    Summary

    A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.

     

    The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. The same question arises in every soul: "For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?"

     

    ...Or, a classic approach to stubbornness.

    SPOILERS

    genuinely, one of my favorite, if not now THE favorite snarry fic i have ever read. Well written, BEAUTIFUL literary references, and god the characterizations. Down to the painful what-ifs and memory melting things down and essentially self-gaslighting— its all so beautifully realistic and painful. holy shit it makes me want to read more books. homophobic ron? gorgeously written. the way they're still friends eventualy even though the patch is r o u g h. im literally going to cry again. i cried when severus died, yet i couldn't hate the decision, rather it made it just that much more beautiful. this story, god, i fucking love it how the author (god bless this author, this fucking ARTIST bro) managed to make the characters almost of canon (im taking the personalities as canon) and making snarry bloom between them???? idk how you managed it. ighdhehfjrkdkf. oh how i love you for creating these.

    Summary

    "I can send you back. Not to your body, but to one many years ago. Harry, you must fix the natural order of Death, on my behalf."

     

    Harry's breath faltered. It was all so confusing... Harry had died. He had died and spoken to Death and suddenly he was standing in Hogwarts, in 1942, and the Sorting Hat had just pronounced him Slytherin. Death had chuckled at that.

    “Wait.” She sits up, legs tucked to the side to offer her some modesty (as if it really matters at this point). “You’re seriously asking to take control to—to fucking get off?”

    V has trouble getting off. Johnny offers his help.

    Summary

    After the debacle at the Ministry of Magic your father has fallen into the Dark Lord’s disgrace just as the Malfoys. If you had been born a son you would have been forced to take the Dark Mark.
    But you are not. You are one of three daughters. Useless. Unable to pass down your father’s name.
    To protect your younger sisters and father you agree to carry the family’s sin. You give up the life you've been preparing for, a faithful and obedient wife and mother and find yourself at the feet of the Dark Lord’s second in command. His most trusted advisor.

    Severus Snape.

    Your Professor.

    Not to be his wife, but as his own personal toy to use as he pleased.
