Summary
Harry was sure he wouldn't survive the war. But he did. And everyone was moving on, even Malfoy. Except Harry's not okay, and when George, who is also very much not okay, offers a way to make it all better, Harry accepts.
And now Harry has a chance to see how his life would have been if his parents hadn't died in 1981.(A lot of family dynamics, depression and grief, feelings of guilt, too much drinking, light and fluffy moments too, working on trauma and growing up, friendships)

Summary
Here's what happened. James and Lily had died to protect their son. They had done it all for Harry, did everything they could to ensure his safety and happiness. All for Albus to dump him at Petunia's where he was neglected and abused.
Lily had seen it, sort of. The afterlife was weird like that. You could watch your living loved ones but not directly. It wasn't like turning on the telly and watching their lives. It was more of a feeling with flashes of memories. She could feel her son's pain, his confusion, his fear, his hopelessness. Every once in a while she could see him too, locked up in his little cupboard, not bothering to cry because he knew that tears would only bring more pain. She could feel his hunger, his desperation. It was eating her alive... Well... Not alive. That was the problem.
The afterlife was supposed to bring them peace, it was supposed to be their final resting place, but Lily couldn't rest, not when Harry was wasting away in some dark hole and nobody was doing anything to fix it.
She was his mother, and she was going to fix it. And if that ment dragging her husband and their new friend back through the veil to the land of the living, then so be it.
