Summary
Harry Potter is unraveling.
He’s quieter now; more withdrawn, more tired. Between dreams haunted by Tom Riddle, growing isolation, and scars that never truly healed, Harry turns to the only thing that gives him control: art. But even sketching can’t keep the darkness at bay forever. The whispers never stop. The dreams grow darker. And his magic—wild, powerful, and unrefined—starts slipping through the cracks in ways even he can’t control.
Once again, Harry finds himself placed under the reluctant care of Professor Severus Snape for more Occlumency lessons and supervision. Neither of them is prepared for what follows.
Snape expects arrogance. Harry expects cruelty. What they find instead are pieces: of truth, of memory, of each other. As the boundaries between student and professor shift, long-buried trauma surfaces, secrets unravel, and the Horcrux inside Harry begins to take a toll neither of them expected.

Summary
When Harry is forced to endure a summer under Snape’s care, he’s uncertain he has the will to bear through whatever his professor has in store for him.
With the ghost of Cedric over his shoulder, the echo of his relatives’ treatment ringing in his ears, and the absence of anyone he thought still cared about him weighing on his chest, he knows that with just a little more pressure he may totally crumble.
As Harry is plagued by the many consequences of Voldemort’s return, Severus attempts to suffer through the burden of arming the boy’s mind against his original master, all while continuing his subterfuge at the Dark Lord’s feet.
When a connection of consciousness is wound between them, and certain truths about Harry are revealed, they have no choice but to bend to the consequences, and hope they emerge on the other side better for it.

A classic slow build Severitus fic with alternating perspectives between Harry and Severus, a unique take on Occlumency, and a lot of angst.

Summary
It was strange, but it was there.
In the darkness of Hogwarts, you are my comfort, my grounding, my everything.
And my heart was yours, in anyway and every way possible.
Yet...
Yet...
They had taken you away from me.
Dumbledore...
Voldemort...
And every single person out there.
They had yanked you from my embrace.
And now you are cold... So cold...
So, let me warm you up, yes?
Let me burn them, so that your body can regain its warmth.If the world robs you from me, I'll light it on fucking fire.

Summary
Children’s hair sometimes changes color as you grow. When he’s young enough for it not to be unusual, but old enough to know he’ll get in trouble for doing something ‘freakish’ again, Harry's hair goes from his father's dark locks to his mother's bright, most-likely-magical red hair.
It changes everything about who he identifies with, who he wants to grow up to be, and who he thinks he is. Instead of having James Potter as his idol, Lily turns out to be a much better influence.
So instead of seeing a scruffy, most-likely-muggleborn boy standing beside him in Madam Malkin's before their first year, Draco only has eyes for the scarlet-haired, green-eyed creature who just walked into his life. Not that Harry will ever notice, given he's trying to simply survive Hogwarts.Story Discord: https://discord.gg/8b7zt5PBHp

Summary
As usual summer before third year is really hard…
After an unfortunate incident with Aunt Marge, Harry finds himself staying with Snape and his live-in boyfriend of 12 years.
Only, Snape is just as awful as ever and his boyfriend is really cool and nice and makes Harry feel important… but as time goes on, it’s clear that all is not as it seems. Because Snape is actually… well, he’s not a decent guy, but he does care about protecting children from abuse, apparently.
But his boyfriend… It turns out that not all guys who seem good end up being good in the end. As he watches his professor’s relationship dissolve he can’t help feeling like an awful person for being an active participant in it.
It never once crosses his mind that Harry was being groomed and abused in a grossly different way than he was used to.
OR
Not only do old secrets get revealed, but Professor Snape’s boyfriend takes advantage of Harry while he’s staying there for the summer leading to shifts in perspective and possibly… healing?
