Leave Out All The Rest, Ch. 9 (Severance)

Pairing(s): George/Luna, hints of George/Angelina and George/Hermione, but mostly Gen.
Word Count: 80,000 words ::gulp::
Rating: R
Summary: Nobody expected the year after Fred's death would be easy. But nobody expected George would have to lose so much, just to live through it. Or: George is doing his best to make his way after the war and Fred's death. Everyone is trying to help, and he wishes they would just stop. Especially Fred.
Warnings: Angst, suicide issues, and occasional inappropriate humour.
Author Note: Thanks to twistedm, tree00faery, and vanseedee for beta above and beyond the call of friendship.

OK, sorry to take so long with this one. The next (and last) chapter should be out much, much faster. I hope. ::crossing fingers and hoping the Editing Fairy doesn't go AWOL on me::
