What do you do when everything you know comes to an end?

The battle is over, Voldemort's gone, everything they ever wanted has come to pass. So why is it so hard to return to a "normal" life? How does one simply pick up the pieces and move on? When your entire life and identity have revolved around this one thing for so long... what do you do you have left of yourself when that one thing is over?

Or... an 8th year story addressing the aftermath of the war and what it means to realize you've lost everything in the process of winning. But maybe it's all just part of the process of becoming who you were meant to be.

Gave it a mature rating for language and themes, but there are no graphic descriptions of anything.

Choices of the Heart by Naadi11
10 parts Complete
Immediately after defeating Voldemort, Harry begins to have strange dreams, dreams that pull him once more into the realm of the newly dead. At first, the dreams are only a curious mystery, and Harry sets about putting his life back in order after the war. But when Harry dreams of Narcissa Malfoy, his life suddenly goes in a much different direction than the one he'd always imagined. This story ties up the loose ends about the Elder Wand and the Deathly Hallows. Choices of the Heart was written for the following prompt: "You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from Death. He accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying." Note: The story contains conversations with dead people in dreams, most of these are older original characters, but there is one OC child. No actual deaths are portrayed and no canon characters die except for those who have already died in canon. I understand that death may not the easiest thing to read about for some, but I want to assure readers that I have tried to handle the concept of death in this story in the most uplifting way possible. This is not a story about loss and angst, but about finding hope and love, making choices, and trusting in the beauty and synchronicity of the universe, even if one crosses the boundaries between life and death. It also has, like almost everything I do, a generous share of silliness. There are also four hidden jokes/plays on words in the fic. ;-)

Uncomfortable Truths

87 parts Complete

Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts after the war. After a drunken game of Never Have I Ever discloses personal information of some of the 8th year students; they scramble to protect themselves and those affected. This story is a slice of life, showing them grow out of the roles they were placed in while battling the ghosts of their past. Dealing, often poorly, with what life throws at them. Learning to be teenagers instead of soldiers. Very long character driven story. OR How Harry and Draco build a life and family together. Not mine sorry to original author 😭😭😭😭
