Summary
Harry Potter is being ignored by everyone who’s supposed to care, takes a fall off a ladder and wakes up in a hospital. With nowhere left to go and a deep mistrust of adult intervention, he escapes to London for a night where things, naturally, get worse. He’s got no plan, a bruised skull, and a wand he’s not allowed to use. What he does get is Severus Snape, pressed into reluctant babysitter duty by Dumbledore himself.

Summary
My dearest readers,
Have you missed me? Of course you have. My deepest apologies for the lengthy absence, — but I promise, it was for good reason. You see, I’ve been working on something rather big. Monumental, even. The kind of revelation that makes you gasp over your morning tea. And I decided you, my most devoted Prophet subscribers, deserved to hear it first. So, each week, right here in my column, I’ll share exclusive pieces of my newest serial: Yours, Always — Lily
You read correctly. Lily. As in Potter. This serial is drawn from letters written between two tragic lovers who risked everything for family. It's a story of love & sacrifice that will captivate, entrance, & — dare I say — break your heart. The best part? It's all true.
You think you know the story? Well readers — here’s where you’ll want to lean in — this is not the story of Lily and James.
I, your humble reporter Rita Skeeter, bring to you:
"Yours, Always
— Lily"
In a world steeped with light/dark and blood politics, Veela heritage, and magically powerful cores, Rita Skeeter releases secret letters between Snape and Lily in the Prophet during the golden trios 6th year. What happens next?

Summary
AU where Severus Snape is tasked with retrieving Harry Potter from his relatives in the summer before Harry's 5th year rather than the other Order members.
Also featuring: a supportive Remus and Sirius, a sassy and devoted pet snake, a stable Golden Trio, Professor Harry Potter, and a really cool (and possibly sentient?) library.
In other words, this is OOTP but better.

Summary
Severus had been ready to die, he hadn't expected to find himself back to a time when he was still to commit his greatest sins. He had not expected Lily to talk to him again.
After two decades spent fighting in a war, it's not immediately apparent to him that somewhere along the way he must've forgotten how to live. With a looming war on the horizon, he doesn't have much of a choice if he wants to protect her.

Summary
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

Summary
When Severus Snape banked on being dead at the end of a war, it was as much of a shock as a burden to find out he was very much alive. He'd rather welcome oblivion and be known as a hero, than watch himself become a listless ghost of his former self. He never expected his Life After Death would contain much but living an isolated, quiet, life. Instead he somehow ended up returning to Hogwarts to teach, becoming involved in student affairs he'd rather stay far removed from, and most importantly, having copious amounts of sex with his old childhood enemy- Remus Lupin.
Recovery is a fickle and long road, and he certainly didn't expect his would involve accepting Remus as part of it.

Summary
Ever since the events of his fourth year, Harry Potter has been drowning. He’d already been struggling for years, and a mixture of fresh trauma, mounting pressure, and disturbing nightmares is pushing him closer and closer to the edge.
His friends see him falling apart more and more, but they’re powerless to help him. The adults in his life are willing to turn a blind eye to his ever-increasing issues, so long as they’re able to maintain their idea of a savior and keep their plans in place.When Harry Potter arrived at Hogwarts, Severus Snape's life became exponentially harder as he tried to field threats against a boy he didn’t even like and take up spy work again at the same time. With the return of the Dark Lord, Severus also suddenly had to work to protect his godson from the threat looming over them; if Draco fell into the Dark Lord’s hands like his father, he would never escape.
Severus is content to allow the obvious problems rising in Potter to be addressed by the boy’s other teachers, and the people who cared for him. However, as more issues arose and intensified, one thing became obvious: Severus may be the only person with both the power to help Potter, and the will to do so.- Language:

Summary
Defiance of authority and lack of respect did not source from Harry's arrogance, it came from something much simpler - love. The absence of parental love in his life made Harry remorseful toward those who should have cared. It was Snape’s turn to change Harry's mind.

Summary
Upon surviving the Battle of Hogwarts, Severus Snape is at a loss. For nearly twenty years, he devoted his life to defeating the Dark Lord and protecting Harry Potter. Now, with the war over and the Boy-Who-Lived safe, he finds he has precious little left to fight for — until a chance therapy session shows him that he ought to be fighting for himself.
With the war coming to a close and Wizarding Britain starting to rebuild, Severus starts on a journey to find meaning and joy in a life that’s given him little of either, discovering what it truly means to value himself and his own happiness.

Summary
As the summer stretches on, Harry feels a change within him. He hadn’t realized how hard he’d clung to his childhood innocence until it was ripped from him too soon. It died in that cemetery along with Cedric Diggory. He feels the gaping wound it left behind. It’s fleshy and tender and aching. Bitterness fills it.
What once was raw and vulnerable crystallizes into something much more solid and resolute. He imagines the weeping flesh around his heart becoming smooth, black marble.
OR
Harry is formally expelled from Hogwarts after the dementor incident at the end of summer. Upon his re-enrollment, he must suffer the sorting hat once more. Everyone he knows thinks it’s a ridiculous formality that will end with him being placed back in Gryffindor. Harry’s not sure he shares their confidence.Something has shifted inside him after the events of the graveyard; or maybe it’s been broken. Either way, he feels changed. This, along with other developments over the summer leave him wondering if he no longer fits into his old house. He’s got bigger things to worry about, though. Besides, what difference does it make, which house he’s in?
As it turns out, it makes all the difference.
