Summary
When Albus makes a discovery in the Muggle Studies classroom, he may have found the solution to finally uncursing the DADA position. All it's going to take is the cooperation of all of magical Britain as Hogwarts embarks on its most unusual year yet.
Come for the crack, stay for a knife-wielding Molly, Bellatrix on community service, and Hagrid raising a baby dementor.
This fic is written as part of the Cultober 2023 challenge with chapters posted (more or less) daily.

Summary
“I must not have heard you correctly, Headmaster,” Severus said flatly.
“You did, my boy. This isn’t only a favour to me, you understand.”
“But there must be trust," Severus insisted. "A bond… or some sort of relationship between mentor and pupil for Occlumency to be taught correctly! The only bond the brat and I share is one of mutual loathing.”
“Now, Severus, you are an adult and a Hogwarts professor. Surely, you can find a way to mend broken bridges.”
Broken bridges? Broken bridges? There had never been a "bridge" to begin with! Not with Potter, the carbon copy of his school bully, who spoke, acted, believed himself so superior to anyone else he might as well be the second coming of his father. There had always only been damp planks slogging down a river which separated them on two opposite banks. No bridge to speak of.
OR
Summer of Fifth Year. Dumbledore decides Harry should begin Occlumency immediately. Harry and Snape start seeing a lot of each other. Neither is thrilled, especially when they begrudgingly realise that maybe, possibly, perhaps, they might have more in common than they thought. -

Summary
Severus Snape was perfectly happy with his life. Sure, working for the Dark Lord was horrific, his home was a hovel, and his personal relationships non-existent. Yes, definitely happy. That is, he was, until an unexpected visit from an alternate universe self turned everything on its head. Surely there was no universe in which he had adopted Harry Potter?
Or:
Harry Potter finds the family he always longed for. Sometimes salvation comes from the strangest places.
Started as an answer to the Potions & Snitches Challenge:" Mirror Mirror" Cannon Snape comes face to face with a version of himself from another universe. A universe where he raised Harry Potter.

Summary
After Harry attempts to run away on the Knight Bus after blowing up Aunt Marge, Snape finds him and brings him back to Spinner’s End. WIP Not sure how/when this will end yet. Be warned: very likely that updates will be infrequent. Will do my best.

Summary
Nella Rose Potter, the Girl Who Lived.
Under the stairs at the moment, though not for long. She's about to receive a letter that will make things a whole lot worse before they get better.
***“I am not in the habit of returning house points once they have been lost, Miss Potter. Among us little people at least, choices have consequences. If that’s all —”
“It’s not that, sir,” she hastened to explain, surprising him once more. Most students were only too eager to latch onto anything that resembled a dismissal from his presence, and no one — ever — interrupted him. “I-I understand. I just… I live with my aunt and uncle, you see. They’re muggles.”
Snape didn’t answer, but the girl plowed doggedly on.
“Well, th-there was an a-accident at the end of the summer, sir. S-some of my potions ingredients spilled in my trunk, and I didn’t know w-what to do... M-my relatives thought I might get help at school?”
She swallowed hard, then reached into her bag and pulled out a horror of a textbook. The entire mold-stained cover slid off as she moved to set it on his desk, and a handful of ragged pages scattered as the book block landed on his desk with a damp thud.

Summary
AU where Severus Snape is tasked with retrieving Harry Potter from his relatives in the summer before Harry's 5th year rather than the other Order members.
Also featuring: a supportive Remus and Sirius, a sassy and devoted pet snake, a stable Golden Trio, Professor Harry Potter, and a really cool (and possibly sentient?) library.
In other words, this is OOTP but better.
