Extruendam Eam

by JayseHasNoGrace

War is difficult and traumatic. People die. People sacrifice. People get back up and put themselves back together when it's over. Harry isn't getting back to normal. He's been through a lot, and he's always been able to make it to the other side, but this was just too much. No matter how hard it is, Harry has to learn to heal at his own pace. He's got to learn to live again.

Written: April 2017 — present

Full Summary:

War is difficult and traumatic. People die. People sacrifice. People get back up and put themselves back together when it's over. Harry isn't putting himself back together. He's been through a lot, and he's always been able to make it to the other side, but this was just too much.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard it is, Harry has to learn to heal at his own pace. There is no escaping the fact that he's participating in life (no matter how weakly at times), and cannot therefore just leave events to run him over. He's got to learn how to live and to deal with relationships again — all of them — because his adoptive family and his friends (but most especially his best friends) aren't leaving. And there's always room for more.
