Summary
Harry Potter is so close to becoming the head of the auror department but the truth is he doesn't want it. Even though Voldemort and Dumbledore are gone his whole life seems to be mapped out and he is on a knife's edge.
He has no control at work and so chooses to work out his issues on men he pays to his submissives. There's a reason the saviour of the wizarding world has to pay for it.
Enter Snape - saved from the horrors of Azkaban but nobody will hire him. He can barely sell enough potions to afford to eat. He really has no options left.
I will update this as I go - at the moment I'm unsure if this will stray into dead dove territory. Regardless it's a dark fic.

Summary
After a summer spent at the Dursleys with little to no contact with the Wizarding World, Harry is exhausted. He's been attacked by Dementors, his cousin got hurt and just to add insult to injury, Harry is stuck with an angry Vernon Dursley for the rest of the summer. Oh, and he needs to be resorted, because while he doesn't love the drama, the drama loves him.
The Sorting Hat finally gets his way and a newly sorted Slytherin Harry Potter must now navigate new allies, old friendships and new enemies, all while surviving the O.W.L. year, the second most important year of wizarding education.
Maybe getting expelled wouldn't have been so bad after all.

Summary
“Boy!” Vernon’s voice snapped Harry out of his thoughts. He looked up to see his uncle glaring at him. “Are you even listening?”
“Yes, Uncle Vernon,” Harry muttered, quickly averting his eyes.
Vernon grunted, satisfied, and turned back to his meal. But Harry kept sneaking glances at Petunia, her silence speaking louder than any of Vernon’s rants ever could.
For the first time, Harry wondered if she was trapped too.
When the wards fail after an incident, Harry is cast out of the Dursleys and into the reluctant care of Professor Snape. Silent and spiraling, Harry discovers an unsettling power within him. With a growing Dark Lord, Malfoy under the same roof, and secrets simmering, healing might not be enough to save them.
