Marauders Redeemed
These are stories with one or more of the Marauders and Snape. I started reading these as a lark and it grew into a full grown obsession. It's giving angst, it's giving painful, heart wrenching regret, it's giving desperate groveling and attempts to win you back. Or it's giving vengeance and justice and vidictive schadenfreude. Either way I am here for it.

Summary
━Of teddy bears, a little broom-loving boy and an irresponsible James.
Severus has made a lot of mistakes in his life, but the main and most serious one, was sleeping with the Gryffindor's idiot, James Potter. he's only 17 years old! And definitely, not even if he was surrounded by Dementors would he agree to start a family with him.
Now the only thing left for him to do is to fight in his last year of Hogwarts to hide the little one he is carrying.

Summary
As Severus Snape lay dying in the Shrieking Shack, his mind created an oddly detailed and realistic hallucination of his life as a child.
Only, it didn't seem to be ending, did it?
Severus was either in a coma and dying, already dead and trapped in some purgatory, completely and utterly insane, or living in the body of his past self.
Until he could figure out which, he might as well play along and attempt to keep the timeline from shattering into a thousand pieces.
If only it were that easy...
What day had he first met Lily, last time around? Could he really afford to avoid doing some odd jobs around town to keep himself fed?
And, perhaps most suspiciously, why did James Potter keep looking at him like that?!

Summary
Severus Snape's life has been hell and he has made his way up the winding staircase to the astronomy tower quite a few times to contemplate if he wanted to take his chances in the next life.
He finally decides that he is going to do it.
Things don't go exactly as planned and many are left stumbling and questioning. A story that explores grief, loss, and finding love in one's self again. A story that involves a second chance at life, but not the one that most are used to.

Wow. Just wow. This is so vivid and visceral, it feels like canon. It feels realer than canon honestly. The writing is next level emotional and raw. Literally everyone gets to be 3D human characters and it's such a breath of fresh air in this fandom.
