    Summary

    He jerked the sleeve on his left arm up to reveal the now faded Dark Mark. “In case you have forgotten, foolish girl, I am a Death Eater. I killed and tortured just like the rest of them. I attended all the revels; I answered all the summons like the good little...”

    “Spy. You were a spy.”

    “Did you hear me, you stupid girl?! I KILLED. I KILLED MUGGLES FOR SPORT!”

    “If not, Professor, I’d say you haven’t been a Death Eater for a very long time.”

    Summary

    Severus Snape is found alive after the Battle of Hogwarts.
    Voldemort is dead, but his followers--one zealot in particular--live on.

    Nursed back to health by the Golden Trio, Severus finds himself with an unlikely connection and an opportunity for a happy life, if only he'll let himself have it--if no one dares try to take it away.

    **All characters belong to JK Rowling; if it seems familiar, it's probably canon.**

    COMPLETED 12/31/24; Chapter 47 is the steamy stuff, but it's more bland than you think.
