Summary: Harry has a nightmare. Severus makes everything better.
 

In The Dead Of The Night.

He stares blindly out the window, trying to forget the awful images that woke him.
“Harry?”

His lover's voice curls around his senses and he turns around wildly, raking that sleep-rumpled form with visible agitation.
“I had a horrible nightmare. I dreamed that you died in the war. Bled to death in my arms...”

Severus gathers him gently, cradling him against his heart.
“But I survived. I'm right here.”

“What if you hadn't? What if...?”

Severus kisses him softly.
“No more what-ifs, Harry, please. The war is finally over. It's time to leave what-if  behind and look forward to what-now...”

Hello there, fallconsmate

It's true that leaving what-if behind is a very hard thing to do, but I believe that accepting our life as it is will result in a happier "us" all around. I'm thrilled you found this piece beautiful. Thank you, as always, for your lovely review. ;)
