[[ starter that wasn't asked for and was barely announced for @tmvoldemort

Harry hated his life on a good day, but after everything he'd done, all he'd been through... It was too much. He couldn't do this anymore. He couldn't fight for people who thought it was okay to raise a child for slaughter. Who thought it was alright to not tell someone that they had a bit of someone else's soul in in their head. Who thought it was alright to have someone try to kill the person whose soul they shared. Harry stifled another sob, but his mind was made up. He couldn't keep fighting. Wouldn't keep fighting.

He pushed through more undergrowth, then some more, then, after pausing to try to pull himself into some kind of composure, stepped into the clearing filled with Death Eaters. "Voldemort!" he shouted to get his attention. "There's something you should know before you kill me." He pointed at his scar. "This, right here? Is a part of you. The only one left, except for Nagini."

“I hate this. I hate you. But most of all I hate that I don’t hate you. That I can’t hate you.”

Harry made a frustrated noise and crossed his arms defensively. Then unfolded them to rub angrily at his scar. He knew he shouldn’t say anything that would escalate things. It wouldn’t do any good to be more angry at each other. But… It would be so very satisfying to yell and be well and truly pissed at the universe right then.

Finally, after a couple deep breaths, he responded. “I hate this situation too. It isn’t fair. But I don’t think this is the kind of thing that’ll go away if we ignore it. Or insult it.”

Hermione ( @brightstwitch ) asked:

“ this is what we’ve been waiting for. ” 

Harry didn’t look reassured in the slightest. If anything, the reminder only made him look more terrified.  “I know.  I know.  But... What if I can’t do it?”

Draco ( @notinbadfaith ) asked:

“This is… it then ?” 

Hari swallowed around the lump in his throat.  It was getting worse--every breath was starting to feel like a bit of a struggle around it.  “I just can’t, Draco.  You know it too. I can’t go off... I can’t focus on saving the world when I’m still worrying you.  Us.”

Verse: Savior

Harry has taken on the responsibility given to him by the prophecy and is either actively working towards taking down Voldemort or has recently finished the job, but the aftermath of the war means the pressure hasn’t quite let up yet.

Open Starter: Harry

Harry hadn't been able to stand staying around the mourning and the injured when he knew he was responsible for their pain, but when reporters and aurors started showing up too... He'd disappeared as quickly as possible, making his way to anywhere that seemed quiet and structurally stable. He hadn't expected to be found.

Harry looked up, embarrassed and surprised, and hastily wiped some of the dirt and tears from his face.
