Summary
Severus Snape never wanted to be a hero; that role belonged to the Gryffindors.
When a split-second decision to save Marlene McKinnon goes wrong, it feels less like doing the right thing and more like being punished for it.
With consequences closing in, Severus plans to keep his head down, survive his final year, and leave Hogwarts for good. Caught between the pull of the Dark and deliberate neutrality, he intends to leave behind his bullies, his mistake with Lily Evans, and the expectation that he will choose a side at all.
Then Sirius Black gets in the way.
Dosed with an aphrodisiac and trapped in a broom cupboard, one forbidden encounter entangles magic, survival, and desire in ways Severus can no longer control.
They cross a line neither of them can come back from.
