Summary
After the war, Severus retreats to the solitude of his dungeons. There are potions to brew, repair work to be done, and lessons to plan. But then Harry Potter begins turning up at all hours, wanting little more—it seems—than to irritate Severus. Severus doesn’t know what Potter wants. But he doesn’t know what he wants, either. From the original prompt: Severus knows it’s not love or even affection that brings Harry Potter to his rooms at night.

2. To put an end to: Settle
3. Always, continually
4. In spite of: Nevertheless“How are you feeling?” Harry asked, and hesitantly raised his hand to stroke over Severus’ back, over the ridges of old wounds, and the sinewy muscle wrapped around bone. His soldier, cast in iron and covered with a patina of scars. Merlin, he was so in love. “Did you sleep alright?”

2. A device designed to prevent inadvertent or hazardous operation“So…” Harry paused. “We’re a couple, and… you’re my… partner.”
“Oh, yes.” Severus started kissing a trail up Harry’s body, speaking against his skin. “Devoted. Faithful.” He could feel Harry’s heartbeat under his mouth, and it sped up just a little. And he liked that… rather a lot.
“And… we don’t have to hide anymore?”
“Not ever again.”

Sanctum
1. A sacred or holy place
2. An inviolably private place or retreatHarry wished Severus had drawn blood. Wished he’d made a scar. A token to take with him into war, like the scratches he’d left on Severus’ back after the hearing. He almost scoffed to think of that, now. The Governors. Lupin. The snatchers. Fools, all of them. As if anything on earth could keep Severus from him now. Severus himself had said it, ages ago. No grave, no pyre, not even the end of the world. Not even the falling sky. Nothing.

Solace:
1. comfort in grief : alleviation of grief or anxiety
2. a source of relief or consolationLove him enough, teach him enough, make him strong enough, and maybe it will be enough.
That was Severus’ mantra, now.
Love him, teach him, strengthen him, save him.
Over and over again, in his mind. Like wish, or a prayer.
Love him. Teach him. Strengthen him. Save him. Over and over and over.
It was the loudest at night, when Harry was asleep beside him. Intrusive, sometimes. Keeping him awake.
SAVE HIM.Series

Steady:
1. Not easily disturbed or upset
2. Constant in feeling, principle, purpose, or attachment“Why does it even matter if people get suspicious?” Harry lay back and stretched, and Severus watched him do it. He was almost cat-like, with an unselfconscious grace that took him off guard each time he saw it. It was how he looked on a broomstick. The absolute master of his body. Harry looked over at him staring, and smiled.
Oh, that smile.
Unguarded. Uncomplicated. Free, and easy. It made Severus feel drunk with power to put an expression like that on his face. He lifted one of Harry’s hands to his lips and kissed his knuckles. I love you, he thought. It was becoming almost routine, thinking that. I love you. Almost normal. Almost tolerable to hold in his mind, now.Series

Pacify
1. To allay the anger or agitation of
2. To reduce to a submissive stateShatter
1. To break at once into pieces
2. to damage badly : ruin“You think this will ease your suffering,” Severus said, squeezing Harry’s wrists still clasped in his hands. “But it won’t. It will destroy you.” I will destroy you.
“I want you to,” Harry murmured, and Severus' resistance wasn't enough to keep him from being pulled closer, Potter’s breath feathering across his lips. And in some ways, the fact that his eyes were closed made it worse - made the words whispered against his mouth all the more obscene: “I want you to tear me apart.”***
Harry and Severus tumble into an intensely inappropriate physical relationship after events at Headquarters spiral out of control. Severus, digging his heels in, tries to stop, but he is just not strong enough.
