Summary
For twenty-three years, Severus Snape had been an excellent actor. A pity the curtain fell at the most inopportune moment.
Now he has serious trouble with the Ministry, a delicate situation with his colleagues, and one extremely persistent eighth-year student who’s certain he understands metaphors of rebirth.
A story about how some secrets are better kept forever. And about how Potters never knew when to stop.

Summary
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. -Friedrich Nietzsche.
After defeating Voldemort and leading the war against muggles years later, the Immortal Master of Death, Harry Potter has grown apathetic to everything. Yet he still dreams of obsidian eyes and a permanent sneer. So when given a chance to live out his life again from the start in another dimension, not as the-boy-who-lives, he takes it.
Harry plans to live a life of peace with Severus Snape as his new guardian but things turn awry as dark lord and death eaters come creeping up to destroy it. They all better remember that monsters never leave, they only sleep, ready to be awoken.

Summary
Severus grows flustered under Potter's unapologetic look of adoration and doesn't much care for his own awkwardness. He rarely finds himself tongue-tied and isn't particularly happy with the idea that the mere presence of an idiot who is twenty years his junior might be enough to affect him so profoundly.
