Summary: Two scenes from the life of Severus Snape.

Summary: "But he has been nothing but frozen for at least two decades, frozen into this being of truths and lies and an ultimate end. And this is simply a spell, simply mercy sacrificed, simply self forgotten for the others who will not understand and never forget, but none of that matters, he admonishes; he repeats, none of it."

(A glimpse into the mind of Snape; set during Half-Blood Prince.)
