On Stand By.

Postwar, Snape develops a penchant for shady hookups, and Harry develops a penchant for Snape. When Harry tries flirting, Snape explains he isn’t good enough for Harry.

It’s utter tosh.

Nonetheless, Snape doesn’t flash his lust-darkened gaze and seductive smile Harry’s way. He gifts himself to boorish strangers. It hurts so bad Harry can’t breathe.

Harry knows Snape hates himself. He’s self-destructive, and loving him is madness. Still, Harry perseveres because Snape deserves it. The git’s heart has lost enough already. Snape is too good for sordid hookups. He deserves love. So Harry’s love stands by, waiting patiently for him.
