Fics like What Carries On

Hermione Granger has always hated the phrase life carries on especially in middle of World War II Britain in the tiny village of Ecclesbourne where her library helps hold together a population inundated by grief. Then, on Whit Monday, 1942, Squadron Leader Roger Davies arrives in Ecclesbourne to inform Hermione Granger that the Air Ministry requires her library. She gives him the building. Barely. Flight Lieutenant Harry Potter takes up residence at the reference desk. He has a cane, a library card he consistently fails to use, and a copy of A Tale of Two Cities he is technically stealing. The village of Ecclesbourne has opinions about the RAF. The RAF has opinions about the village. The war continues with no particular regard for either. And meanwhile, Hermione is learning, in a requisitioned library in a village holding her grief and that of others, that carrying on is not evasion. And in fact, it may be the whole point. Written for the Empire and Eras Fest and Harmony Out-of-the-Ordinary fest.
