Fixing the grave error of the series. Who cares about historical facts when you have a couple with such chemistry?

A delightful slow romance. I enjoyed the original character a lot because we get a nuanced perspective on Snape through her eyes as an outsider.

Snape and Aurora try to unpuzzle the mystery that is Quirinius Quirrel. Interesting characterisations with some author liberties that make this one quite unique!

Bookmarker's Notes
This one's weird but incredibly enjoyable if you give it a go. It will take the story in a much different direction than you think around the half-point mark.

A well-structured Severitus story that leads us from the end of year 5 to (currently) year 7 Horcrux hunt.

Summary
Severus survives the war but finds himself limited as he recovers from his injuries - a mixture of the snakebite and lasting nerve/mental damage from the Cruciatus Curse. Unable to be as solitary as he once was, he finds himself opening to people that his former self would have been disgusted at. And also he has a cat - which would be enough to draw me in.
Yes, this will follow the 'canon' set in place by Moonstone, the fic this is inspired by. You have been warned!

Bookmarker's Notes
Sirius takes care of Severus first out of responsibility, later because he is the last remnant of his past, what, with everybody gone by the end of the war.
I love their dynamics, especially since it tackles the enemies to friends trope very well without any clichés.
