Summary
Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Boy dates girl. Boy marries girl. Fin.
In 90s New York, when the word 'gay' is an insult and your sexuality puts a target on your head, the story isn't as easy as that for Joey Tribbiani. All he wants to do most days is crawl out of his skin and find a place to hide. It doesn't help that his parents condemn homosexuality to hell. It doesn't help that he still doesn't know who he is. It doesn't help that he might be completely gone for his best friend. It certainly doesn't help that he now has to pretend-date said best friend.
It's messy, and complicated, and has way, way more heartbreak than 'boy meets girl'. And this, this is his story.

Summary
Ten years after the war, Harry is working in his small Quidditch Supplies and Broom Repair shop, suddenly surprised at how fast the years have gone by. Struggling with the fact that people are still only interested in him for being Harry Potter, he settles into a quiet and comfortable life in his home and a job he loves. However, one day, a little boy who looks like he could be a miniature version of Malfoy, walks into his shop with Pansy Parkinson. Harry is immediately captivated by the little boy who seems to know all about him, and couldn’t have foreseen or imagined the way his life would change when that little boy returns asking him for help.
