Inspired by DH and REM's Everybody Hurts. Severus fixes his gaze on those green eyes and finds what it is to live. My tribute to my favourite and most loved character.

Various scenes from "Half-Blood Prince" from Severus Snape's perspective.

"You are one lucky girl. You leave home to spend some time with your fiancée and you come back future mother to the heir of an ex-convict, and empowered with unknown magical powers." "I like those kinds of holidays. But you forgot to mention that I got to wear lace garnet." He laughed, throwing his head back. "And you also forget the part where there's a lot of money. That alone would suffice to make my choice." "You're marrying me for the money?" I laughed. "Of course, dear. For the money and for the sex. Both are pretty abundant here." May or may not be AU. It depends on how you look at it.

I believe that there are further items of importance that reside there, which have yet to be discovered.

Mainly Harry, but with other characters thrown in here and there...

Severus can't distinguish between whether it's a nightmare or simply a dream. Lily is there to comfort him, whatever he decides.

Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom are determined to share the world together, but will Neville stop procrastinating his proposal to her? Cute, fluffy, and thoughtful ficlets about a favorite fanon pairing. Severus Snape subplot.
