This is a rewritten and expanded story based on the earlier one-shot of the same name, which has now been renamed Tide & Surf, to reduce confusion. It now includes drarry, and follows Harry's journey from the end of his relationship with Ginny to the beginning of his relationship with Draco. :-) Summary: After a lifetime of war, Harry searches for something he can't quite define. His journey takes him all the way to Northern California, to the rocky shore of the Pacific Coast, where he finds what he was searching for - if not what he expected. A story of endings and beginnings, of loss and letting go and moving on. Of the pull of gentle hope and despair, and a quiet, bone-deep strength. Of peace. Notes: An odd little story; a love letter to the place I live, and a testament to how the power of the ocean and the trees can heal the heart and soul. Told through Harry's eyes, beginning with the end of Hinny and ending with the beginning of drarry, because I love drarry nearly as much as I love where I live.

A Novel by Marty Moore Some cries for help were never meant to be answered. In the mist-drenched forests of Oregon, the campfire stories all end the same way. A girl, bloodied and bound to a tree. A cry for help that echoes through the pines. And the warning whispered by every local who's heard the tale- If you untie her, you die. When journalist Allison Reid sets out to investigate a string of missing hikers in the Pacific Northwest, she expects superstition, not evidence. But the deeper she ventures into the woods, the more she discovers that every legend hides a kernel of truth-and some are rooted in something older, darker, and mercilessly alive. Half ghost story, half psychological descent, Tied to the Tree unspools the haunting folklore of a forest that tests human compassion itself. In a place where mercy means death, and indifference means survival, one question remains: Would you untie her?
