It's the first time I make a fanart this complex, so I really hope you'll like it, dear sealcat! :) ( At Peace // Like I Belong Again )

Summary: “...and with a burning pain in my heart I realized how unnecessary, how petty, and how deceptive all that had hindered us from loving was. I understood that when you love you must either, in your reasonings about that love, start from what is highest, from what is more important than happiness or unhappiness, sin or virtue in their accepted meaning, or you must not reason at all.” ― Anton Chekhov Author's/Artist's Notes: I hope that this story pleases you, wwmrsweasleydo. When I finally found the right story to tell, it all seemed to fall into place. Thank you to L, my invaluable beta and dear friend, who never fails to improve anything she touches. ( Red Dreams )

Summary: Garrick Ollivander is a lost soul after everyone leaves Muriel’s house to go fight in the Battle of Hogwarts. How will he fit back into a world where he feels responsible for handing Voldemort the ultimate deadly weapon? Author's Notes: Beta’d by my dear friend B, who is, I am sure, regretting her rash offer to beta this story, since she got it over a weekend when both of her boys were sick. Thank you, my dear, you went above and beyond the call. Any remaining mistakes are my own bloody fault. I hope this fic is to your liking synn, though I profusely apologize for the lack of pr0n. The two main characters had a long, plotty story to tell and by the time they were done, I ran out of both time and room (see the ridiculous word count). It is a bit angsty, though I don’t think it’s excessively so, but I think you will like the ending. :-) Choosing the Wizard(Don't forget to return to this page to leave feedback for the author!)
