Author Notes: CarolineLamb, you inspired great things, dark things, a few strange things, too. I hope this offering shivers your timbers and fans the romantic fires. I know it did for me. I couldn’t make Severus walk the streets—he pulled his wand on me! But, I bent him until he kind of broke, so I hope this deviation from your original prompt won't be taken amiss.
Many thanks to Snupin Santa and the all your hard work. To the elves who go above and beyond every year, you all totally rock! To my beta, without whose hard work and fortitude I couldn't have done it, many, many thanks for pushing through the icky parts. Any remaining mistakes are mine.
