Summary
“And you’re quite sure your students only know the sensible parts of the story, are you?” Filius asked in a let’s-be-reasonable voice.
“There were some?” Minerva wondered aloud, dust-dry, as Severus’s face fell.It’s 1985, and Hogwarts’s most junior (permanent) faculty member may have slightly underestimated his influence on his admiring students. …No, seriously. It’s, like, a problem.

Summary
A house divided against itself and held together with duct tape may be able to stand, but raises questions about for how long, and um, is the chimney taped up, too? Because the windows are maybe straining a little and that might just be a grease fire in the kitchen; did you know flour is combustible? And oh, hey, was that insulated duct tape? Because the whole world knows winter is coming, and at this point an iced-zombie invasion would really just be kinda extra.
J/K! ROFLMAO, you should see your face. 😂 Relax, will ya? A hero can handle ANYTHING!

Summary
Sirius babysits and Severus bakes cookies. Neither of these things is strictly true. Marauders, your archenemy. No—look down... No, not metaphorically!
Sirius's kitchen contains two Gryffs, two snakes, two Blacks, two adult male humans, and neither of the two people in it would agree with even one of those descriptions. It's just till teatime, Sirius, you can make it...Chapter 4: The Flyte in the Ointment (and epilogue)
In which Sirius is brave, Evan is laid-back and chatty, and Severus reads Beowulf (or possibly Jabberwock)
In which Sirius is trying, Evan has a lot of opinions, and Severus is patient(ly lying in wait).
In which Sirius is a cowardly lion, Evan is a circling fin in rough waters, and Severus lets his boyfriend loosen the lid on the pickle jar.Everybody's a hat-stall; pick your poison.
(mostly) Fluffy crack taken seriously.

Contains makeshift Quidditch, variably appalling culinary experimentation, Lucius being a bit much, Severus being awkward and unfair, an Evan too burned out on fretting to pay proper attention to the politics, disgusting quantities of heart-eyes, and a flat filled only with possibility.Series

Summary
Slytherin has been lumbered with a disagreeable, low-class, shouty, raggedy little troll. With more pride than self-preservation. Ick. And he's even half muggle! Or maybe just half mother-hen... But either way, noisy, and trouble, and... an excellent decoy, actually, and oi, Snape, what do you want for your History notes?
Or: the darkest baby Death Eaters in Slytherin find each other so consumingly alien they forget to grow up hateful.

Summary
Severus Snape, while fierce, isn't terribly effective about defending himself. But it's just plain suicide, however slow, to go after a child in his care.
He's very much his mother's son. He was in hers.
ch 1: Remus needs people to like and think well of him. (It was for his own good really)
ch 2: James was clearly just never going to stop. (Total AU crack)
ch 3: Sirius was on thin ice with the Noble House of Black. (A Severus fantasy)
ch 4: Peter always was a deceptively useful little thing. (It's never about him)Series
