Summary
Sequel to Alium. You'd need to read that first for this to make any sense.
It had been a whirlwind of a few days, despite Severus having been at the castle for longer than usual over the summer. He was ahead in his brewing but behind in updating his lesson plans and making his timetable for meetings with the Slytherins, and then there were the usual pre-term meetings that Dumbledore insisted on holding. Keeping an eye on Harry over the summer had not been quite as onerous as Severus had feared, but the new puzzle of his horcrux, in addition to fitting in increased Death Eater duties to excuse his limited availability, had proven to be a substantial drain on his time.
Harry's sixth year begins, but with full awareness of the horcrux in his head and with Snape at his side.

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
Nella Rose Potter, the Girl Who Lived.
Under the stairs at the moment, though not for long. She's about to receive a letter that will make things a whole lot worse before they get better.
***“I am not in the habit of returning house points once they have been lost, Miss Potter. Among us little people at least, choices have consequences. If that’s all —”
“It’s not that, sir,” she hastened to explain, surprising him once more. Most students were only too eager to latch onto anything that resembled a dismissal from his presence, and no one — ever — interrupted him. “I-I understand. I just… I live with my aunt and uncle, you see. They’re muggles.”
Snape didn’t answer, but the girl plowed doggedly on.
“Well, th-there was an a-accident at the end of the summer, sir. S-some of my potions ingredients spilled in my trunk, and I didn’t know w-what to do... M-my relatives thought I might get help at school?”
She swallowed hard, then reached into her bag and pulled out a horror of a textbook. The entire mold-stained cover slid off as she moved to set it on his desk, and a handful of ragged pages scattered as the book block landed on his desk with a damp thud.

Summary
"For the first time ever, Severus found himself acquiring a new postal owl. A spark of mercy, coupled with practical necessity, led him to purchase a small wilderfolk little owl. Little did he know that, years later, this creature would turn out to be none other than The Girl Who Lived."

Summary
*Sequel to The Wolf Wakes*
_
"You look like shit, Chuckles.”
Solas’ lips twitch, just slightly, and in the dim light he raises his head and looks Varric in the eye.
“Is that how you would introduce me, were I a character in one of your books? I’m curious. If you were writing me into being, what words would you choose?”
__
After losing Athera and giving his orb to Corypheus, Solas has no choice but to join the fledgling Inquisition and try to make things right. But with a nosy dwarf and an even nosier spy master knowing far more of him than they should, this time everything is different. A wolf without a pack is vulnerable, and Solas is in no state to play games.
Now updated with art by @yolebrat and @CourtneyCranberry!
