    Summary

    He had just been learning the shape of his life after divorce when this relationship with Mycroft came along. And now a feeling of change hung about the corners of his mind like a spectre, unwilling or unable to let him go, and the sand under his feet always seemed to be shifting, shifting. Greg needed something solid to lean on.

    They'd fought their battles, and reached a measure of peace. But it was still going to take a little time to bring everything into accord.

    Summary

    A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.

     

    The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. The same question arises in every soul: "For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?"

     

    ...Or, a classic approach to stubbornness.
