Summary
The year was 1988, and on one quiet Sunday morning in the early days of a blisteringly hot July, the Dursleys departed from Number Four Privet Drive. This, by itself, was of little consequence. They habitually went to church most Sunday mornings. Except... this time they simply didn't return.
SS&HP Mentor/Friend/Severitus-style fic.
This story is complete in four chapters which will be posted weekly. The fic is the first in the Storm Surge series. The sequel is now being posted and is called Acid Reigns.
Written as a gift for my discord friend Serena: congratulations on sitting your medical exams! (But also, intended as a gift for Nocturn and Renee, who are ever in my corner cheering me on).

Summary
Harry Potter would never believe you if you told him a year ago, that Severus Snape would become his dad and Draco Malfoy akin to a brother. But as his second year comes to an end, he leaves cursed diaries and huge snakes behind to enjoy his summer at home, Spinner's End.
And, when the new school year comes around, he should have known things wouldn't go smoothly and that he'd have another hell of a year. With a murderer on the loose and a Defense professor who's one hundred times better than Lockhart, Harry is once again stuck in the middle of everything.

Summary
After a tense summer arrangement at Spinner’s End, Harry Potter finds himself under the reluctant guardianship of Severus Snape—and the constant presence of Draco Malfoy. No magic, no dueling, and definitely no flying; just two stubborn teens stuck in close quarters with nothing but their bickering, bruised egos, and constant threats of dungeon bat consequences. As old rivalries flare and new grudges form, Harry learns that some battles aren’t won with spells, sometimes they come with fillings, lectures, and a lot of humiliating family bonding.

Summary
In all the time Severus Snape had been Harry’s guardian, Harry had never willingly admitted to needing help. In fact, he usually deliberately hid from it.
Toothaches were no exception. Surely the boy-who-lived isn’t afraid of the dentist?

Summary
A letter from home? A letter from family? Well, Harry Potter knows he has neither, but all the same, it starts with a letter from Surrey. Whatever the Dursleys have to say, it can't be anything good, so Harry's determined to ignore it. But when the Potions Master forces him to read his letter, Harry gets sent down a path he'd never have walked on his own.
It will be a year of big changes, a year of great pain, and a year of Harry confronting his worst fears.
But from the most unexpected of sources, Harry Potter will finally get a chance to have that which he has never known: a family.A sixth year fic, this story follows Order of the Phoenix and disregards any canon events that occur after Book 5.

Summary
Seven months into Severus Snape's term as Headmaster, he finally perfects a potion that could change the war for the better… or destroy everything Dumbledore set in motion before his death.
Dumbledore is dead, and his plans seem to be falling apart before Severus' eyes. Harry Potter and his friends are no closer to finding and destroying the Horcruxes, and Voldemort's hold over the wizarding world is growing. Severus Snape desperately creates a potion that can send him back five years into the past. Hopefully, with more time, he can find the Horcruxes, find a way to save Harry from the Horcrux inside him and maybe even save some of his other students along the way.
Or he could fail and doom them all.

Please see series notes for a more complete synopsis and an update on the rating.
TW for the series: As of Chapter 86 in December 2023, the rating for this fic has been updated to M from T. For the last half of this story, there have been more and more fight scenes and deaths, and I have felt like I have been toeing the line, so finally increased the rating. All problematic scenes have TW at the start of the chapter so the reader can skip scenes if they wish.Series

Summary
“Professors McGonagall and Moody kept them working until the very last second of their classes too, and Snape, of course, would no sooner let them play games in class than adopt Harry.”
— Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
"Challenge Accepted."
It's Easter of year six and Harry struggles with visions he's inherited from Voldemort. Dumbledore is reaching the end of his time and needs to ensure someone will take care of Harry after he's gone. An incident in the Forbidden Forest where Snape must care for an injured Harry without using magic sets in motion a chain of events that impacts how the prophecy plays out and brings former enemies to a place of mutual understanding.
Alternative Year Six story that extends into Harry's post-Hogwarts years. Canonical as possible through OotP. (Originally written and posted between November 2003 and June 2005, between books 5 and 6 around movie 3 under the username GreenGecko. This is the 5th edition.) This story can be read as a standalone. It comes to completion without a cliffhanger.

Summary
Following the summer break with his new guardian, twelve year old Harry is returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to begin his second year. But with the bloodwards transferred from his relatives’ home significantly weaker, it hasn’t been quite the fairytale ending he’d hoped for, and now there’s trouble brewing at Hogwarts too. Harry must navigate both paths simultaneously, but the darker forces at play soon find him questioning who he can really trust.
AU, Severitus, second year.
This is the sequel to my previous work ‘In Somnis Veritas.’
Thank you to every who read the last story and for your patience in my finally getting around to the second story!
This time you can look forward to longer chapters and a little more intensity than the last story, but you’ll still find some good old fashioned fluff along the way!Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

Summary
*Updates Weekly*
After Molly Weasley reports shocking abuse on the part of Petunia and Vernon Dursley, Albus Dumbledore makes an official decision to Turn A Blind Eye. After all, the Dursleys *are* the key to Harry's Blood Wards. Though McGonagall is appalled, she is ultimately unwilling to take a stand against Albus.
Enraged at this dual neglect, Severus Snape decides to take matters into his own hands. Little does he know that his attempts to modify Harry's Blood Wards will result in *accidentally adopting* The Boy Who Lived. Shocked and horrified, Severus is left with no choice but to move forward as best he can. After all, there's no use crying over spilled potions. . .
This fic is set just after the Weasley siblings rescue Harry from the barred window/canned soup/cat flap situation in Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets. It is broadly inspired by many of my favorite Snape/Harry Adoption Fics, which I have gathered into the collection Snape_Harry_FoundFamily. Thanks, all y'all, for creating such delightful fics.

Summary
After the blood wards collapse and Harry is cast out by the Dursleys, he’s left without a guardian—just as Fudge circles, eager to seize custody.
With little time and even less options, Dumbledore proposes his grand solution; Snape as Harry’s new legal guardian. But a simple adoption on paper won’t satisfy the determined Minister. To avoid Fudge’s grasp, Harry and Snape must set aside their mutual hatred and act as though they’re a devoted father and son.
When he goes undercover with his life on the line and the Ministry watching for any misstep, Harry finds himself wrestling with unexpected emotions and begins to wonder, how long can a lie be told before it begins to feel like the truth?
