Summary
"Maybe in another life, we’re lovers.”
Hermione’s breath caught.
He looked at her.
“And maybe this...” he gestured between them again, “...is just an alternate universe. A different version of that life.”Written for Harmony Out of the Ordinary Prompt Fest, it’s not a traditional AU. No time travel, no soul bonds, no swapped houses or Dark Lords returned.
Just two best friends in their thirties, tangled up in everything but the truth. Harry’s relationships keep ending for the same reason-- they all think he’s already in love with Hermione.
And maybe… they’re not wrong.
A slow, aching, tender unraveling of the story they've told themselves.
One night, one breakup, one firelit living room, one bottle of whiskey...and a universe where Harry and Hermione stop pretending not to be that other love story.
