A Thousand Words Paint a Picture

Summary:

Severus revisits his life, in his own words, one colour at a time.

But love, as it turns out, doesn’t fit neatly into the palette.

Notes:

HC, I was absolutely thrilled to be given the opportunity to write for you! I really hope you enjoy Severus' scribblings in this book.

(You can breathe a sigh of relief that this one was bought for him, and it's not yet another defaced library tome.)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Severus' message

Remind damned meddling blasted shopkeeper that my wishlist is private.
It should not and must not be divulged to busybodies under any circumstances.
Ever.
