Summary
It all began with a letter in that Snape boy’s hand.
Professor Minerva McGonagall had always tried to be fair and just.
But in a world of rising division and bigotry during a time filled with growing despair and utter mistrust as a dark enemy forces the world apart in a silent war, Minvera perhaps had lost sight of the small nuances and details that made life so three dimensional.
Perhaps she herself fell victim to assumptions and misconceptions and their power to color one's own perspective in the wrong shade.
Perhaps in her attempt to guide the next generation of wizards onto a better path, she had misjudged who needed her helping hand the most.Or perhaps she should've just taken the damn letter.
Or: It all began with a letter. It all got derailed when a random girl met an unwilling Severus Snape and decided: That one! That one will be my new brother.

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?!

Within These Walls (First String) by Cross_your_mind_just_alittle
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Hermione Granger knew about time-travel and time-turners as a third year. When everything goes wrong at the Battle of Hogwarts, and nearly everyone she loves dies, Hermione discovers that not only is time-travel possible within her world but across worlds as well.
Suddenly thrown back to 1978 and into a world that is no longer her own, Hermione has a chance to rewrite history, because while terrible things happen to Witches and Wizards who mess with time, she doesn't think that applies to a Universe where she never existed in the first place.
Never one to back down from a fight, Hermione is going to make this new world a better place. She's going to take down Voldemort, avoid an ever Manipulative Dumbledore, and she's going to do so alongside an equally war-battered George Weasley and Draco Malfoy, and maybe with the help of a young Severus Snape.

Summary
James doesn’t understand what’s happening.
After the incident by the Black Lake, his red-haired angel had finally managed to break free from that sullen, greasy snake. He ought to have been relieved—yet he can’t stop paying attention to one thing:
That Slytherin… has changed.
The boy who always hunched over, who kept himself tucked into shadows as if he didn’t quite belong—now walks with a straight back, his former unease replaced by a sharp, steady focus. He ignores every gaze on him, striding down the corridors with quick, decisive steps, the hem of his robes sweeping behind him in dark, wave-like ripples.
Once, James even caught Snape standing by a window, watching a group of younger students roughhousing in the hall with a cold, assessing stare—as if he might deduct points any second, as if he had the authority to do that.
James can’t make sense of it.

Summary
Severus Snape is not an optimist even on his best days. Today is not a good day.
Or also; Instead of dying peacefully and being tossed into a shoddy grave where future students come to vandalize, Severus finds himself flung through time to the beginning of his sixth year, and must deal with the consequences.
If it must be done, it must be done properly. Regretfully, he seems to be the best candidate.

he takes the pills during the MVA.
doesn't throw them up. doesn't tell anyone.
just swallows it down like it's nothing - like he hasn't done this before.(he has. he knows exactly how this ends. but that doesn't stop him.)
starts at 7x05 with a major canon divergence from 7x09.
slow collapse. quiet relapse.
painkillers, guilt, and the kind of unraveling you can hide under your scrubs.Bookmarked by Meinstead

Summary
Severus Snape was ready to embrace death, bleeding out on the cold floor of the Shrieking Shack after Nagini's deadly attack. He had made peace with his end—relief, even, at the thought of escaping a life of torment and regret.
So why, in the ever-twisted fabric of fate, did he wake up in his fifteen-year-old body, back in his fifth year at Hogwarts, surrounded by ghosts of the past he thought he'd escaped forever?

Summary
The Pauper becomes the Prince; the Prince becomes the Master.
or: Severus is done with wizards for good. Following the death of his father shortly after his graduation, he packs his bags and sets off for London, striving to become something his father (along with every wizard from his past) would have hated. Through a series of rather unexpected events (a few chance encounters and several regrettable fashion choices), he becomes a muggle rockstar. He is the Punk Prince, lead of a rising post-punk rock band riding the new wave of the 80s. The band explodes into the British music scene, attracting fans, friends, and enemies- including those from his past.
After a Death Eater attack at one of his performances, Severus is dragged back into the world he tried so hard to leave behind. Soon Severus is caught between a prophecy, the world he's come to love, and one that refuses to forget him. He must make a choice: muggle or wizard, coward or hero, prince or master.- Language:
