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
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.

Summary
When Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts (and is sorted into Slytherin), he finds a family hidden in its walls. Between a sarcastic toad named Midas, a cautious circle of new friends, and a professor who is secretly more soft then spiky, Harry starts to realize that he truly can belong.
As the year unfolds with flying lessons, trolls, and far too many secrets, Harry learns what it means to belong… and that sometimes, the line between friendship and something more is thinner than it seems — especially when Draco Malfoy is involved.
(Also, Midas insists on commenting on everything like an overdramatic bard, and honestly? He’s not wrong.)

Baffle Them With Your Bullshit by Soliloquy_of_Ink

Summary
Harry, having grown up a little more rough around the edges than Dumbledore would have hoped for, decided to embrace the part of himself that the Hat said would do well in Slytherin. But instead of letting it sort him amongst the snakes, he decided to do it his way—by using the foolhardy bravery that Gryffindor was known for to hide the cunning he kept close to his chest.
Harry begins his journey into the magical world, unknowingly following his parents footsteps far closer than anyone could have expected. Of course, to be able to notice this, people would have first had to have known the path his parents actually took. Hidden heritages and unexpected inheritances lead to chaos as two generations of marauders come together to save the world from the havoc created by prejudice and ego.
The title comes from the saying "if you can't blow them away with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullshit".

Summary
When Harry is forced to endure a summer under Snape’s care, he’s uncertain he has the will to bear through whatever his professor has in store for him.
With the ghost of Cedric over his shoulder, the echo of his relatives’ treatment ringing in his ears, and the absence of anyone he thought still cared about him weighing on his chest, he knows that with just a little more pressure he may totally crumble.
As Harry is plagued by the many consequences of Voldemort’s return, Severus attempts to suffer through the burden of arming the boy’s mind against his original master, all while continuing his subterfuge at the Dark Lord’s feet.
When a connection of consciousness is wound between them, and certain truths about Harry are revealed, they have no choice but to bend to the consequences, and hope they emerge on the other side better for it.

A classic slow build Severitus fic with alternating perspectives between Harry and Severus, a unique take on Occlumency, and a lot of angst.

Summary
The Dursleys have had enough and decided well, since Harry is now a teenager surely he can work for his own keep and sent him off to get a job as they will no longer be providing him with his needs (not like they did that anyway) and surely he can start helping pay the bills. Harry fortunately found a job that is nearby, a grocery store. As Harry settles in on this new routine he gets used it until one day on the checkout line he runs into the last person he wants to see.
"P-professor Snape?"
"Potter!"
For Harry it appears to be that things seem to be getting worse but finds that perhaps this is the start of something good.

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.

"There's nothing more we can do."
"He will kill you!"
"Then he'll kill me, Severus!"
"Please. Please, convince James to break the oath. If he knows- if he knows, maybe he'll change his mind."
"Break the oath? Break the oath? You're smart enough to know, Sevie-"
"I don't want you to die!"

The addled orphan of drug addicted parents, dropped off at his respectable relatives’ house, only for them to go on and die in a car crash. It was alright. One day he was going to be a zookeeper, probably. Or just something that worked with snakes.

Summary
Minerva sighs. “No matter how you disagree with other Heads of Houses’ behavior, you cannot yell at them. That is what Albus is for. If we had accused you of the things you did Flitwick? You would have rioted, Severus. It’s not our place.”
Severus pauses and considers her words. Would he have wanted that?
“I do wish that one of our colleagues, especially you, had spoken to me about my behavior. And yes,” He adds, quieter than before. “It would have been embarrassing. I would have been upset—but I could have changed sooner. Been less cruel. I would have valued, eventually, that you cared enough about the students to do something one might deem improper in order to help them.”
Shrugging, Severus looks down to the water. He misses being a teenager. No, he just... he wishes his teen years were different.
Maybe he’d know better sooner.

Summary
Harry Potter's life has never been normal. So why was he surprised to find out that his life was once again not what it seemed? Apparently, his father is alive and, get this, was the one who gave birth to him, which is possible because he's an actual fricken Asgardian god. Not to mention, Harry has a second dad who is also alive, is a famous muggle billionaire and superhero, and didn't know about him until his (other) dad's memory was returned. Seriously, this was insane, but in the context of his life it should feel like a normal Tuesday.
Or, a story in which Harry Potter regains the family he always wanted, wraps the Avengers around his finger, and lives up to his Marauding legacy while facing down the biggest magical threat the world has ever seen with enough drama and sarcasm to make both his fathers proud.
