Title: The Healing of Lethe

Rating: NC-17
Warnings: None
Summary: After the end of the war, Severus builds a life without his memories or magic.
A/N: Pinch hitting is fun: there's no time to procrastinate, one can just get on with it! Thanks to my beta, Hikisp04, and the Snarry Swap mods! quill_lumos, you asked for plot and a snarky Snape—I tried for snarky, but darn it if Harry didn't keep wearing Snape down! I hope I was able to deliver the rest to your satisfaction! This story is mainly DH-complaint, though the timeline is modified, and there are several obvious changes.

I liked your way of describing Severus’ life without past, how he was haunted by the dream and the unanswered questions, and how the ”beautifully carved stick” seemed to offer him some comfort. I loved the scene where he found Spinner’s End and how he later accidentally ”summoned” Harry to his doorstep. Harry was so mature, good-natured and helpful. I particularly liked the way in which he persuaded Severus to brew and drink the potion. Lovely story.

	I really wanted to show that Severus' magic was strong enough to hint at its presence even though he'd lost all of his memories, so I'm glad that came across! The characterization is also important to me, as well, I really wanted to show how much they'd both 'grown up' since the battle and their time at Hogwarts. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
