Summary: After a long life together, Severus and Harry embrace the final frontier. Death fic.
One of the great things about being a Submissions Moderator on
Walking The Plank is the opportunity to read stories I would have otherwise missed. This story captured my interest.
We look at Snape and Harry at the end of a long (and we assume, fruitful) life together. Time and age are wearing them down but they wish to meet the end with dignity. It brings to mind Simon & Garfunkel's
Old Friends, Bookends, although Harry and Snape are in a romantic relationship.
There was one thing towards the end that made me pull a bit of a face, but overall I enjoyed reading a story that didn't belabor their past and let me be happy that they were, in this as in all things, together.
