SnarryBANG!: The Boggart

https://snape-potter.livejournal.com/4030008.html

Amidst swirling shadows of deep blue, Harry confronts a darker incarnation of Severus Snape. Their faces are inches apart and their chests are bare. One of Severus' hands is extended to Harry's temple while the other hovers over Harry's elbow. A faint green glow emanates from where a concealed Dark Mark -- not visible from this angle -- might be. Severus Snape is a shadow shape in contrast to Harry, surrounded by an orange glow. Harry's hands are raised to Severus' chest and neck, his touch shines with a bright yellow spell accompanied by faint magical motes swirling around the glow. Below them, set against the black background, the title The Boggart glows in vivid blue, followed by the authors' names: by Acid & Sinick.

Summary: Imprisoned and out of options, Severus encounters a friendly Boggart. Adrift after Voldemort's defeat, Harry allows his worst nightmare to become his guilty pleasure, that is until Severus asks for his help. Harry remembers the advancing Dementors and the Patronus cast on the night of Voldemort's final attack, but what really happened between them? And why does he keep suspecting that nothing will ever be the same?
