    Summary

    Severus had been ready to die, he hadn't expected to find himself back to a time when he was still to commit his greatest sins. He had not expected Lily to talk to him again.

    After two decades spent fighting in a war, it's not immediately apparent to him that somewhere along the way he must've forgotten how to live. With a looming war on the horizon, he doesn't have much of a choice if he wants to protect her.

    Summary

    June 1969 was when the word found her - witch - delivered by a strange, disheveled and sharp-elbowed boy called Severus.

    In the soot-stained heart of Cokeworth, far from enchanted castles and moving staircases, Lily Evans and Severus Snape stole seven summers from time's stubborn march. Between broken bones and mended grudges, between flowers blooming out of season and roots that refused to take, Lily learns that magic has its limits, but still her hands keep reaching, reaching, reaching.

    Summary

    Neville Longbottom took in a deep, satisfying breath and looked down at his feet. His new shoes broke up the yellow warning lines at the edge of the platform, but he didn't move back. The pristine brogues made the mottled, old paint on the ground look worse and Neville wondered if he had ever looked better than any place he was before, but he still didn't move. He couldn't.

    Summary

    Luna doesn’t say anything, just squeezes his hand, and then goes back to digging. Harry eyes a spare spade next to her, and he grabs it. She doesn’t ask him what he’s doing wandering around in the middle of the night. She doesn’t ask him why he ended up in her back garden. He doesn’t ask her why she’s gardening at three in the morning. They know the answer and it’s the steady drumming of pain that’s beating inside both of them.

    -x-

    After the war, Harry and Luna find their way to each other.
