    Summary

    SHIVERS: A SISTER. PROTECT HER. LOVE HER. SHE’LL KEEP YOU ALIVE.
    EMPATHY: The pigeon is shivering. She doesn’t seem to be able to move far, her useless wing flopping sadly at her side, but she shrinks back as much as she can within the box.
    You: “Oh no, no, I’m not going to hurt you,” you say, clumsily holding out a broad hair-lined hand. The pigeon flinches, then, as you hold your hand as still as you can and make no move to harm her, regards you with a mix between fear and curiosity.
    LOGIC: She’ll die without you, Harry. Maybe she’ll die with you too. Is this a responsibility you can bear?

    Harry and Kim spend the evening tending to an injured pigeon. They get talking. Things begin to spiral in unexpected directions.

    Summary

    Jean is expecting to lose you again. Lose you for the last time. Because make no mistake- if you fuck up, because of this or anything else, it *will* be the last time. Don’t disappoint him again.
    Kim catches your wrist as you walk between your desks, gives it a quick squeeze. The leather of his glove is cool against your skin. He doesn’t say anything, but you understand. It is both reassurance and a warning.
    The walk through the hallway behind Alice feels like a walk to the firing squad lineup. God, what are you getting yourself into? Why aren’t you listening to the people who know you so much better than you do? But your feet keep moving and in a minute you are in the lobby, and standing in front of you is the woman who ruined your life.
    You ruined each other’s lives, your brain hisses at you. That does not make it any better, you hiss back. You do not speak.
    “Harry,” She breathes, and her face lights up in a radiant smile. “Oh, it’s been so long. Let’s step outside, shall we?”

    Or: I had this idea about Dora coming back to see Harry well into his recovery and how it might affect him
