Summary : And he laid on the cold, cold ground, watching the paths of the future unfurling before him like a flower of golden time and brittle death.
Chapter 1 : Of Broken Clocks
And he laid on the cold, cold ground, listening (watching) to the cries of a name (Harry!), a mark (Mr Potter!), a brand (Potter!). The golden sand everything, everywhere, falling on him, in him, breaking and shaking and shifting and molding him into something new (something old).
While his entire world was of sand and of glass not yet made, he remembered. Three hours, bushy hair, demons of broken dreams and shattered souls, saving someone (Black, Sirius, Padfoot, the forgotten dreams of a fey eyed child, Murderer, Godfather), a splintering hourglass…
And he finally Saw (had Seen, Seeing, would See) the world without the blindfold of the warped beliefs of humanity. The golden threads of Time dancing and twisting and singing to him, the reality of Magic (mothersistermasterslavePower) and the overwhelming nature of death because Time was Death and Time was all about loss (of life, of beliefs, of worlds, of all).
Harry Potter was now possibilities, probabilities, could have, should have, will be, had been, golden Time showing him eternity and he was like a spider on her (so very fragile) web.
The brittle and silver strands of their lives (friends, families, enemies…), impossibly weak around him, compared to his golden web (of the future) because Seeing added even more outcomes while reducing some paths to rubble, because Seeing was knowing and knowledge was power.
And Harry Potter became what he should have been, golden threads in his emerald death gaze , hair the color of beginnings and endings , lily-white (death, purity, rebirth) skin and he laughed, brilliants tears (of fallen stars and ended wars) falling down his face (breaking his world).
Because he Was and he will never Have Been anymore.
