Chapter Text
Hello my lovely readers!! Thanks for clicking on my fic, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. However, before you start reading, I just want to make a quick disclaimer about the fic: PLEASE DO NOT SKIP THIS!
I wrote this fic during quite a dark period in my life, as I have been struggling a lot with my mental health recently and have been using writing fanfic to cope with it. Hence why this fic needs a few trigger warnings, which include:
Graphic Self Harm
Eating Disorders
Alcoholism
Suicidal Ideology
Suicide Attempts
Depression
Character Death (Not Harry!)
Referenced Child Abuse
This is all I can think of for now (if I discover anymore, I will update this list as I post.) I will always put trigger warnings at the beginning of each individual chapter if a chapter is particularly bad, but please, dear reader, please take care of yourself while reading. If it gets too much for you, stop! Don’t pressure yourself into reading the rest of it if it is upsetting you and triggering you. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF!!
Anyway, with those TW out of the way, here’s a bit about the fic!
This is a series of letters written from Harry’s perspective after the war and they span over a year. (Hence why they are so dark, because Mr. Potter defo has PTSD and SO MUCH TRAUMA from the war. Man is fucked up.) You might think some of this is out of character for Harry, but this fic is going off of MY interpretation of how Harry might behave in the year after the war.
I don’t think I can say much more otherwise that will give away spoilers so… I shall shut up on describing the fic and I hope you enjoy it!
I… will admit something to you. There is no beta for this fic. I didn’t get a beta because I want these letters to be raw and real, like real letters, and having a beta would just be weird, coz letters aren’t edited.
My schedule for posting is non-existent, however I’m going to try (emphasis on try, it might differ every week LMAO) and post 2 letters every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at probably 6pm GMT/BST. Obviously, the time will vary each upload because I am a busy man and I have a job which I need to work this posting schedule around. (It’s hard, my shifts are at SUCH inconvenient posting times omg.)
Also, if the letters are short ones, you may get more than 2 letters, but whenever I post, you will always get at least 2.
Potentially, as well, there could be a sequel to this fic. If I decide to write it. (I’ve already been brainstorming ideas for it!) It’s left open enough for there to be a sequel if I am able to get it written SO if you enjoy this fic, let me know and I will get started on that sequel!!
I do have another post war HP fic that I am working on as well (yes, it is Drarry ofc) and that one is an 8th year one! It is currently on hiatus due to this fic but I’m gonna try and get it all finished before I head off to uni in September. :D
OH ALSO - big big thanks to Mel (@melanie_bxx on AO3 / @daddiesdrarry on Instagram) for putting up with my rambles about this fic and for helping me write the summary! (We love Mel, guys, okay? WE LOVE YOU MEL TA FOR ALL BABE!!)
(Also you will be getting 2 chapters now even though it’s a Monday to make up for the fact that I can’t post tomorrow!)
ANYWAY!
Enough from me, it’s time for you guys to dive into the mind of Harry through his letters post war. Enjoy! (But also look after yourself!!!)
