This was wonderfully angsty and heartfelt! Even more so, with the way you handled the whole infidelity and forgiveness theme. They were both handled beautifully. I love the delicate way you addressed Draco's infidelity. I love that you make Draco so human, so uncertain, so torn between what felt familiar and safe with an ex and what felt new and electrifying (to the point of being scary) with his new husband. And that ultimately makes the infidelity forgivable - not easily forgivable because it was hurtful, but in the end, worth forgiving all the same. I love the way you let us see Harry, feel his emotions (his love for Draco, his pain at having his beloved betray him, his incredible capacity for compassion, his ability to forgive and ultimately the quiet strength in everything he does) and fall irrevocably in love with him through Draco's eyes. You've managed to let Harry say and emote so much without really saying it. Most of all I love that to get to the "happily ever part", there needs to be a realistic amount of work in Harry and Draco's relationship to actually make it work.

Reading this was truly an emotional ride and I love every bit of i :D
