Great story, like always.
Actually I first feared that this was some kind of spin-off of 'Will you be my daddy'. The first few paragraphs were so... mhhh... their characters as you depicted them there as well. When you added more information on the background, I recognized that it was a One Shot on its own. And quite a sad one, too.
I understood Harry's trouble from the beginning and Teddy's behavior made me just as mad as it made Draco furious. I know it pained him to see what his godfather did, but this didn't make him into another person. Harry did not deserve this.
I liked your story, don't get me wrong! But I am not sure whether this end really is a good ending. To me, it's somewhat sad, still. Harry lost so many years, has sacrificed so much on Teddy. Now he's old for a prostitute, still has no real degree. His friends turned away from him. Even if Teddy seeks contact to him, they'll never be family like in the past.
In hospital, Harry seemed burned out - and he probably is. I am not sure whether there can be some sort of happy end for him. If Draco wasn't by his side - or hadn't cared for him, he probably would be even more broken. But he seems damaged to me.
I feel as if this story is somewhat not complete. I wish with all my heart that Harry will recover and have a good future - but I also know that this is not realistic. I can't see a happy end for him. It's as if... Teddy's too late.
Maybe that's why the story hits me that hard.
It was a nice read.

What a heartbreaking story, with a nice, hopeful ending. Very well written. I felt like giving Draco a round of applause when he slapped some sense into Teddy and set the record straight.
