Little Deaths

I received this ask on tumblr and I'm posting the response here because of how long it is:

Hi! I'm rereading your incredible Little Deaths fic and drinking green tea, in the middle of some very dramatic gloomy weather. Super conducive to soft whispery feelings!

I was wondering if you could talk a bit about the post-war justice system/environment of the fic? I'm from a recently post-war country, and have always thought a lot about who should and shouldn't stand trial after conflict (especially in wars where the general population is heavily affected by fighting from either side). I'd just like to hear your thoughts on well...anything, really! How you came up with this aspect of the story, what your thoughts are on the HP fandom's usual representation of post war justice system, anything!

If you've talked about it somewhere else feel free to just point me there or ignore - I tried to look through the comments but there's so many of them, as there should be, of course ❤️ Thank you again for your writing and these whispery sweet boys!

Hi! I don't know how long this has been sitting in my asks so I'm sorry if you've been waiting awhile.

To start with: thank you for this lovely ask! I’m so incredibly pleased and humbled that this fic has become a comfort read for so many, and is still being read and re-read. ♥

The rest of this post is under a cut because it got REALLY long. It’s also on my DW in a public post here in case it’s easier to read than on tumblr.
