In their sixth year at Hogwarts, Severus Snape and Remus Lupin are forced to face their shared pain and an unexpected bond. Severus, broken after a summer with his abusive father, turns to alcohol and self-inflicted harm to numb the pain of a soulmate mark he hates.When Remus finds him drunk and bleeding during prefect rounds, guilt over his friends’ cruelty mixes with a startling realization: they’re soulmates. As Severus’s walls begin to crumble, the two embark on a raw, messy journey from enemies to something more.
