    Summary

    He jerked the sleeve on his left arm up to reveal the now faded Dark Mark. “In case you have forgotten, foolish girl, I am a Death Eater. I killed and tortured just like the rest of them. I attended all the revels; I answered all the summons like the good little...”

    “Spy. You were a spy.”

    “Did you hear me, you stupid girl?! I KILLED. I KILLED MUGGLES FOR SPORT!”

    “Did you enjoy it?”

    “WHAT?”

    “Did. You. Enjoy it,” she repeated.

    He wanted to throttle the girl for her insolence. Before he could give her another tongue lashing, Hermione laid a shaking hand upon his forearm. He hissed through his teeth as though he were burned. When she spoke, her voice was gentle.

    “If not, Professor, I’d say you haven’t been a Death Eater for a very long time.”

    ___

    As an unlikely friendship blooms during Hermione's return to Hogwarts for her eighth year, and learns things about herself and the former spy she could never have dreamed of. While her sense of normalcy is once again turned upside down, Hermione must find a way to confront the depths of her own magic as well as learn her own heart as she attempts, once again, to save the Wizarding World from its own darkest elements.

    Summary

    Severus had been ready to die, he hadn't expected to find himself back to a time when he was still to commit his greatest sins. He had not expected Lily to talk to him again.

    After two decades spent fighting in a war, it's not immediately apparent to him that somewhere along the way he must've forgotten how to live. With a looming war on the horizon, he doesn't have much of a choice if he wants to protect her.

    Summary

    A sceptic even of things he could see with his own eyes, Severus had never taken anything on faith. He held no belief in an afterlife, even less so a pleasant one. And yet, he had always harboured a great deal of reverence for the power of the mind. He would have hoped that, in its last gasp, his hallucinating psyche might finally absolve him of his lifelong misery. Of course, even in death’s final throes, his own mind couldn’t bring itself to be kind to him.

    After closing his eyes in the Shrieking Shack at what he believed to be the moment of his death, Severus opens them again on the train back to King’s Cross at the end of fifth year.

    Summary

    COMPLETE!!

    When Severus Snape wakes after the final battle back in his own home with an unexpected guest, he faces a pivotal choice.

    OR

    Severus ends up renovating basically his entire house as his life becomes entwined with one bushy-haired witch.
    ***
    His knees knocked under him, the grip on the sink tightening with a hiss as his legs protested holding him up much longer. Damn it all to hell.

    There was no way he was going to be able to manage undressing and getting into the tub without blacking out in the effort. Quickly, Severus had to negotiate which was worse - asking for help now or it being demanded later when his unconscious body fell to the floor, likely traumatizing his former student further.

    “Miss Granger…” he began, voice ragged, “I can’t… do this alone.”

    Summary

    It took Severus precisely 102 days, 15 hours, and 45 minutes — just over three months — to say he loved her. To lose her required a single conversation. Of the 14,246 days he breathed, he’d spent only 131 truly happy.

    . . . . . . . .

    Hermione saves Professor Snape on May 2nd, 1998. That summer, she risks her life to ensure that what's his remains safe — and in the process, she gets swept up in the darkest magic a millennium and more in the making. When they meet again at Hogwarts for her repeat seventh year, pain brings them together in a way that sparks a chain of events neither of them can outrun: not without the other.

    . . . . . . . .

    Open to read some slow burn angst or if you enjoy (an eventual) soul bond with a twist and a very happy ending.
