Wordcount: ~6800
Summary: See title; it's a bit more literal than it seems. PLEASE read the warnings! This is set in a post-DH AU wherein the death of Voldemort has not led to the stability and peace that everyone expected; Harry and an underground New Order are fighting to free the Wizarding World. Or something.
Warnings: Crack!premise, EWE, Graphic mpreg, somewhat graphic description of the aftermath of childbirth, male breastfeeding, pseudo-animal in traumatic situation, major sappiness

A/N: Inspired by a (somewhat?) facetious challenge someone issued to me to write a fic based on Disney's Bambi wherein Harry plays the part of Bambi's dad, as well as by a few photos of the tragically short-lived premature baby deer named Rupert, about whom someone said she would like to shove up inside her, rebirth, and call him her son. (That should give you an idea of what this fic is about.) AGAIN, this falls under the category of, er, dramatic!graphic!crack!fluff.
...and now let us never speak of this again. :)
WHY?
This? This is a classic, rightfully. This is in a class by itself, actually. It gave me an abiding love for anything b
brummell has ever written, for one thing. For another, it demonstrated quite clearly that cracktastic fluff can soar so far above and beyond (mere?) crack, it transcends to the sublime. It will do your heart good to read it, but only after your heart's been booted about a bit and been scuffed up. It will definitely have you smiling, maybe giggling, but the effects on your psyche will be long-lasting, and you'll remember it again and again with a sweet-sorrowful-hopeful feeling inside you. Don't miss. This is required reading.
