Summary
A strange Muggle-like figure appears at Hogwarts claiming to be able to help aid in the fight against Voldemort. But who is this stranger, and how does he play into the past of one Severus Snape?
AU - Set in Harry's 7th year, but events are AU from the end of the OOTP on. So HBP and DH did not happen in this universe.

Summary
Methos and Severus enjoy a night off of everything. No war, no potions, no students, no castle.
Set in my "Slytherin Chronicles" Universe, but not directly a part of it. You don't have to read those stories to get this. Just know that there is an established relationship between the two men. This is actually non-canon from the "The Slytherin Chronicles" because it introduces Severus to Duncan and Joe in a way that is different from his official meeting of them in "The Ministry of Shadows". So think of this more as a fun fluff piece that is AU of the series.

Summary
A Sequel to "The Serpent and the Sword".
After the fall of Voldemort, the wizarding world should have found peace. Instead, a new Minister rises with bold promises and secret ambitions, and strange disappearances begin echoing through both magical and immortal circles.
Harry Potter—fresh from Hogwarts and newly awakened to immortality—finds himself caught between two worlds that fear what he represents. Methos and Severus work to rebuild Hogwarts and protect the fragile alliances forming there, but when a covert Ministry division turns its gaze toward immortality itself, old dangers and older truths stir from below.
As shadows gather behind familiar walls, Hogwarts becomes the last refuge for those who can no longer die… and the first target of those who believe they shouldn’t exist.
Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will shift. And the line between salvation and sacrifice grows thinner by the day.**PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE NO INTEREST IN COMMISSIONING ART FOR MY STORIES. IF YOU ASK ME ABOUT DOING SO, I WILL BLOCK YOU AND REPORT YOU TO AO3 AS A FRAUDULENT SPAM ACCOUNT***

Yule, Actually by Erik_In_CT

Summary
It’s Yule at Hogwarts, which should mean warmth, candles, and magical merriment. Unfortunately, nothing ever goes to plan. Between questionable decorations, competitive gift-giving, identity mishaps, holiday stress spirals, and the general danger of feelings left unattended, the season delivers equal parts chaos and charm.
This is fluff, but timeline wise, it would be placed between "The Strings of the Soul" and "When Death's Sins Come Calling".

Taking place in the immediate aftermath of "When Death's Sins Come Calling", a series of short vignette scenes show life going on. These are little scenes that I wrote that didn't seem to fit into the narrative structure of other stories, so they will sit here as standalone stories.
