Summary
*updated summary*
They could have helped each other avoid the costs of war, but choices and consequences led them astray. Is it too late for them to heal one another? What will they do to save the other when they no longer wish to save themselves?Before the Golden Trio there was another set of three. Three friends, Lily, Severus and Lyra, who embarked on a journey through Hogwarts; who battled through a War of their own. But in the end, the three were broken. Lyra finds herself wondering just how far she will break when all she seems to do is lose. There's no wonder all she wants to do is hold onto what she has left - those people she holds dear, even when they've chosen the opposite side in the war. Secrets, love and anger thrive where light and dark magic dance, leaving behind only what is grey.
"The scars of dark magic and one's susceptibility seem to have tell-tale traits. For Voldemort, I feel it's vanity. In Bellatrix Lestrange, it's cruelty. For me, well, it's always been anger. My soul is far from untarnished Harry. Not all scars are skin deep."

Summary
Ce n'était pas une obsession.
Il était vrai que Sirius aimait avoir un œil sur lui, mais c’était simplement pour le surveiller. Ne pas le surveiller les exposait à des risques, lui et tous ses amis. Ce mec ne manquait aucune occasion de leur pourrir la vie.
Ce n’était donc pas une obsession.

Summary
Severus blinked at his fingernails, realizing that when he’d made this promise to Dumbledore, he didn’t think he’d live very long, not even to middle-age. At the time, he hadn’t even wanted to live to his next birthday, but now…at the far end of the hall, through his tented fingers, Severus watched Kasimir stroll into the Great Hall, wand between his teeth, tying his long hair up in a messy bun as he walked—and Severus realized he no longer wanted to die young. When had that happened? And what did that mean for him? For him and for Kasimir? For Albus? And for Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived?
A sequel to Perfect Poison Pearl, taking place during the books.

Summary
Every male Black is born with a condition that causes them to feel little to no emotions whatsoever, only being cured of it once they meet their “Soulmate”. The only consequence is that they would take drastic measures to make sure their soulmate is theirs. Even if it meant committing the most terrible thing of all: murder.
Sirius Orion Black was lucky enough to have found his soulmate the day he boarded the Hogwarts Express train in 1971. And when he had, he vowed that he would make sure that Severus Tobias Snape remained his and his alone.
Even if he had to get his hands dirty.

Summary
He knew, he knew he would die alone, without honor, at the hands of one of the masters he had served for a higher purpose... Funny, isn't it? Severus Snape, who dreamed of power and strength to protect himself and his mother from his father's tyranny and create a safe life for them, but all he got was pain, betrayal, and disappointment. And as a final humiliation, the last face he saw was that of his tormentor and the eyes of the woman he loved and sacrificed everything for, to atone for his greatest mistake.
He said with difficulty, "Take it." Nothing mattered anymore. He would close his eyes forever and see nothing, no looks of betrayal, disappointment, reproach, or pity. Everything was over.

Summary
As usual summer before third year is really hard…
After an unfortunate incident with Aunt Marge, Harry finds himself staying with Snape and his live-in boyfriend of 12 years.
Only, Snape is just as awful as ever and his boyfriend is really cool and nice and makes Harry feel important… but as time goes on, it’s clear that all is not as it seems. Because Snape is actually… well, he’s not a decent guy, but he does care about protecting children from abuse, apparently.
But his boyfriend… It turns out that not all guys who seem good end up being good in the end. As he watches his professor’s relationship dissolve he can’t help feeling like an awful person for being an active participant in it.
It never once crosses his mind that Harry was being groomed and abused in a grossly different way than he was used to.
OR
Not only do old secrets get revealed, but Professor Snape’s boyfriend takes advantage of Harry while he’s staying there for the summer leading to shifts in perspective and possibly… healing?

Summary
In the quiet aftermath of war, Hogwarts lies scarred but slowly healing. Severus Snape is pulled from the edge of death—not by a Healer’s spell, but by the tears of a phoenix.
Harriet Potter—now a war-hardened eighteen-year-old—takes the stand. Her voice, fierce and unwavering, joins with Snape's memories, student testimonies, and a final, time-delayed letter from Albus Dumbledore, revealing the truth of Severus Snape’s sacrifices and unwavering allegiance.
Haunted by the revelation of Snape’s enduring love for her mother, Harriet finds herself drawn to the man who loved Lily with such violent, aching devotion. A man so wrecked by grief and guilt that he cannot imagine being loved in return.
Can love bloom in the ruins of war? Can Harriet teach Severus that he is worthy of more than Lily’s ghost? Or will the weight of the past doom them before they ever begin?

Summary
One year after Voldemort killed Lily and James Potter, Severus Snape pays a visit to Number 4 Privet Drive. He has a duty to Lily Evans, the best friend he ever had, and therefore to her son and her sister. He finds himself assuming the role of the child's uncle. As it happens, the friendship between Severus Snape and Petunia Dursley changes both of them, both of their lives, Hogwarts, and their world's future for the better. (It's so much easier to be a good person when you're not clinically depressed, afraid for your family, or stuck in your past trauma).
This is a lengthy story meandering through Harry's childhood, with eventual plans to see it through his Hogwarts years and a very different resolution to canon. But in the meantime, the goal is cuteness and exploring a world with better-adjusted adults in it.
