Summary
A letter that was never meant to be sent is sent. It's barely a note really, just a few words scribbled on a scrap of paper. It changes nothing. And yet.
Or: What Severus and Lily are up to in 1981 (not much if you ask them).

Summary
Harriet is back at Hogwarts for a final year. She doesn't quite know why, but what matters is that she is here.
Back at Hogwarts too, is Severus Snape. Most students don't quite know why – and they certainly wish he weren't – but what matters is that he is here. In particular, Harriet finds it matters to her.
There are also new additions to the school this year: werewolves enrolled in the brand-new Lupin Programme.
(Also, Hogwarts is back at Hogwarts, and it does know why.) -

Summary
Lord Voldemort is eagerly waiting for Dumbledore's demise. Unbeknownst to him yet, this actually means he is waiting for an old, white-bearded man with twinkly eyes and eccentric clothing to come down from the sky. Well, more accurately, to crash down from a tower, but that's just a detail.
The way he passes time, however, is no activity for a restless child on Christmas Eve.

Summary
*COMPLETE*
Three years have gone by since the end of the war, but Hermione’s past isn’t done catching up. Dolohov’s scar has transformed into a gaping wound, and the dark magic is spreading to her mind and soul.
While on a Ministry assignment at Azkaban, Hermione learns that the imprisoned Lucius Malfoy may be her only hope at a cure. But Lucius Malfoy isn’t fond of handing out favors. When she finally pays his price, the two are thrown back to the 18th century on a journey filled with new enemies, new mysteries, and new understanding of the consequentiality of love and time.
A Lucius/Hermione time travel epic.

Summary
Once upon a time, Harry Potter hid for two hours from Dudley in a chemistry classroom, while a nice graduate student explained about the scientific method and interesting facts about acids. A pebble thrown into the water causes ripples.
Contains, in no particular order: magic candymaking, Harry falling in love with a house, evil kitten Draco Malfoy, and Hermione attempting to apply logic to the wizarding world.

Lovely dynamics and spot on humour. This was fun.
Epilogue fic in the same vein, plus extra subtly sweet. -

Summary
Lily flips a page. “Alright, your turn. Regulus and Barty.”
Severus hums, businesslike. “Seven. Points for the hair. Subtract three for knowing Sirius.” A beat. “And Barty? He’s a six on potential. At present he’s… excessively gleeful. I'll say four”
“I think he's a ten” Lily ponders
“TEN??? He's a six at most”
OR
James overhears Lily and Severus playing the Muggle “rate them 1–10” game. Unfortunately, James hears his own rating. Even more unfortunately, he decides to fix it. With help (sabotage) from the Marauders, Regulus, and Barty, James embarks on a noble, idiotic mission: become a perfect 10 in Severus Snape’s eyes.

James Potter's Quest for a Perfect Score, jojoven
Fun and wit at the service of self-important adolescent silliness. Brilliant.
The Dumbledore cameo was absolutely flawless. -

Summary
NOW COMPLETE
What's more difficult than dealing with one Severus Snape? Dealing with two of them.
After Hermione mysteriously stumbles across a teenage Severus Snape in the Room of Requirement, she finds herself seeking out the companionship of the troubled young man more and more.
Meanwhile, the very adult Professor Snape finds himself in far closer quarters than he would like with a girl he tried to forget about long ago.
A story about love, fate, and two people who just can't manage to escape either.

Room for Two, IvyGreen1111
Perfect, simple, nicely wrapped up story. One thing I didn't quite adhere to was the fact that the younger Severus got forgotten a little bit in the second part of the story. As soon as things pick up with the older one, the relationship with the younger one is definitely put on the back burner and I thought that was a shame. I would have liked to see more of an overlap for Hermione.
Anyway, I still absolutely loved this. Has the vibes of a good old Snamione with time travel shenanigans and a teacher student relationship. -
that's the thing about illicit affairs by MellarkandArt

Summary
the typical Harry Potter with a terrible childhood story (okay maybe just a bit worse than the usual) but he's a Hufflepuff and Severus Snape is lowkey (and later on highkey) his adoptive parent.
