twisted_miracleI just finished reading a long hd erised fic that I can enthusiastically recommend!
We start in an ordinary canon compliant 6th year, and things quickly change course. This fic is exciting, well-written, and often desperately funny. It is told from Draco's pov, and this Draco is on full display. We learn his insecurities, his fantasies, his weaknesses and his strengths. We watch him watch Harry and be unsure what he's seeing as Harry watches back.
When I got to the end of the first (of 2) chapters, and misunderstood it to be the end, I was in a bit of despair! (So I've linked for you the version that puts both chapters on one page.)

Title: The Light More Beautiful
Author: firethesound
Recipient: lumosed_quill
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 81k
Warnings: [Spoiler (visit fic to view this list)]
Content/Enticements: blowjobs, handjobs, rimming, facials, switching, Auror!fic, clubbing, Quidditch, bad acronyms, bad jokes, ridiculous drinking games, and one exceedingly grumpy owl.
Summary: Thirteen years after Draco accepts Potter's help escaping the horror of his sixth year, he returns to England where he makes the unfortunate discovery that Potter is still as obnoxious as ever. And worse, more than a decade overseas hasn't been enough to dim Draco's obsession with him.
Author's Notes: To those who held my hand as I wrote and offered me endless cheerleading and and insight and reassurance, know that I couldn't have done this without you beside me every step of the way. Each of you is invaluable to me. The sentence Lumosed_Quill gave to describe Harry and Draco was "The light is always more beautiful when it shines through the darkness." And so this is a story told in two parts: first the darkness, and then the light that shines through.
