    Summary

    Following the end of war, Hermione and Severus find themselves both in search of what they want and desire out of life now that the heavy cloud of oppression that has darkened their lives for so long has lifted.

    In a sandy bar in the South Pacific, they meet once again--he beginning work on a two decades long list of things he thought he'd never get to experience and she simply partaking in days of leisure without the weight of someone else's destiny resting on her shoulders.

    Drinks and conversation give way to dinner and flirtation. Dessert carries into the small hours of the morning. And when one night of explosive connection isn't enough, things heat up under the island sun as they embark on a holiday fling.

    But when the real world beckons them back, they part on amicable terms neither willing to ask for more than what was promised. That is until their paths once again cross--this time inside the walls of Hogwarts--offering up a chance at something more.

    Summary

    He should have died, but Hermione Granger wouldn't allow it. In the quiet of shattered things, she saved him—first from death, then from solitude, and finally from himself. Over eleven years, apprentice became partner, friendship became something more, and somewhere between the vials and stolen glances, love took root—slow, stubborn, and impossible to ignore.


    “Congratulations, Miss Granger,” he said at last. “The world needs more capable Potion Masters.”

    She rolled her eyes, tucking the document back into her robe pocket. “Oh, will you stop being so formal? Like you said, you’re no longer my professor, and I’m no longer your student. Call me Hermione.”

    He hesitated, then nodded. “Very well… Hermione.”

    Her name felt different on his tongue. Softer.

    “And you… can call me Severus.”

    Summary

    Hermione Granger is exhausted and overwrought. She finds refuge in the one place no one really bothered - Spinner's End. She wasn't too sure what prompted her to seek solace in Severus Snape. But, he always has a spare bedroom and clothes that fit just right. He treats her with an aloofness that hurts yet each time she is compensated by attentiveness she sorely lacks.

    Something doesn't quite add up.

    Why was Severus Snape privy to Hermione Granger's problems?
