Severus Sighs

All,

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who participated in the fest, whether by creating art or writing fic, or by betaing and commenting. We appreciate you! Thank you for making our fourth AVD fest a huge success. Please feel free to repost your fic or art on your own journals.

We came, we broke hearts, shredded hope, burned the flowers, drugged the participants, killed random people, had crazy sex, and redefined how this holiday should go down.

Just writing that? Crazy smiling mods, yo. Crazy. Smiling. Mods.

So if you missed some of the awesomeness, have a little drink, put something appropriate on to listen to, and dig in!

Disclaimer: Severus Snape, Harry Potter and the Wizarding world at large belong to JKR, et.al.; I just brought them out to live a little.
Summary: In the aftermath of the Wizarding War, Snape seeks out help in an unlikely corner of the world. This story is a continuation of the story begun in in medias res
A/N: In lieu of notes, I have a Pinterest board entitled The Leaning Grasses that gives illustrations of many of the cultural details that crop up in this story (they begin at the bottom of the page, not the top). I’d like to thank caecelia  for her insightful comments on early sections of this story, and heartfelt appreciation goes to my betas, suitesamba ,whose enthusiastic cheerleading and keen eye were instrumental in finishing this fic, and jeshakeoma  who has held my hand every step of the way, and without whose suggestions this story would not have been written. All missteps and mistakes are mine. Please forgive the crosspostings; as the first fic debuted on severus_sighs, I wanted to post the continuation here as well.
