This is the drabble that I wrote just now for Sparks. I didn't even know about the prompt Recovery until I visited the community to post this one! Clearly I am one with the community. *psychic powers hum*
Title: Insecurity
Author&Rating: Loonynamelass, PG, First drabble I've felt good about in a while.
Prompt: Devotion, Sparks, Recovery
Word Count: 100
Notes/Warnings: 1. Harry knows loss well, but for Ginny, the loss of Fred is her first, and she plunges into a spiral of depression, not helped by the additional losses of Tonks, a friend, Lupin, a mentor, Colin, a peer...
Harry’s life had once been marked by antagonists: relatives, Voldemort, and government.
Now, 24, ensnared in normalcy, he feels dead without the adrenaline, the sparks of battle. He finds himself still subconsciously raging against the machine as he chases after that which would make the world wrongly despise him once again…
“Ginny, please, stop this. It’ll only worsen the depression, the healer said to-”
“Nurture my interests.”
Harry sighed. “Just… Know that no amount of ‘Drarry’ fanfiction changes the fact that you’ll always have enough spark for me.” And that I’ll never tire of restoring the sparks to your eyes.

Additional Notes:
1. This is similar to Comforting Comparisons, just with the roles reversed.
2. This exists in a universe similar to Creationism/Evolution in the Wizarding World, where wizards know about us, and we have the HP books but think they're fictional.
3. Random ideas in my head had Ginny objecting that she really just enjoyed tricking the muggles about her husband's manner, and Harry concluding that such a hobby would certainly be considered muggle-baiting by Arthur.
