Description:

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." -Lao Tzu

Hogwarts is coming to a close, and the war-torn outside world is coming into sharp focus.

Lily Evans is trapped in between betrayals and threats; James Potter between courage and overwhelming fear; Sirius Black between immaturity and madness; Severus Snape between shame and loathing. Growing up means facing the difference between who they are and who they want or need to become, but this atmosphere has a habit of cutting off flowers before they can bloom. But without another path to follow, forward is the only direction anyone can go, to meet a future that is more likely than not to be terribly short.

Meanwhile: one love is born as another dies, friendships bend and break and evolve, four lifetimes-worth of tragedy get tangled up in each other, life goes on, and happiness is made rather than found. And underneath it all, the winds begin to change.

Series of interconnected one-shots spanning the end of Hogwarts and beginning of the first Order of the Phoenix; canon pairings.

Notes:

This started off with Common Stories, which was written almost two years ago now, and at that time I had no plans of any continuation; however, I've had a few ideas brew up in this head-canon, and it seemed easier and more organized to simply package them all into a series of one-shots that are all explicitly connected. As of this writing, the chronological order is Common Stories -- and in this moment i am happy -- i await a guardian -- These Inconvenient Fireworks -- while Severus and Snivellus and Snape spans the timeline. Additional stories may or may not be posted in chronological order, and I'll update update the timeline as needed.
