For The Love

Monica Wilkins is missing something. There is a weight in the lightness of her life that she cannot place, an amorphous hole in her heart. What, or who, is the missing piece?

Hi, I have no idea what I am doing! This is my first foray into fanfiction. It's the story of a mother's love from the perspective of Monica Wilkins (nee Jean Granger), before she even knows who it is that she's loving. I have read hundreds of Dramione fics at this point in time and I'm never quite satisfied with how Hermie's mom is presented. She's either totally glossed over as gone, reintegrated, or -most frustratingly of all to me- mad at Hermione. I'm a mom and I cannot relate to that feeling of anger - though I will say the author of Detraquee nailed it as close as any! Unparalleled intro and extrospection there, with phenomenal writing.Maybe one day when i don't have a toddler and a newborn i will have time to edit and expound and in general improve this very short story. But for now, I simply wanted to write this for myself, to see the story as I would have liked to see it unfold from Jean/Monica's perspective. There is an intangible but ever present pull, an anchor attached to my heart, now that I'm a mother. I can't imagine a universe where my children haven't permeated every fiber of my soul and with that in mind I seek to explore what it might feel like to have that tether end in nothing.I'm sorry in advance if I've broken some unspoken etiquette of any community. Please let me know how i can improve! i am unsure of chapter count or total length, but my guess is something around five-seven chapters and roughly 10-15k words. Very short!
