Summary
Misery.
Severus Snape made his name on it. His discontent motivated each of his many successes and fueled every one of his innumerable mistakes. Sometimes he kept it at bay, but more often he didn’t bother. Tonight he meant to thrive on it, embody it, let it bubble up inside him until he overflowed with the sour bile of self-hatred.
In which Snape takes a deep dive into memory lane.

Summary
“Remus, he needs someone who can connect with him…” Minerva’s voice had a desperate edge to it, “He doesn’t trust us.”
“And you think he’ll trust me? I’m as much a stranger to him as you.” He turned his eyes to Dumbledore, pushing past the discomfort as they made eye contact and his soul was pierced by the shrewd gaze.
“We think he may trust you because you and he have similar… backgrounds.”
He frowns at her, trying to put the pieces of what she’s saying together. Similar backgrounds? Shitty childhoods, maybe?
“Harry was not attacked.” Dumbledore says, breaking the silence, “He perpetrated it.”
A cold chill runs through Remus’ body. His mouth is suddenly far too dry and he feels as if bands wrap around his chest. He shakes his head.
“What?” He wheezes out, feeling all at once that his chest will cave in when he hears what Dumbledore has to say.
“I’m sorry to have to tell you this.” Dumbledore sounds truly grieved, and Remus feels bile rise in his throat. He’d used that same tone of voice when he’d found him after news about James and Lily, Peter and Sirius had broken. Had it really already been four years since he’d lost them?
“Harry is an Obscurial.”

Summary
“Ironic, isn’t it,” Margaret said, keeping her eyes fixed on the road. “Other people get to have ten-year reunions. They get to go to some fancy venue, dress up, and brag about how incredibly successful they have become. We get a nine-year reunion, and it’s a goodbye.”
Nine years in an eternity. Nine years is the blink of an eye. On a dark August night in 1962, the news of Colonel Potter's passing reaches Margaret and Hawkeye, and they have to leave the white house by the ocean behind, and travel to Hannibal. Meet their old friends again. That strange family bound together by blood, cold, rain, last breaths, too many drinks and a constant dance on the thin line to insanity. They have to say goodbye to the man who was once there, right in the middle, when the bond between them all formed. The chain that can never be broken.
