Summary
Mary Elizabeth Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts was a catastrophe. Four people are dead, among them international celebrity Viktor Krum. Mary's grandfather, the Dark Lord, has returned, with Bellatrix at his side. Mary and her mentor, Severus Snape, barely escaped with their lives. With his cover as a spy blown, Snape can no longer return to the Death Eaters. And, of course, no one but Snape knows what Mary did to survive.
Now, against the wishes of her former guardian, Professor McGonagall, Mary has moved into Grimmauld Place and dedicated herself to the war effort, while Snape has fled to America to beg the help of an old enemy. With the Dark Lord out for blood, the Ministry determined to discredit them, and Slytherin House divided, Mary and Snape will need each other more than ever... but their growing dependence on each other might be the greatest danger of all.
Updates every weekend.

Summary
Harry Potter has no desire to join the Auror Office. The war left him hollowed out, uncertain, and quietly adrift. He wants a life that builds rather than destroys, a life with meaning, but he has no idea where to begin. Advice feels impossible to ask for, yet he finds himself turning to the one person who has always offered him honesty without flattery: Minerva McGonagall.
Her suggestion is unexpected.
Her solution is even more so.Apprentice to a Hogwarts Professor, supporting their workload gaining his own mastery: an advanced Defensive Magic qualification; playing to his strengths with the challenge of learning from a master. The sting in the tail is the identity of the master:
Deputy Headmaster Severus Snape.
Snape is sharp, disciplined, and infuriatingly perceptive. Harry is lost and trying not to show it. Their forced partnership becomes a slow, delicate unraveling — of assumptions, old wounds and the quiet truths that neither man has dared to face.

Summary
Severus Snape is dying from Nagini's venom Post Wizarding war. Harriet Potter (with the help of Hermione) hatches a daring, intimate plan to yank a venom-riddled Snape back from death’s door using ancient magic. What could possibly go wrong? Spoiler: everything, in the most deliciously cursed, looping, and unexpectedly familial way imaginable. Wish magic doesn’t do half-measures.

Summary
People vanish in Portmere. They always have.
When Auror Harry Potter is sent to investigate the disappearance of a Ministry Herbologist, he expects a routine case. What he doesn't expect is a town where magic is too strong, a coastline that turns deadly without warning, and a local legend that may be more than just a fairy tale.
After one reckless mistake, Harry is thrown back to 1980, and straight into an uneasy alliance with a younger Severus Snape whose death he has never quite been able to leave behind.
But this is not the man he mourned, or the man he rebuilt in memory.
Harry knows he shouldn't trust him. Knows he shouldn't want anything from him.But fate has never cared much for what Harry wants and Portmere is full of things that don’t behave the way they should.

Summary
Inspired by prompt: harry's gotten stronger and in a round of truth or dare he's dared to pick Snape up -- he's tall and so must be heavy right? He does, getting zapped/stunned for his actions but he realises how light and thin Severus is, despite his apppearance with his layers of flowing robes. harry becomes invested in severus' wellbeing and severus finds he cant shake him off. im thinking, plates of food turning up, harry learning his habits when marking or making potions and makes sure he drinks and eats. eventually becomes bold enough to make sure he has time to rest and help him in person.
