Redemption of a Potion Master

This is a rewrite of When I'm Sixty-Four, a drama/romance with Severus Snape...

Severus Snape. Cold-hearted, cruel, and ruthless to those who know him. A hated man who seems to have nothing but a dark contempt for life, but within the darkness also lies a terrible secret as well as guilt and pain. A man who struggles to find a spark of hope amidst the bleak grey that has become his life, a life that he yearns desperately to be freed from. (SS/OCF, AU)
