A Long Vernal Season

by MMADfan


1. Prologue: Return   T (PG-13)  [Reviews - 12]
Summary: Severus Snape had believed that, for him, life after the Dark Lord was an impossibility, that his death was not merely justice, but necessity. He has survived, though, and now he must learn to live his new, unexpected life, and to find something beyond the narrow existence to which he was once bound. A post-war fic.

Snape-centric Death’s Dominion sequel. Not DH-compliant. DH-disregarded. First chapters rated T, but ratings for individual chapters will rise later. Watch the individual chapter summaries and author’s notes for ratings, warnings, and the characters appearing in that chapter.

Part One finds Severus dealing with some very immediate and dangerous consequences of his final confrontation with the Dark Lord more than three months before.
