    Summary

    Taking place directly after the Battle of Hogwarts Harry is trying to deal with his trauma from the course of the events of the war and struggles to confront it, along with trying to manage his grief. Snape survived but disappeared in shame and remorse after the battle. Harry finds him, and they both discover that they have more in common now more than ever - Both are struggling with their sense of self and purpose. But stray Death Eaters from the battle are re-grouping for a final stand to take out the great Harry Potter, and their traitor, and Harry and Snape must put aside their differences to end the fight once and for all, whilst also dealing with Snape's illness along the way. No slash. Explores darker themes of grief, self-blame, PTSD, depression, and suicidal ideation.

    I dedicate this story to my father who passed from a long battle with cancer at 61 years old on 15/03/2023 - whose journey was the inspiration for this story. xx
