One Last Hope

Something in the not-so-distant past has nearly torn up the trio's friendship. What has to be done to save them all from growing further and further apart? What happens when you love someone so much you can't bare to put them in any more danger? More importantly, what happens when you blame yourself? This is also my take on Muddgutts's challenge over in the forums. He's an awesome artist! ****Finally FINISHED!**** FIC ADMINS' NOTE: Muddgutts' fanart & challenge may be found here: http://talk.portkey.org/index.php?s=&showtopic=4310
