Contains:cc compliant, angst, fluff, nightmares, Malfoy Family Feels, first kiss,getting together, grief, caring for each other, Potters Caring for each other,Potter Family Feels, cc aftermath
Summary: Albusand Scorpius try to deal with their nightmares - with a little help from theirfamilies, and a lot of help from each other.
Eachchapter focusses on the relationship between Albus or Scorpius and anothercharacter (one of their parents, siblings or friend). I absolutely loved Albusand Scorpius’ relationship here, how their grief is bringing them closertogether. I also loved the realism of the story, these boys are allowed to justbe kids struggling with the cards life has dealt them. Keep the tissues closewhen reading!

Summary: Albus Potter isn’t doing wellafter the events of Godric’s Hollow. In fact, he’s doing very poorly, and it’sup to those who love him the most to help him through it. Even Scorpius can’tseem to cheer him up, and it will take a Christmas miracle to break him out ofthis rut.
I reccedthis one as dealing with anxiety as well, but it fits the theme so perfectly Ihad to rec it again! Albus is dealing with survivor guilt and struggles to openup about his ‘adventure’.
She haswritten a whole bunch of amazing stories dealing with the aftermath of CC, mostof them for general audiences I’ll give a full rec for one here (where theydeal with it together) but I also recommend checking out. (These will also showup as daily recs throughout the rest of the year)
The SameSide: Scorpius hashes it out with Harry Potter. Three times hurray for Malfoythe Unaxious
AfterGodric’s Hollow: Draco and Scorpius have a much-needed heart to heart.
VistingGodric’s Hollow: Albus & Harry finally talk, and at Godric’s Hollow too!
Marked:This one is perhaps a more liberal interpration of CC in that Scorpius retainsthe Dark Mark. It’s still very much worth a read!
Time Turns:this story tracks the importance of time andtime-turners in Scorpius’ life. Bittersweet.
The Vigil:as the summary says “Harry and Albus visit Godric’s Hollow on Hallow’s Eve, tojoin the vigil taking place outside the Potter’s destroyed house.”

Contains:cc compliant, Halloween, Malfoy Family Feels, pre-slash, fluff, grief, ccaftermath
Summary: It’sbeen a year (or forty years, depending on how you look at it) since the eventsof Godric’s Hollow. A lot has changed in that time, almost all of it for thebetter, but it’s still Hallows’ Eve. It’s never been the easiest of days.
I made themistake of re-reading this, fortunately tear-stains don’t show up on tumblrlike they do on paper. This story gives four important conversations, onebetween Scorpius and Albus (with definitely some potential), one between Scorpius and his Dad; one between Harry andDraco and finally between Harry and Albus. All of them set one year after theHalloween they spent together in Godric’s Hollow.

Word count:2294 in 1 chapter
Contains:Hogwarts Love, first kiss, late night conversations, mood swings, cc compliant,cc aftermath
Summary: “You’re my anchor,” Scorpius says, and itshould sound stupid said aloud, but he can tell that Albus gets it. “In thatcruel world, in the alternate timeline, it was the thought of you that kept megoing.” Albus makes a humming noise, and doesn’t respond for a while, butwhen he does, Scorpius can’t help feeling that there’s something he isn’tsaying. “That’s mutual, though I don’t know how I would keep going in analternate timeline without you.” “You’d probably have tea parties withmy dad, talking about his non-existent son,” Scorpius suggests.

Pretty much what the summary says, not only cc aftermath.
Anon, I hope this fulfills your ask! I really loved looking these fics up (and re-reading).
