Summary
Bitten at sixteen and bonded to Potter at nineteen as a last-ditch effort by the Order to save the Saviour from himself, Draco had come to terms with the cold reality of their arrangement. Potter needed a mate and Draco needed his mother free from Azkaban. Neither of them needed anything else. Not affection, or friendship, or love, no matter how tempting.
And for many years, it works. Draco lives in England. Potter does not.
But at twenty-nine, Draco becomes London’s newest Alpha and long overdue decisions need to be made. He’s not too worried, though. Getting Potter to agree to dissolving a bond he never wanted shouldn’t be too hard.
Should it?

Summary
Another world, like what? Someplace far away, Harry thinks, where none of it ever happened? There, he and Malfoy were simple childhood rivals, or maybe even friends, flying brooms through a clear blue sky and clouds singing with sunlight.
Another world.
Harry’s running: away from the grief, from expectation, from Ron’s rage and Hermione’s helpfulness and Malfoy’s stupid dead dragon egg. If he runs far enough, fast enough, long enough, surely he’ll find where he's meant to be.

Summary
In the aftermath of the Second Wizarding War, Draco Malfoy's life went from bad to worse. Six years later, he finds himself alone and with little reason to carry on. A chance midnight encounter with Harry Potter in the Curse-Breaker wing of Gringotts, however, gives him a reason.
A story of friendship, rebuilding, and too many cups of tea.
