Author's Notes: This fic takes place immediately following OotP. It’s AU in that Sirius didn’t die; otherwise, it’s compliant with OotP canon. Some lines are taken directly from HBP. Many thanks to my always-excellent beta, without whom I would be completely lost at sea.

I absolutely love this fic, so much so that I was late for work this morning. It's not even hard to see why. It's long, it's Sirius/Draco and it's pace is just right. The characterization for Sirius and Draco is faithful and believable as the story progresses and there are never WTF moments. There is a little Snape/Draco shut out that made me smile.

It's set right OotP and as the notes say it's AU since Sirius 'almost' dies, and doesn't go past that summer.

If I had to pick one thing I don't like with the fic, it's the Warning. I'm one of those who believe that this is consent or there isn't, and in this fic, there is. No matter what the situation is that drives Sirius and Draco, they both consent to what happened.

There seem to be lots of good fics at hp_cross_fest. If I have time with work, there'll be more recs.
