This easily belongs to the most memorable fanfictions I stumbled across. Well, can you stumble across RaeWhit? I dunno. I mean, they are one of the most rec'ed in the entire fandom. This story focuses on loss, grieving, aging and being an adult, as well as the issue of responsibility. While I love Snarry, this also hits just the topics I can see this pairing to be about. RaeWhit hit two favorite's of mine, especially with a hint of PTSD in there. The OC's were realistically depicted, something not many FF authors manage to do. I seriously felt with them when Winifred died.
