Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Mpreg, violence, references to 7th year violence and sexual assault (not Severus or Harry), facial (once), Severus bottoms (once). I've also distorted history, made up the deterioration of wizard/Church relations, and institutionalised some homophobia.* Plot-specific spoilers: *Eugenics, state-sponsored violence, infanticide, and forced sterilization, and attempted murder*
Summary: After the fall of Voldemort, Harry Potter fell in love with Severus Snape—and that is where our story begins. All Harry wanted was a quiet year to finish his education, but when the Sorting Hat raises the spectre of Voldemort reborn and Luna is telling him he's going to change the world, a quiet year becomes impossible.
A/N: I could not have written this story without a lot of help. Massive credit and tremendous thanks go to abrae for being an awesome friend, head cheerleader, executive beta extraordinaire, midwife, and ruthless editor. A big thank you to suitesamba for pre-reading and giving us a heads up to potential problems. I also give enormous props to the members and mods of the Snape-Potter community for their endless support.
