Waiting for the End

Every day, for as long as Severus could remember, was a battle. He forced himself to get up, forced himself to do something, all because there was a reason to go on. First, it was to be with Lily, then it was to save Lily, then it was to end the war. Poppy wanted him to know there was more than one reason, and he shouldn't be looking for the end. (positive ending)
