   Summary

   "Be cunning and full of tricks, and your people shall never be destroyed."
   This is a long fic going through Severus' time at Hogwarts (and maybe beyond but...yk). Canon divergent because this IS a Snily fic, but I'm going to do what I can to make this as canon-compliant as I can. I'm sorry in advance if my interpretation is different then yours :(
   1971 — 1981

   Again, this is a SNILY centric fic. There will be other ships but they aren't the focus.

   DISCLAIMER: I do not support JK Rowling's disgusting transphobic views — I'm literally trans.
