Summary: Severus comes to terms with life as a portrait.

Summary: A little over a year after Severus' death, his widow has his remains moved to their hometown. Harry attends the funeral and gets a glimpse of the life Severus had kept hidden from the wizarding world.

Notes: Song lyrics quoted are from "The Water is Wide," a traditional folk song, and from "At My Funeral," by the Crash Test Dummies (on their 1991 album titled, appropriately enough, The Ghosts That Haunt Me). Also in this story: Spot the Hemingway allusion!

Summary: To the end, he had to pretend he hadn't changed a bit. The best of him, Severus resolved, never would be Dumbledore's to reveal.

Note 1: As much as I'm enjoying writing an AU in which Severus ended up marrying Lily, I also wanted to explore how his capacity for love might have evolved in the life that he actually ended up living. So here's one way it might have unfolded: Details are my own invention, but I'd like to believe that, somewhere off the Hogwarts radar screen, something like this really happened.

Note 2: The opening verse is from a poem of mine, because I like to quote myself it fit the story so well.
