if the fic is 57 chapters long, it should be counted

Sort-of epilogue compliant.
Harry did marry Ginny and they had their three kids. Draco did marry Astoria and they had Scorpius. Both marriages are over by the start of the fic (the fic opens in Ginny's solicitor's office with him pronouncing Harry and Ginny officially divorced).
James, Albus and Scorpius are attending Hogwarts, and Harry goes to watch one of Albus's Quidditch games. Albus hates the attention Harry gets, so Harry's hiding in his invisibility cloak under the stands. Harry is therefore perfectly positioned to rescue Scorpius when he falls from his broom.
Draco declares it's a Malfoy tradition not to enter the 13th year with a life-debt hanging over one, so he takes it upon himself to fulfill the debt. And discovers that the most difficult thing about it is finding something Harry will accept as payment.
A lot of this was more about Harry's relationships with Ginny (now his ex-wife) and his three kids than it was about Harry and Draco. But the premise was still entertaining enough to keep my attention through this long fic.
Some Favorite Quotes:
When the invitation had burned to fine, grey ash, Harry tucked it into the envelope and wrote a short note to Malfoy. Enclosed please find what I think of your effort to send me to therapy.
"if you have the perfect rearranger. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized only one person fits that criteria." He smiled glintingly at Harry. "Me."
It matters a lot more if I'm proud of myself.
"Should have known that you would stick to the letter of the rules and not the spirit." Harry muttered, then wondered if he'd gone too far.
Malfoy merely smiled. "You forgot you were dealing with a Slytherin?"
Draco really did look softer, handsomer, more pleased, more smiling, than Malfoy ever did.
"I want to be civil. I can't be honest."
"But because the war is over, you have your own choices. That's part of what I fought for."
