Summary
When Harry is forced to endure a summer under Snape’s care, he’s uncertain he has the will to bear through whatever his professor has in store for him.
With the ghost of Cedric over his shoulder, the echo of his relatives’ treatment ringing in his ears, and the absence of anyone he thought still cared about him weighing on his chest, he knows that with just a little more pressure he may totally crumble.
As Harry is plagued by the many consequences of Voldemort’s return, Severus attempts to suffer through the burden of arming the boy’s mind against his original master, all while continuing his subterfuge at the Dark Lord’s feet.
When a connection of consciousness is wound between them, and certain truths about Harry are revealed, they have no choice but to bend to the consequences, and hope they emerge on the other side better for it.

A classic slow build Severitus fic with alternating perspectives between Harry and Severus, a unique take on Occlumency, and a lot of angst, focused on what it really looks like when the truth is revealed.
TW: Child Abuse, CSA. It is stark, but not explicit.
