    This is one of the best Lily Evans stories I've read; I love it because she's so human. In the canon, we only saw her through the eyes of other characters—and there were very few of them—but she's always portrayed as a saint and highly idealized.
    It's... such a shame we never got to know what she's really like.

    On the other hand, I love how the relationship between Severus and Lily develops; I love how neither of them is perfect and how they really strive to be better. I almost never read Snily fanfiction because the main problem I see is that only one person puts effort into the relationship, while the other is portrayed as perfection incarnate.

    But not here! and I like that! I think this is exactly how a Snily story should be written.

    Summary

    When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

    Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

    Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

    I think this should be the standard for how a redeemed Severus Snape and a good Severitus should be written; many works fall into the trap of either redeeming him too easily or portraying him as pure evil. Here, it’s the complete opposite, the change wasn’t radical, but rather the result of genuine effort behind it, and it does a great job of respecting what Severus Snape is: a gray character.

    I also love the writing of the other characters; they’re all so… human, and that’s something I love to see in any work.

    If you want a satisfying reading experience, I highly recommend this work.

    Summary

    "The black haired boy reminded Alice rather strongly of a snarling gargoyle; his face was a study in hard, angry angles, and his body was hunched protectively over a study carrel like the numerous chimera that lurked high upon the outer walls of Hogwarts." The unlikely friendship between Alice Longbottom & Severus Snape; a prequel to 'Hallelujah'.

    The dynamic between these two was very sweet. I've always liked the idea of Severus making healthy and beautiful friends, someone who truly influences him and helps him grow as a person, and this work captures that amazingly well.

    Many moments were truly terrifying and tragic, really making you cling to the smallest bit of hope. In fact, I went through a phase of denial, only to then realize it and end up crying. But you know what? I wouldn't change this ending for anything in the world.

    Severus and Alice deserved more than this life could ever give them.

    Summary

    It was an early July afternoon when the Marauders heard of the death of Severus Snape. Word spreading through the small, slightly rural, British town like an infection. While technically it was still a missing persons case, they all knew Snape was already dead.

    (Stand by Me inspired Marauders fic. After Tobias Snape is arrested for murdering his fourteen years old son, a certain group of boys set out to recover the missing body. No Magic and set in a small 1960s town. PLEASE NOTE!! I have decided to use the 'Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings' Archive Warning.)

    Oh my God!! I'll never get tired of saying it! I love how this author writes the Marauders. I'm captivated by the mystery and suspense this story evokes. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, so I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

    Severus, you were the toughest and coolest goat ever!

    There's Something Different About Snape by

    Summary

    “Who are you and what have you done with Severus?” said McGonagall, her eyebrows almost disappearing into her hat. The query was meant as a joke, but there was a hint of legitimate doubt in it.

    “I got therapy,” Snape blurted out.

    ༻✦༺

    The year is 2025. An average guy gets hit by a car on his way home from work and dies.

    In another universe, the year is 1992. Severus Snape wakes up. He proceeds to have a panic attack.

    Yes, this is a silly, self-indulgent isekai/transmigration story starring Severus Snape. Watch as he does shenanigans, has anxiety, and keeps putting everyone he knows into shock with his sudden tendency to smile. Get in everyone, we're gonna desecrate this world. Screw JKRowldemort—she deserves 0 respect for the way she uses her privilege to harm others just trying to live. Trans rights, mf.

    [[SLOW UPDATES]]
    I take a while because this is just something I do in my spare time when I'm not exhausted from working/life. Sorry! If this ever does go on hiatus for whatever reason, I'll update this description to say so, but as of now, that's not the case. I'm just a hella slow writer. ;-;

    With lovely illustrations and great storytelling, and although this fanfic isn't technically focused on Severus, it's still incredibly cool, entertaining, and fun, so I really had to include it in this collection.

    Can you blame me? I really love isekai's
