Summary
What if Tonks went for Snape instead of Lupin? When Tonks takes Occlumency lessons with Snape, she sees things in his head he would have preferred to keep secret. In this story, Tonks and Snape negotiate a fragile relationship while fulfilling their duties for the Order..
“Why are you like this?”
Snape’s bony leg stiffens.
“If you’ve called me here to insult me Tonks…” But he doesn’t finish the thought or move away from her probing fingers. She strokes her hand up his thigh and back down as if gentling a horse.
“I’m not. I’m serious. Why are you like this?”
“Like what?” Snape spits.

Summary
** COMPLETED **
The new Ministry had fully exonerated Severus Snape for what he had done during the war and further awarded him with the Order of Merlin, First Class for his extraordinary work as a spy. It wasn't a popular move with the public, however, and Hermione Granger defended him to anyone who would listen, but even The Prophet grew weary of her advocacy. But after reading a magazine specializing in romance stories, she sees an opportunity to defend Professor Snape once more by way of a tale about the recent war featuring a character very much like the irascible and unsociable potions professor. Adopting a pseudonym to hide her identity, she carefully weaves the people she knows into the plot through subsidiary roles. When the story takes off - especially with the young women of Hogwarts - it disrupts the school in a variety of ways, but no one is more upset, infuriated, or seriously hacked-off by it all than the model for the protagonist, and when he finds out who the author is, he plans to eviscerate them. But as it progresses, the story becomes far more than a simple matter of rehabilitation for the two people most closely touched by the tale.

Maybe the best of the “Years 6/7 but secret romance” stories. Very romantic, very well-characterized, very well-written.

Cave Malafides dona ferentes. Was that right? Beware of Malfoys bearing gifts... It was an easy rule to remember, so how had Hermione allowed herself to end up going home with such an unexpected new find?

Nice romance, but what makes it is the Snape/McGonagall friendship.
