    Summary

    1987 had been plagued with strange and inexplicable events, all of which had rocked the Wizarding World over and over.

    Severus Snape had always been excellent at recognizing patterns. It was part of what had made him such a successful spy during the war, and likely the only reason he was still alive. That is exactly how he knew something catastrophic was coming for him specifically, he just didn’t know what.

    There was no way he could have anticipated his catastrophic event being the arrival of a new master, a curly-headed witch covered in scars and surrounded by secrets, whom he would serve endlessly.

    Summary

    October 1998. The war is over, the survivors are picking up the pieces, and Severus Snape is trying very hard to leave an Order party without talking to anyone.

    He fails.

    Two thirds of the Golden Trio find him in the corner with his Ogden's. Potter is missing a shoe. Weasley ends up on the floor. And somewhere in the middle of the chaos, Snape learns that Hermione Granger, the most relentlessly present person he'd ever had the misfortune of teaching, has been standing silent at the back of the room all evening; hiding behind her hair, slipping away before anyone could look at her too closely.

    She didn't ask for his concern. She probably doesn't want it. He goes looking for her anyway.

    What he finds in the overgrown garden of Grimmauld Place will change the carefully reconstructed shape of his post-war life.

    Updates will be posted every Sunday. Thank you for being here!

    The tags here relate to past events, that our protagonists are witnessing together. Neither are the perpetrators. While it touches on some difficult subjects, the actual story between these two is lovely <3 Give it a try!

    Summary

    Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts five years after the war as an accomplished witch who has built her life on control, competence, and the belief that she has mastered both.

    Severus Snape has never been interested in her campaign for praise. He is, however, very interested in the ways she refuses to yield to him and the far more dangerous moments when she chooses to.

    An exploration of Dominance, submission, and the quiet understanding that some fractures do not heal cleanly– and some people notice too much to leave them alone.
