Summary
Everyone thought Severus Snape had been in love with Lily Potter.
Everyone was wrong.
Lily had been his first friend, his first miracle, the first clean hand ever offered to him. But she had not been his first crush.
Unfortunately, that honor belonged to James Potter.
Years later, after war, survival, therapy, and eight peaceful years away from England, Severus returns to Hogwarts as Potions master and finds Harry Potter there as Head Auror, teaching the senior students twice a week.
Harry has James’s hair. James’s face, at certain angles.
But he has none of James’s cruelty.
And that, Severus discovers, is far more dangerous.

Summary
Shortly after graduating his "eighth" year at Hogwarts, the grand future Harry had hoped for starts crumbling beneath his feet. He can't cope with the aftermath of the war, though with the help of his mind Healer and his new, intense friendship with the mysterious wizard Sebastian, he might have a chance.
Only, Sebasation is gay, a quality Harry didn't know was reviled by so many of his close friends. Even so, there's something about the older man that he just can't ignore...
Written by a fellow complex-PTSD survivor mostly in response to the fact that so many stories are irritatingly inaccurate.

Summary
Harry doesn't care about Snape beyond having to sit detentions with the man despite being of age. He doesn't. He asks him out for a drink just to get out of detention. So what if it's... nice? So what if they become friends? So what if Snape *is* lonely?
It's not Harry's problem - at least not until he realises he's accidentally befriended the man, and just how much he cares for Snape.
Well, shit.
