A Long Vernal Season

The final, incomplete, story from the author's epic "RAMverse" series, this fic currently clocks in at over 600,000 words, so it scarcely matters that it isn't complete--it's a highly satifying read. Alongside MMADfan's signature world-building and OCs, this fic delivers the most compelling portrait of Severus Snape dealing with an unexpected post-war survival. He's muddled, confused, angry, grateful, (and very, very randy). He is trying very hard to make amends and become a different man--one who might even begin to enjoy life--but the regrets and scars of his past make it difficult. He finds help--and possibly redemption--in some surprising places. The plot contains twists and turns that aren't entirely resolved by the time the author apparently abandoned the fic, but it's fun to imagine how they might have played out. (And one can still hope MMADfan is around and will pick it back up eventually.)
