Ohh, if you are able to read sad fic ("A Different Fate" is poignant but more uplifting, imho), look at All Through The Night - it's centred around Petunia and her motherly feelings for Harry. I'd almost picked it as my personal favourite.
And I'm so flattered <3 Thank you. Writing "All That Remains" marked me too, because I realised that I was capable of plotting and world-building, not "only" fic centred completely around character/emotions.

He knew, then, that Malfoy had changed, or would change, or was in the process of changing.
Harry knew, with the same surety, that he wanted to be there for it. He wanted to watch as Malfoy unfolded himself and shook out the parts that were cruel and mean and hateful. He wanted to watch for the moment when Malfoy’s limbs and heart and brain and muscles moved in a way that wasn’t heavy with unease and anger. He wanted to see a thousand more easy smiles on Malfoy’s face, it wouldn’t even matter if he hadn’t put them there himself. He wanted to see Malfoy bloom with laughter.
