 War is not a fun, enjoyable thing -- people get hurt, killed, are forced to do things- become things that they never would have dreamed of in a peaceful world. This story explores on Harry deals with the aftermath of the final battle, what he did, who he became, in a wonderfully written angsty story where he learns that maybe he needs to move on with his life

He opens his mouth to start in on the apology he spent three hours formulating as she cuts him off with a pointed look first at the pan and then the battle axe lying on the closed weapons chest, well within her reach.

She crosses her arms in front of her chest and demands, “Is falling in love with me really so horrible? Did I hurt you that badly? You needed to survive and I made sure you did, damn it. That’s what I do. I keep people alive and you’re still breathing so I can’t have done my job too horribly. I’m trying, Harry. I’ve been trying for a month because I thought if I gave you enough time you might let go of your anger, but I was obviously wrong. I’ve been in love with you for a long time and I’ve put up with your shit for almost as long but this ends here. You need to get your head screwed on straight, not for me, but for yourself because the way your living can’t be healthy.

“If you ever fix the mess you’ve made of yourself, you can come back. But I’ve got enough shit in my life to deal with and I don’t need yours on top of it.”
