This fanfiction does not contain any note-worthy slash scenes; rather, it is the author's challenge to create a reconcilation between Draco and Harry after the war. This idea deserves a rec.

I love this one. It focuses on Snape's insecurities and that even though he tries to keep people out so much, he cares and is willing to let somebody get near him. This tangled mess of emotions, war-related topics and the stark contrast of those lovers... I just love it.
In this pairing category, definitely a classic.
