Severus Snape is the man in the plan. He doesn't know the whole plan. Yet he orchestrates it. Alone and living in solitude. He does fairly well in secrecy. Mostly because he has to. Becoming his friend or lover would be dangerous. Much too dangerous for anyone to cross the divide. But he meets a woman named Seren, a bold Thunderbird who has no fear. Can they maintain a relationship with no feelings involved? Can her company keep him grounded without compromising the plan?

Severus Snape finds himself alive after the war, saved by none other than the insufferable know-it-all. But did he even want to be saved? Hermione on the other hand finds herself unconsciously, albeit dangerously drawn to the broken man. She vows to herself that if he needs her, she'll be there. But you can only help someone who wants to be helped.... What happens when he finds himself face-to-face with just the person he was trying to avoid, because she makes him forget everything he thought he knew about himself?

Severus Snape lives his life in shadows with the goal of redemption and the specter of his demise at the forefront of his life. People he trusted always used him and gave up on him. He never thought someone would ever believe that he could be loved and redeemed. And he never thought he'd ever discover a desire to live and come to a realization that perhaps not all is lost.
