Harry Potter, seventeen, abused and broken but determined not to show it, has been in the care system since he was ten, and about to age out in the next ten months. He needs all the help he can get, if only he would be willing to accept it.
Severus Snape, thirty-eight, is a social worker and is a little too obsessed with a romance series and is married to his work, despite what his co-workers want for him.
When Severus meets Harry and their worlds collide - literally - they are left wondering if all is as they thought it was, and if there is hope for a better tomorrow.
Two teens with broken pasts, what's the worse that can happen? Severus Snape and y/n y/l/n form a bond over cigarettes and alcohol, it's all unicorns and rainbows until they one day get caught.
What happens after that? Will the duo ever make amends? Will the dark and brooding professor ever end up with his highschool sweetheart?
A/n: Any smut that will be contained in the story will have warnings. For any of you that don't read parts like that. There will be trigger warnings such as SH so if that's a sensitive topic for you please skip it when it gives you the warnings.
I don't own any of the characters, they belong to J.K Rowling
