[REC] [FIC] Harry Potter: May the Second

Title: May the Second
Fandom: Harry Potter
Author: [livejournal.com profile] pepperam
Characters/pairing: Harry/Ginny, with mentions of Ron/Hermione, Bill/Fleur and Molly/Arthur, starring the whole Weasley family
Rating: R
Word Count: 8465

The morning after the Battle of Hogwarts, Ginny is trying to deal with her broken family---while wanting nothing more to escape and to find Harry. It's a wonderful fic on numerous levels. The grief of the Weasleys is palpable, and the portrayal of how a person can feel trapped among mourners, can feel weakened by needing to be strong, is incredibly accurate and moving. The fic is also excellent in describing how Ginny and Harry's relationship---though they only dated briefly---has developed, especially while separated in the war; it is deep, but also tentative and unsure.

Thank you for the rec! I'm so glad the fic resonated with you. Your comments are so lovely and describe exactly what I was trying to-- hoping to-- get across with this story. Thank you so much, this is a huge compliment :D
