Title: From Behind The Wall Author: @nymphadoratonqs Artist(s): @apriicat Pairing(s): Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, (Mentioned) Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley Other Key Characters: Hermione Granger, Marion (Original Character) Rating: Mature Word Count: 19.2k Art Medium: Digital Art Era: Immediately Post-War Content/Warnings: Angst with a hopeful ending, Getting together, Working through issues, Therapy, Adopting a cat, POV Alternating, Slow Burn, Grief and Mourning, Mental Health Struggles, Loneliness, Miscommunication Summary: After the war, Harry gets therapy. Draco doesn’t. They still find their way to each other. Author’s Notes:  All the therapy in this fic is based on real life techniques that I've had the privilege of studying for the past years at university. Emotion-Focused Therapy is evidence-based and known to be effective in the treatment of patients who have a history of childhood abuse and neglect, and who suffer from anxiety and/or depression. In other words: I'm a huge nerd and I wanted to use my nerdy knowledge to help our boys feel a bit better. Please check AO3 for a complete set of tags and warnings. Artist’s Notes: I'm really happy to have participated in this fest! I've never drawn for a reverse bang so this was both challenging and really really fun. Thank you to my author for claiming my artwork and all the hard work done!

Nothing. Author's Notes: Thank you to the best cheerleaders I could ever ask for, Peony and Kris. I don’t know if I would have been able to write this if it were not for your love and support, your unwavering encouragement and belief that I could do this. I cannot begin to express how much you both have meant to me along this journey, I truly can’t.

Many thanks to Carey for being an amazing Alpha, for helping to reign me in when I needed to be, and guiding me when I got lost.

Thank you to Grace and Writ, for being brilliant mods throughout this entire process.

All of my love and thanks to my misfits. I love you losers.

To my extraordinary beta, Mose. I cannot begin to describe just how much you have done for me. When I struggled to find the right words, you took my hand and led me to them. You were encouraging and made everything I wrote so much better. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! The care that you took when editing Beneath the Cloak is beyond compare, and I will forever be grateful to you.

And finally, to Cat. I was stuck in what felt like an unrelenting cycle of writer’s block. Even though I had things I wanted to write, stories I wanted to tell, I had no inspiration or motivation to do so. And then I saw your art, and it sparked something in me again. So thank you for creating such a brilliant piece of art that reminded me why I love this pairing and why I love writing about them. I hope I did your art justice. Artist's Notes: Had a lot of fun coming up with something a little more angsty than my usual art! The freedom to draw whatever always leaves me a little overwhelmed but it was an interesting challenge for me to create a scene for a story instead of the other way around! A huge thank you to my author that kept me in the loop throughout the whole process and was just all around awesome!
