Summary: Hermione's a new Psychiatrist at the Institute. Will she be able to help her troubled patient with his illness?

My thoughts: this story got off to a rocky start as the first Team AU entry, as the author unintentionally forgot the character death warning. It's been added now, but in a way, it's a shame that had to be done, as the surprise at the end loses a bit of its punch. The prompt itself, if you think about it, almost calls for angst, though--a warning to not be too sure of your reality... This is a bizarre twisting of canon into the delusional, while reality is a magic-less world. It's haunting and very well-written, short and even if you run shrieking into the night from character death, this is a story about love that persists in the face of tragedy, that waits and doesn't give up.
