Summary:
Some people think concepts like fate and destiny are romantic, but for Harry Potter, fate has always meant one thing: a swift kick in the arse. Why else would he cross an ocean to New York and enroll in Muggle university only to find Draco Malfoy living two doors down the hall? The universe and its twisted sense of humor can fuck right off.
A story in which two broken boys try to repair themselves halfway across the world. Too bad trauma doesn't care how far you run.
Excerpt:
“This is absolutely perfect. I… I hardly know what to say. I was dreading Christmas this year, and you turned everything around.” Draco set the record and CD down on the couch. He gently plucked his gifts from Harry’s hand and set them aside as well before enveloping Harry in a tight hug.
“You did all this… for me. For us. At first, I thought ‘this is Harry being Harry. Charging in with no plan. He probably didn’t think about any of this or what it might mean. He just ran on instinct like always.’ But that isn’t completely true, is it?” Draco whispered, and this time there was no doubt about how intentionally close his lips were. They brushed against Harry’s ear with every syllable contained in that question. Harry let his worries fall away and pulled Draco even closer, his arms winding around his shoulders.
“Harry…” Draco’s breath wafting over his skin made him shiver, the tiniest moan escaping his lips. “Did you take me here because you… do you — ”
Harry pulled back, clasping Draco’s face in both hands, and kissed him ardently before he had time to talk himself out of it.

“It feels like you’re cheating on me,” Draco said. His voice cracked halfway through the sentence.

from this chapter of the Dwelling on Dreams fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/34078537/chapters/84777934#workskin
Loosely based on the scene where Draco and Emile (an original character in this fic that I love!) talk at a cafe and Emile realizes why Draco wasn't able to let go of Harry...and maybe why he shouldn't let go at all muahah. (I sort of paraphrased this scene in this sketch but this is the vibe of it hehe)

Me: *reading a fanfiction*
Me: ah yes, that was a good new fanfiction
Me: *seeing I have it bookmarked = I read it already in the past*
Me: but-but why don't I remember such a great fanfiction?
This is a gift and a curse in the same time

After a long time stalling, I’ve finally read Dwelling. Also because of this immaculate work of @sits-bound, and @tackytigerfic’s caution encouragement. I may have survived, but not without a crater in my chest made by thousands of shards. Here’s my sloppy attempt to patch that up.
PS. Dear @pl0tty and my irl friends, you’re the OG. Thank you for your insights. ♥︎
