   Summary

   Draco has been trapped in life so long that freedom always feels just out of reach. With the help of Harry and so many others, he learns how to get a grasp on it and never let it go.

   Featuring the pride of Slytherins, the complexities of Fathers, the weight of a name, and loving the biggest idiot in the world.

   ~~~

   Or, the one where Draco's life hasn't gone as planned for anyone, but maybe that's not such a bad thing. After all, life is full of surprises.
