SNARRY-A-THON12: FIC: That Which Makes Us Weep
Title: That Which Makes Us Weep
Author: roozetter
Other pairings/threesome: Past Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Ginny/Dean, random next-gen pairings
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 19,224
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Minor character death, natural causes*
Prompt: Wild Card #2, which turned into -- #15: Epilogue-compliant except for the presumption Snape is dead: They don't get together until Harry is divorced and has grandkids, so there's no tight jeans or smooth skin in sight. Just wrinkles and cardigans and gray hair and adorable old dudes in love. Bonus points for Snape pulling off snarky sappiness in his old age.
Summary: After the war the Wizarding World looks to Harry to give them hope. So he does. And Love, Joy, Grief, Understanding, Pain, Courage, and Strength. He makes his living giving pieces of his emotions to the world and is happy to do so, in fact. Until Severus Snape contacts him one day and asks for Redemption.
A/N: Title from the quote: “Any fool can be happy. It takes a man with a real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep” ~ Clive Barker. Also - Harry is sixty-three in this story, and Severus is eighty-three. I hate doing math, so thought I would save all the readers the trouble of figuring that out. You’re welcome.
