Forgive Me (11/15)
This story is fully complete - some 78,000 words. We have broken it up into 15 installments which will post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for the next five weeks. This is not the first collaboration that we've posted, but it is the first we wrote! It just takes a lot longer to edit 80k than one might think.
We nicknamed this story 'epic!fic' while we were writing it - as it took only a few weeks to reach the 80k mark - and we have spent a lot of time editing and polishing it. We hope you enjoy it.
Please mind the warnings for triggery bits. We know this won't be everyone's cuppa, but it was something that we were really inspired to write.
Title: Forgive Me
Authors: deirdre_aithne and uniquepov (our collaborations can be found on our joint journal, lorca_aithne)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Harry/Neville, past Harry/other, and a blink-and-you-might-it-mention of Dramione
Summary: Years after the end of the war, Harry and Neville hit it off after a blind date. Harry is afraid to open up, but Neville is determined to explore the spark between them. Can they find happiness together, or will the spectre of Harry's hidden past destroy their fledgling romance?
Content: Slash (with activities as implied by the rating), BDSM, D/s, angst. Bottom!Harry, if you care about that sort of thing.
Warnings: *highlight to view -spoilers*
somewhat graphic descriptions of domestic and sexual abuse and stalking (not in the main pairing)
Word Count: ≈3000 this installment (≈78k complete)
Author's Notes: Thank you to the absolute team of folks who helped to beta and cheerlead for us as we wrote this! khasael, solas_divided, kinky_kneazle, talekayler, and especially catcachoo - every one of you gave us something immeasurably precious. Thank you! We tinkered with it again at the end, so any remaining errors are entirely our fault.
Disclaimer: We solemnly swear that we are up to no good. However, we promise to return everyone, good as new, when we’re done playing with them. We own nothing that you recognize, and we do not profit from any of it.
