This is gorgeous. It hurts! but oh, it's so lovely. I am a sucker for post-war fics that don't wash over the suffering and pain and scarring. That these kids are old beyond their years and deeply scarred and jaded. Like this: The smile implodes, crashes down on itself when he realizes that they are old now. They're eighteen years old, and they are veterans; they are the new Mad-Eye Moodys, mangled and scarred and missing pieces that magic can't ever replace.

exactly. What a painful, achy, lovely story. And the last line ends it perfectly-- not tying it too neatly, but ending it with a note of hope.

This story has just reminded me of how diverse and well-written HP can be. The time period is unique and you've captured the grittiness and pain and bruising, both literally and figuratively, with unforgettable imagery. Excellent wordcraft and brilliant, 110% believable characterizations here. I'd quote back several phrases in this taut vignette, but this one in particular is deliciously bittersweet:
Seamus runs his fingers all around Dean's mouth like he's looking for something; words or kisses or secrets like treasure.

Excellent story! I'm so glad you posted over to deamus and that I came over to your LJ read this. I'm an angst fan and you've delivered with tremendous skill. Kudos!
