Sigh. I am never going to get around to writing about HP:DH. No, I will one day, but I am still kind of processing as I read through a second time.

So instead, I give you links! All of which are chock full of spoilers, o' course.

First of all, check out Muggle Studies: A Harry Potter Fic Challenge. We're delving into history, sociology, linguistics, you name it. Come and play!

Secondly, three epilogues of beauty:
Platform 9.99999999999999999999... by trickofthedark

Nineteen Years and One Day by bethbethbeth

Untitled by maeglinyedi. She also has some great Snape meta here.

Thirdly, my two favorite quotes from DH, from which I will likely frame my response once I write it.

"King's Cross" p. 722
"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love."

"The Forest Again", p. 697
But he was home. Hogwarts was the first and best home he had known. He and Voldemort and Snape, the abandoned boys, had all found home here...

So yes. 'Tis a happy HP summer for me.

Thank you for the rec, my dear. And the quote on p 697? Everybody is touched by that one.

He and Voldemort and Snape, the abandoned boys, had all found home here...

Oh, yes. So much yes. Oh, boys.

...man I disagree with a lot of that meta on Snape, but I tend to believe the best of people. Even the bad ones.
