Characters: Snape/Sirius (with appearances by Harry, Remus, Dumbledore, and a small army of others)

Rating: adult/NC-17

Content Info: *rough (but consensual) sex, more snark than you can shake a wand at*

Summary: When Sirius returns from beyond the Veil with knowledge of Voldemort's Horcruxes, he takes on the task of finding and destroying them. Somewhere along the way he finds an unexpected ally and perhaps something more. (AU from the end of OotP, takes place during HBP period)

Disclaimer: The world of HP and its characters belongs to Rowling.

Author Notes: 7types, you said that you'd like to see Severus and Sirius resolve their fraught history. I believe they've managed that here, even if it took them 26K words to do so!

Heaps and heaps of gratitude to everyone who served as brainstorm buddy, cheerleader, sympathetic ear, and/or beta during the creation of this monster.

Stories like this are what remind me why Snape/Black is my OTP. :)

The level of thought and detail that went into this story are impressive and I love that the sex -isn't- the main focus but rather it's just a really well told story that just happens to have wonderful sex scenes in it.

The development of the relationship is gradual and believable and Snape's reservations about letting Sirius close to his heart are just so true to the character. You really nailed what makes Snape so appealing and frustrating at the same time. I also love the development of Sirius as a more mature but still cheeky and slightly reckless man. He's still Sirius but changed in a way that is credible for how someone would be after a close brush with (permanent) death.

It would be very easy for me to gush (I probably already have) since there is a lot here that just made me smile but I'll just say this was a really nice way to end what has been an otherwise trying day. Thank you for this!

Uh, hi! ::waves:: Yeeaaah, this is the latest reply to a comment pretty much in the history of EVAR. ::epic headdesk:: Still, even though it's three months late, I wanted to let you know that I appreciated your comment. ♥ ♥

I'm so glad the relationship development worked here. And yeah, I figured if death didn't mature Sirius a bit, nothing would -- but he's never gonna stop being an idiot Gryffindor. ;D

Gah, that's what I love about this pairing. They can hurt each other over and over again and just not see it even though it's right in front of their faces.

Thanks again!!!
