    Summary

    For the second time in just over a year, Niles and Martin found themselves sitting at the front of a funeral service. Yet, unlike the last time, they found themselves more concerned with someone else’s well-being than their own.
    Fifteen-month-old Freddie wiggled on his grandfather’s lap. He didn’t understand what was going on and why he couldn’t get down on the floor to toddle along the pew.
    And just when they begin to settle into this new life, something comes along to rock it all over again.

    Summary

    The story of how Grissom and Sara become a couple in Las Vegas. Canon compliant.

    "This year, things have been so different between her and Grissom. Mostly, she swears he wants nothing to do with her, but then there are times when she knows better, when they get close to each other, and the way he looks at her could burn her to the ground. There’s what he said, wrapping the Marlin case—what she overheard him say, from the observation deck. There are times when she thinks that if she said the right words to him, she could burn him to the ground, too."

    Summary

    Severus Snape’s life was changed when he was hit by an errant spell, and he comes to a decision that defies Dumbledore’s wishes. Even the fate of the wizarding world is altered by this ill-cast curse and Snape’s subsequent resolve.

    Long after the spell has dissipated, its effects continue echoing in the lives of Severus, Albus, Minerva, and Hermione, and they bring with them a shadowy figure whom Snape does not trust and whose motivations and influence on Minerva are murky. Not all is as it seems, and conspiracies and schemes swirl around Severus as he continues on his path of deception to his final confrontation with the Dark Lord. A “Light” fic of love, loyalty, and redemption.

    A "DH-twister." AU post-July 1996. Not DH-compliant. (Partially HBP-compliant.)

    Pertinent warnings in individual chapter summaries. Most content T-rated, some M- and MA-rated content.

    Self-contained novel; part of the "Death's Dominion" set of stories, but can stand alone.

    First Place in the HP Fanfic Fanpoll Awards, Gen Fiction - Best Legacy Story.

    Note: Chapter 35 consists of the appendix of spells and other information.
