    Summary

    When Sirius Black and Severus Snape breathe the fumes of a potion meant to reveal one’s actual desires, they don’t expect what’s revealed to them.

    Or: My take on the “Snack has too much sexual tension while they’re at Hogwarts and freak out after they go from fighting to acting on it” trope.

    Summary

    Sirius wailed, tears falling onto James’ cold skin as he held him. The only thing that made him pause was the shrill cry of a baby inside the room next door. Sirius propped James up against the wall, touched his face one more time, and swiftly ducked into the room.

    Lily was dead. Harry was not.
    ...
    Or, a cannon-adjacent fic where Sirius, Severus, and Remus try to get over their differences to protect Harry from his only living family. They move in next door and try to play a nice group of muggle roommates. Tensions rise; will they fight to the death, or will past hatred turn into something else? I don't know yet, so we'll see where it goes!

    Summary

    Harry's summer after his fourth year is spent having to relieve the events of the third task each night, weighed down by guilt and trauma. He has never had it easy, but with the wizarding world turning on him, he feels more alone than ever.
    After the dementor attack and being forced out of No4 privet drive, he spends his summer at Grimmauld far from happy. His friends and godfather do nothing to ease his turbulent mind.

    His fifth year at Hogwarts begins as he spirals into depression, turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms. It seems no one is able to save him from his worst enemy: his own mind.
    He has not only this to contend with, but a malicious Dolores Umbridge who is out to get him. Despite this, Harry refuses to seek the help he needs.

    Harry's descent is brought to the attention of Severus Snape, much to his distaste. As no one else intervenes, will the potions master be able to move past his grudge against the boy and help before it is too late?

    Summary

    It all began with a letter in that Snape boy’s hand.

    Professor Minerva McGonagall had always tried to be fair and just.
    But in a world of rising division and bigotry during a time filled with growing despair and utter mistrust as a dark enemy forces the world apart in a silent war, Minvera perhaps had lost sight of the small nuances and details that made life so three dimensional.
    Perhaps she herself fell victim to assumptions and misconceptions and their power to color one's own perspective in the wrong shade.
    Perhaps in her attempt to guide the next generation of wizards onto a better path, she had misjudged who needed her helping hand the most.

    Or perhaps she should've just taken the damn letter.

    Or: It all began with a letter. It all got derailed when a random girl met an unwilling Severus Snape and decided: That one! That one will be my new brother.

    Summary

    Side plots, alternate POVs and bonus scenes from Haruno Sakura: Psychopath and Saviour of the World. Like the gunk in the bottom of the pan after you fry a bunch of meat and vegetables. Its packed with flavour but not good enough to go in the sauce. Well, unless you deglaze it with wine but sometimes you just don't want the extra liquid and... wait, where was this metaphor going?
