Other pairings/threesome: None
Rating: Explicit
Word count: 12035
Content/Warning(s): Getting together, the Half-Blood Prince, Some sexual content, Epistolary
Prompter/Prompt: No. 20 from [personal profile] likelightinglass: A fic focused around the Half Blood Prince's book and Harry's reaction to it. Especially love the trope of Harry magically communicating through it to a younger Severus. Or in addition to potions information, Severus wrote a variety of personal things in the book and Harry connects to it.
Summary: Prompt 20 asked for 'A fic focused around the Half-Blood Prince's book and Harry's reaction to it.' This fic focuses on the book, Harry's reaction to it, Severus' reaction to that, and the various difficulties of moving on after a war has ended.
A/N: A big thank you to the prompter, the mods, and my excellent and dedicated and also brilliant betas - Lilian and Bleedcolor. As proof that inspiration can come from the strangest places, this title is from a translated statement by Mr Olhaye. "... face aux défis avec courage, confiance et un certain optimisme" - from the 92nd plenary session of the 62nd General Assembly of the UN.
