"It was the shine and glint of the sun on Hermione's skin and glasses that moved Harry through the back door and across the hot tiles, his reflection flying across the water of the pool and his shadow reaching up her legs as he stepped to where she lay."

(Not really angsty. More...reflective.)
It's Christmas, a day Harry's never had before. Not like this.
"
Just me and...and you.

This wasn't what Ginny had expected to find when she showed up.
"But now here they were, and it was written right in front of her in stolen glances she'd been forced to witness and god knew how many hugs and kisses they'd spared her. Still, she plowed on –maybe if she could just remind him of what it'd been like when Hermione wasn't the only girl in his life."

(The H/Hr is more hinted at then anything. But still--give a chance. It's romantic in it's way.)
She seated herself between them, the fabric of each of their tight-fitting clothes touching. She gripped Ron's elbow and kissed Harry's cheek, as the quiet bells of the old Grandfather clock struck and the Witching Hour ticked into place.

(Re-Post!) "It scared Harry, that Hermione was so much darker--he loved her and needed her, but she was--and yet still so rational and sure. They were her new mission. They were each other's new mission." The war is over. They have won. But they are changed. But one thing remains the same; they still have each other. (Venus De Milo-related lines were inspired from the movie The Dreamers.)

"I just need..." she sniffed again. A small rub of her back by Harry's hand seemed to coax the rest of what she needed out of her. Voice breaking and muffled, she said, "I just need to be with the people who love me."

"...Well, then, using your own logic, I know that you're in love with Harry. You may just not know it yet, because no one has pointed it out to you, isn't that right? So I am now. You. Are in love. With Harry. And it wants to be freed."

"Please. Ron, I need you to hear me...I know I--neither of us have any right to ask anything of you now. But--but--," she faltered for a moment, and he could hear her swallow. "But...because you love me, I need you to just hear me. To look at me."

While keeping watch on desperate, pleading Ginny, Hermione considers the 'love' in her own life.
"There was no desperation with him, no pain that Ginny had described with such passion and anguish. Ron had, quite simply, told Hermione that he loved her, one day. And…the easiest thing to do at the time was to just say it back. That was all." One-shot.
