Everything but me

Some people spend their whole lives trying to forget, while others spend theirs trying to remember.

Lavender got into university knowing that her life would never be the same - and neither would she. She's trying to piece together a new version of herself, but the fragments don't quite fit. Jean Kirstein is a closed-off, cold guy who never lets anyone too close. He spent years trying to forget the thing that caused such a deep ache in his chest - he would have been ready to spend many more years, an eternity, trying to erase it from his memory, trying to make sure those moments that will never happen again would stop flashing through his mind. But he knows they've long become a part of him, and all he can do is learn to live with them.

University AU. A story that might not have a happy ending - but as long as they feel love, they will try.
