[fic search] He deserves someone better

Hi, I'm looking for recommendation of stories that satisfy the following requirements:
- Draco was in a relationship but for some reasons his partner abandoned him. Can be an abusive relationship, misunderstanding, triggered by other people, infidelity, etc. as long as it was unjustified and left Draco heart-broken.
- After the break-up Draco gradually entered a relationship with someone better than the ex, and by that I really mean someone more deserving. Kudos for protectiveness and details of their courtship, relationship, reactions of other people. Please don't have Draco blindingly jumped into bed with someone right after the break-up, I want to see how he was reluctant at first, seeing that he still had feelings for the ex, but was gradually convinced that he indeed deserved better.
- Seeing Draco with the new boyfriend, Draco's ex MUST feel jealous and guilty for what he did. The more remorse he felt, the happier I will be! Kudos if the ex tried to get Draco back to him, I like seeing people fighting for Draco.
- In the end, no matter what, Draco did NOT return to the ex. I don't care if the ex finally became all nice and sweet in the end, Draco must absolutely not get back to him. Please, for once, I want to see the regret. Too many an instance when I got mad at how after a while Draco reverted back to the person who had forsaken him, he deserved way better than that.
- I have read Sticks and Stones by Desolate03 so please don't re-rec this, but it portrays very well what I'm looking for.

I don't mind if there're OCs and I'm open to all possible pairings as long as it's not het. I don't really have squicks either. I don't mind if the story is long or short but it has to be complete.

Cheers, and pudding for all who rec ^^

this hits a lot of your tags like mpreg, domestic abuse, vulnerable draco, and friends to lovers. story doesn't contain sex though. it's astoria/draco with h/d ending
