And here it is, the result of some creative outlining. Yes, the tags on this post probably don't make sense; I will be outlining what I now mean when I tag something fic-verse:ast. Otherwise, if you want a sharpish draught of unedited, nineteen-year-old Severus on a mission, read on.

A/N: Warning for adult themes and language. Also, here be dubious consent, graphic sexual descriptions, swearing and general adult theme. Please pretend that Aberforth Dumbledore has the same sort of Scottish accent as Craig Ferguson; trust me, it makes it all better. Pairing is kind of a spoiler: Aberforth/Severus.

Summary: The year is 1979. Severus Snape is 19, and has been commanded to be desperate. He obeys…with disconcerting results.

A/N: This is for everyone who’s been waiting for another chapter of AFY and starting to think it’s not going to happen, including me. This isn’t that ‘next chapter’; it’s something I’ve been feeling I should write for a while, something that fits best between A Mistaken Fate and A Fractured Year, and I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter Summary: Poppy Pomfrey takes things as they come.
