I'm usually not one to like reading cross-gen fics, but I have to say, this one surprised me with its beauty. You managed to capture the essence of first love (it's immaturity coupled with its innocence) through Scorpius' eyes, painted a very realistic picture of first time gay coupling (something too many slash fics get wrong as they romanticize it), spun a Harry that was perfectly in-character (willing to do the most painful things because it's the right course of action, no matter the cost to himself), and created a plot device that was rather ingenious to making it all come together.

The way you expertly wove the first person narrative, I truly connected with Scorpius. I found it brilliant, too, that you made him incredibly effeminate (not just his looks, but the way he loved getting a back rub from Rose, crawing into Rose's bed, sharing all his deepest secrets with Rose). The bits with Flint and James being attracted to him when they didn't really want to be served as an excellent set-up for Harry's similar attraction. That he and Albus had a contentious relationship from the start was a wonderful compare-contrast between father and son.

Overall, I was impressed with the quality of this fic. It was cleverly plotted and paced, emotionally provocative, and I believed it. WELL DONE!
