Summary
When Harry Potter's Hogwarts letter raises red flags for Severus Snape, he delivers the letter instead of letting Dumbledore handle it. Severus does not see a miniature James Potter when he encounters the scrawny child, drowning in clothes that don't fit and holding himself carefully away from his aunt like she might strike him at any moment. Severus is reminded only of himself.
Severus's choice to rescue Harry might damn him when Voldemort returns, or it might change everything.

Summary
After his pod is destroyed by human bomb testing, a lonely young siren named Harry drifts near new shores and witnesses a group of cruel children throw a young Tom Riddle off a cliff into the sea. Harry rescues the drowning child and brings him to a hidden sea cave, where the two lost souls form an immediate, profound bond.
What begins as innocent connection slowly spirals into dark obsession, possessive desire, and a dangerous relationship as Tom grows into Voldemort, claiming his siren completely.
—This story will start off soft and will get very dark following Voldemorts resurrection. This will be canon Tom/Voldemort.
—Smut chapters will be marked with 💕 in the chapter title.Bookmarked by MinuteDifference

Summary
Dumbledore leaves a small, lonely Harry on Severus' doorstep.
In the aftermath of Lily’s death, Severus is hollowed out—adrift, abandoned, and painfully unprepared to care for the child she left behind. Little Harry is fragile, warm, and far too alive in a world that has already taken everything from him. With no idea what to do, Severus turns to the last person he ever imagined asking for help… and yet, somehow, the first person his mind reaches for.
Remus Lupin—solitary werewolf, grieving the loss of his friends, carrying the quiet devastation of Sirius’s imprisonment.
Together, they learn how to keep a child alive. How to survive the nights, the memories, the ghosts of what they once were. In the slow, fragile act of caring for Harry, they remember a time when they were young, when the future was unwritten and warmth still lived in their chests.
Perhaps that warmth has not vanished after all. Perhaps, even now, it can be rekindled—soft and trembling—against the darkness that has settled into their lives.

Summary
Severus Snape has always valued control.
Over his work.
Over his environment.
Over himself.So when an unexpected line of thought begins to intrude—persistent, illogical, and increasingly difficult to ignore—he does what any rational man would do:
He treats it as a problem to be solved.Unfortunately, some conclusions are far less cooperative than others.
And Sirius Black has always had a talent for making matters worse.

"I think I want to take over Britain." Harry said, smiling into the chilled breeze as the sun set. "How about it?" He glanced over at Tom, still sitting by his side.
"We could." Tom replied, "But it would be hard."
"Not if we worked together." Harry said, "Grindelwald was alone. You were alone before. This time, we'll be together." Tom examined him closely, his hazel eyes gazing into Harry's green for a long searching moment.
"Alright." Tom said finally, a smile gracing his face. "Let's do it."

Crossroads offers Harry and Tom another chance at life, sending them back to 1988 where they both wake up as 8 years olds. Chaos ensues as they try their best to navigate their second chance.

Summary
It was a long shot—an impossibly long shot—but it was all he had.
Harry lunged for the photo, his bloodied nose dripping crimson onto the paper as he scrambled for something to write with. But Vernon had locked away all of Harry’s things to prevent him from contacting anyone. In desperation, Harry smeared his blood across the photo with trembling fingers, scrawling three words:
Please help me.
He signed it with a shaky, almost illegible ‘Harry’ before stumbling to Hedwig’s cage. He flung the door open and shoved the photo into her talons, his breath coming in sharp, uneven gasps. Vernon’s angry bellows grew louder as he forced the door open, splinters of wood flying into the room.
“T-take it to Professor Snape!” Harry rasped, barely able to speak through the panic and exhaustion.
Hedwig let out a distressed hoot as Harry squeezed her through the narrow bars of the window. He turned just as Vernon burst into the room, his face purple with fury, his breathing ragged.

Summary
James Potter never thought he’d find himself in a situation this bizarre, even by Marauder standards.
Desperate for a way to defeat Voldemort, James and the Order of the Phoenix performed an ancient ritual, summoning a powerful figure from another time and place. When the man arrived, James wasn’t sure if they’d gained an ally or unleashed another threat. But his son, Harry, took to the stranger instantly, fondly dubbing him “Mr. Snitch” after the man playfully adopted the name.
It was hard for James to reconcile Snitch’s gentleness with the sheer skill and power he commanded—power wielded so effortlessly that he spoke Voldemort’s name as if he did not know the concept of fear. And even through his guard, James couldn’t ignore how the stranger softened whenever he played with Harry, his voice almost aching with a quiet, unspoken longing when he spoke with James and Lily.
Who was this man, really? And why did James feel such a pull towards him, a deep warmth that seemed to defy logic? James was determined to uncover the truth, for the stranger felt like more than just an ally. He felt like a friend—like someone James had known for so long.

Summary
There is a picture in one of the books of a worn young man, heavily scarred with gentle eyes. Remus Lupin, he is identified as. The man who was watching Charles, and presumably Harry. The man who died defending them. Harry traces his fingertips over the man’s face and wonders.
And then he stops, and reels all those thoughts into a tangled knot and tucks it away.
They didn’t want him; that’s fine. He doesn’t want them either.

Severus Snape owes debts to a child presumed dead and the child's tormented godfather; and now he has a cunning, paranoid snake to charm all without tipping anyone else off to the boy's true identity.
