Harry,

May I call you Harry? Potter sounds like the past, and I’d like to let go of a lot of that.

I’m writing because we’ve never been very successful at talking, have we?

Rivals. That‘s what we were for so long that I can hardly believe we aren’t anymore. What should I call you then? Saviour is a bit over the top, even if you did save my life. Okay, okay ... twice. Thanks for that, by the way.

I wanted to call you friend years ago, but … never mind. I suppose acquaintance will have to do.

Draco.

---

Draco,

Yes, call me Harry. It’s my name, after all. I already started thinking of you as Draco since that night on the Astronomy Tower.

No, I’m not throwing that in your face. I wanted to tell you that I was there - under my invisibility cloak. I heard everything, saw everything.

You made some bad decisions, but they’re in the past. I agree that we should leave a lot of it behind. I fear that we might all go mad if we don’t.

What should you call us? I think we might be able to be friends someday.

Harry.

I do hope you'll continue to write these. I love the idea.

Yup - that's the plan. Two letters each time. And thanks - glad you like.

I sooo can't wait to see how this develops!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Me too!

Lovely start!
I can't tell you how happy I am every day when I see you've posted something new. I enjoy your fics so much.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. *blushes* - you are so sweet!

Ooohh ... did you see? I wrote a PWP! I'm so impressed with myself (not that it's great ... I mean, it's not like I could write jae-hot fics, but new ground, and all that). Yay! *\o/*

Ooh ... and it's wall!sex. Hmmm ... fav of yours? ;)

Ooh, a correspondence series. *intrigued*

I'm glad the boys are deciding to take a rationale approach and talk. :)

I'm not nearly as good at talking face-to-face with people when emotions run high, so writing letters always intrigues me. We'll see where it leads.

Okay, I came to find the PWP and found this instead! I really like it. I love correspondence fics, but they're almost always Hogwarts years. This is nice!

Thanks. I thought it would be a gradual way to work through all their "stuff" before they try actually talking. ;)
