Severus Snape reflects on a winter's day long ago when the only thing he needed for happiness was a pair of brilliant emerald green eyes and radiant red hair. My first fanfic.

...And yet, he feared this girl, he did...For in her soul was all he knew of good...And if that light should turn and hide its head...What more reason would he need to walk with shadows hand in hand...For they had always begged to be his friend...

Halloween brings old ghosts to life and new life to old ghosts...even those who aren't dead at all.

Snape is man alone with his thoughts, even amongst a crowd, until of course, he isn't. Happy Birthday Professor Snape!

He feels a fool, of course. That he should love her, but she made it so easy to do so, slipping into his bruised and weary heart and forcing him, forcing him to feel these things again. It was a poor joke on fate's behalf...

"Why do you always drink absinthe?" she asked in murmured tones, eyeing the peridot liquid in the bubbled glass that he held between his slim, pale hands. A quick tale of a fateful night in Paris, a conversation, and an empty bottle of regret.

"When she spoke, it was as if a gunshot had sounded by his ear, it did ring so through his head. Twenty years of life had passed since he'd last heard that voice in such intimate proximity." Time is a gift and a thief. COMPLETE

Severus and Hermione are convinced they're not the perfect couple...until an unexpected source breaks it to them that they really don't have a choice. Hilarity ensues.

I wanted to tell you to leave, to go…go and live your life. I wanted you to understand that you were a silly girl to care for me…it would serve us both better for you to forget about the collateral damage of Severus Snape. He was beyond repair.

All her little secrets...Oh, it would be a violation; that was sure, but he had no illusions that he was ever an innocent. His thumb sank deeper into the fold of the page and the book spread itself for him as a willing little trollop, begging to be read.

Lily declares her feelings for Severus on his birthday...unfortunately, the note she plans to give him to tell him so falls into the wrong hands. Friendships are tested and because of one simple misunderstanding, lives are at stake. Abandoned. Will Delete

Severus meets a man he does not know and yet... “Do I know you man? Your face is oddly familiar to me.” “I have stood in your presence many times before, but we have never truly met, till now.”

The war is a distant memory and Severus, having survived, retains his teaching post at Hogwarts. Hermione too took a professorship after the fall of Voldermort. All these years later, has Snape finally seen enough of loneliness? COMPLETE.

Severus forgets an important occasion and Hermione lets him know that was a bit of a mistake. However, a little friendly interference throws some perspective on the situation. Valentine's fun! ZING!

Her face was flushed and her mind was trying to reconcile the events that had just taken place. "Sirius! I…James…I love James! Why did you? No!" She stood up, shock evident on her features." Written for Smile Life Away's Kissing in The Rain challenge.

I failed you..." No one knew her secret. She suspected he did, but neither of them ever said a word...and now the only thing left is everything but him.
