Alcidae's Prompt

Basic outline: Draco's been married to Astoria for two years; they seem like the perfect couple. In fact, Astoria herself believes so. That is, until a certain redhead (an old friend) comes back to Draco's life and everything starts to tremble in Astoria's make-believe world.

Must haves: Astoria, of course, must not be the central gem of this story (It's a DG!), but is, like it or not, part of the triangle. I want a real friendship between the guys (reason why they became apart? You think), full of banter and inside jokes. And neither of them sees each other as potential relationship material until Astoria implies that to Draco. So, basically, the blonde digs her own grave...

No-no's: No fluff. But no angst either.

Rating range: Any.

Bonus points: If you don't mention much about Ginny's family.
