Quote: It’s all fun and games. If it isn’t, you’re not playing correctly.

There’s someone who’s become quite a part of Hermione’s life over many months. New in a variety of ways, especially relating to her role as a law abiding, law enforcing resident of the galaxy. Namely, someone who very much isn’t either of those types. Different, carefree, exciting. Someone very hard to walk away from.

Notes:
I am dreadfully sorry this took this long... there was a ton I needed to get through for this chapter, and adopting a new and very rambunctious five-month-old yellow lab at the end of April ate up pretty much all my writing time for two months. Up until a few hours ago, I had been telling myself that if I couldn't get this done by tonight, I would cut the chapter in half and shunt the rest into Chapter 62. I didn't want to do that, since my gut feeling tells me that as lengthy as it is, it flows better as all one chapter... but over the past three days I made one final push and got all of it out, just in time for when I go out of state for a convention tomorrow.

But mostly his notes formed a frame for Grubber’s song, to cup and hold the sweet, painful strains and give them space and context to be felt within the heart. Until finally the violin slipped from Grubber’s hands and he broke into silent sobbing.

Warning: Reminder that one of the tags is SI (suicide ideation). Grubber is in a poor mental place and 2D draws on his own experiences to support him.
