Endgame - A Drarry Fanfic (Harry Potter x Draco Malfoy)
After being married for 20 years, Harry Potter finally admits to Ginny and himself what he's always sort of known: he's gay. He starts to see Draco in a different light, but nothing is ever easy for 'The Boy Who Lived': the war has left him scarred. Harry's name is all over the news again as people try to figure out why he and Ginny divorced. He doesn't know how to tell his children that he's gay and ends up distancing himself from them. He places his trust in Draco, but will that turn out to be a mistake? Takes place after all the books and Cursed Child (only a few small things have changed like some side couples and Hermione didn't become Minister). Spoilers for all 7 books. TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, PTSD, suicide (these warnings are labeled at the beginning of chapters), (some) profanity and sexual content (PG-13).
