Summary
When Hermione Granger stumbles back into Hogwarts with a deadly injury and no memory of how she survived, Severus Snape finds himself forced into the role of reluctant savior. In a war-torn world where trust is a luxury and every decision is a gamble, the choices they make—driven by necessity, not desire—set them on a path neither expected. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, a desperate alliance becomes something far more complicated.
What begins as a grim medical rescue spirals into political danger, a forced marriage, and a fight for survival under the eyes of the Dark Lord himself. In the face of irreversible loss, shifting power, and the ghost of a future that might never come, Hermione and Severus must navigate the abyss between duty and something dangerously close to love.
A slow-burn, emotionally charged tale of trauma, sacrifice, and the fragile humanity that persists even in the darkest of times.

Summary
Years after the war, Hermione Granger seems to have it all together—an esteemed teaching post, promising research, and a life free of dark magic. But beneath the surface, something is unraveling. Haunted by a secret buried deep in her bloodline and chased by shadows of a past she can't outrun, she turns to the one person she never expected to need: Severus Snape.
What begins as a pragmatic partnership rooted in mutual disdain slowly unspools into something far more complex. As their work deepens and boundaries blur, the lines between obligation and choice, bitterness and care, begin to collapse. And when Minerva McGonagall starts asking questions—and watching too closely—Hermione realizes the truth might be the most dangerous thing of all.
A taut, emotionally charged exploration of identity, control, and the fragile trust forged in the aftermath of war. Secrets burn. Trust cuts deeper. And nothing—absolutely nothing—is what it seems.
