When Harry is given a detention by Snape, he discovers he is expected to look after Snape’s collection of exotic snakes. As the detentions continue

It was, in a way, the fulfillment of Harry’s one simple wish, which was to have a safe, quiet place away from the madness that had broken out all over the wizarding world. Strange how Snape was the one who had offered it to him.

The story builds slowly, with a very good plot revolving around Snape's snakes, until Harry and Snape are finally able to admit what they both want. By this time, Harry has learned quite a few things about his professor.

Snape said nothing. He was, Harry knew, the kind of man who would always say no but never said yes. Yes was in his silence ...

I very much like stories where Harry uses Parselmouth, and there are some lovely Parseltongue scenes in this story, especially here:

"Hithaasstra sstissah," Harry hissed softly, raising goosebumps on his own arms with the sound.

"Stop it," Snape snapped, but his eyes were glittering black, locked onto Harry’s; trapped. It had only taken that one small thing to capture Snape’s attention completely.

A well written, sexy story - the only complaint I have is that it ends a little suddenly. The author explains this here. (Warning: this comment does contain a spoiler for the story.)

Well worth reading, and if you like Parselmouth fics, check out painless_j's list here.
