nights, I would turn over and just stare for hours at the awe-inspiring view of Harry at rest, the pale moonlight filtering through the frost covered windows. I would absorb every detail, from the creases around his eyes to the old scars on his hand: I will not tell lies.
...
Some nights, I would wake up and he would be staring at me instead. I never said a word about the tears in his eyes. I just pulled him towards me and made him forget everything. Everything but me.
