Summary
“No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
“That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
Harry didn't like the sound of that.
“But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
“Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

Summary
Tom wakes him gently.
He tells Severus the truth about his parents.
He explains the political mess.
He warns the boy what it means to be associated with him.
You will become a target.Severus, in his quiet, knife-edged honesty, asks: “What do you want from me?”
Tom has no acceptable answer.
Severus chooses for himself: “Can you teach me to survive instead?”
And Tom, who has taught himself nothing but survival, answers: “Yes.”They make an agreement:
Severus stays until Tom can teach him no more.
Both pretend it’s temporary.
Both know it isn’t.Omegaverse exists, but strictly within magical society. Dynamics are magical biology, inherited alongside lineage, influence politics, rites, and the old laws. Muggles know nothing.

Summary
Testing his luck, he pulled the metal out in one swift motion. It came out easily with a squelch quickly lost in the roar of the dog coming down upon his neck. His body dropped, the metal still clenched between his fingers, teeth pressed into his adams apple and he was sure that if he swallowed it would burst. Once again, there was a pause. This dog didn’t seem very experienced in killing.
“It's okay,” he repeated. The words were hard to get out with the pressure on his neck. “You can bite down.”
The dog’s breath stuttered. It was likely the cold finally got to it. He buried his fingers in the fur just below its head.
“Just leave a little for the other strays. They’ve been good to me.”
---
Severus meets a strange dog out in the woods. Lost and drifting, he attatches himself fully to his new friend. He's given himself a purpose. To live alongside his grim.
---
Sirius Black has dug his own grave, and like the dog he is he can't help digging further.

History may be warned—but Severus is no longer obligated to behave.
Severus Snape does not return to his seventh year with the intention of fixing anything.

Summary
Sevina Snape had lived her life in pain, suffering, and loneliness. As the years of her life passed, she grew bitter and filled with hatred upon realizing Lily Evans was never truly her friend. But out of duty as a professor, she protected every single one of her students to the best of her ability, even Harry Potter, who possessed Lily's eyes and James's arrogant appearance that made Sevina want to punch a wall. Still, even with so much hatred for Harry's parents, she couldn't bring herself to hate Harry completely. When she died in the Shrieking Shack, the place that brought back so many unpleasant memories and pain, and gave Harry her memories to see the full plan she and Dumbledore had prepared for him to defeat Voldemort, every hidden secret, every move, and plan they made was entrusted to Harry.
Sevina thought she had finally died and rest, but no... She woke up in her 16-year-old body and Hogwarts robes. She was still bleeding and poisoned from Nagini's snake bite, and perhaps worse, James Potter found her. Sevina collapsed and saw James running to her.

Summary

A cozy Halloween featuring potions, pumpkin tarts, one exasperated werewolf, and a very smug dog.

“We weren’t born birds. We’re snakes, you and I. Forever at eye-level with the ground, forced to slither between the heavy steps of a stampeding crowd. Find your wings,” Eileen would say, pawing at him with broken fingers,

Summary
Sirius Black has never prided himself on being a very observant or perseptive man. He has always been a man of action, of response. Sirius just wasn't wired that way. He liked things clear, in his face. He noticed when it was impossible not to. But, it still leaves a bad taste in his mouth when he realizes what he's missed. This morning he doesn't even really understand what he's missed. Even after he caught it.
(Five times Severus flinches in front of his long-term partner, Sirius, and the time they finally talk about it.)

Summary
Thunderstorms were a good time to take Moony out into the forest. The noise covered most of his howling, the rain kept him slow and careful, and most of the more dangerous creatures would be settled in for the night. This one had been textbook, with the night tilting back over towards the day with no issue. Then they looked back at the werewolf, noting his raised ears and slowly sniffing nose.
Good, a rabbit'll make him easier to get back into the shack.(Snape has been in his own head since The Prank, and decides to test out 'how easily' the Marauders would've become Animagi. He's not the MOST pleased with his new form. A form that garners as many predators as Severus does in his every day life / The Marauders feel guilty about The Prank. But are they going to say anything? Nuh-uh!)
