Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?

Enjoyed this foray into time travel and our young Severus -- great characterization! Loved our additions of Charity and Eileen, Severus waiting and the ending. Would definitely reread.

Summary
Hermione meant to go back to the night Severus Snape died.
Before the blood and silence and all the truths learned too late.
Instead, the Time-Turner shatters.
Hermione falls nearly thirty years into the past and lands in Spinner’s End, where Severus Snape is not yet a spy, a professor, a murderer, a hero, or a dead man.
He is nine years old.
Thin, furious, brilliant, half-starved, and already expecting the world to hurt.
Stranded in 1969 with no way home, no legal identity, and no idea how much damage one misplaced kindness might do to history, Hermione finds herself with Aunt Vera’s spare room, a broken Time-Turner, and a child who does not know how to be helped.
There will be tea. Laundry. Drying charms. Butterbeer. Mistakes.
And slowly, Hermione begins to understand that saving Severus Snape may have very little to do with the night he died.
Author’s Note: This is eventual HG/SS, but the romance is a very late-story development. The early and middle sections focus on Hermione stranded in 1969, young Severus, found family, healing, and timeline changes. There is no romantic dynamic while Severus is a child.

Summary
*** Complete as of 11th May 2026 ***
Hermione Granger has built a good life. A career she loves, a family she'd chosen, a kitchen that feels like home. The Ministry's marriage law threatens to upend all of it.
Matched anonymously via charmed parchment designed to encourage increasingly honest communication between strangers, Hermione finds herself corresponding with a man who is infuriating, brilliant, and uncomfortably perceptive. He sees things in her she's barely admitted to herself. She's not sure whether to be fascinated or alarmed. Possibly both.
The problem is Severus Snape, who has reappeared in her life after years of absence, and who is making it extraordinarily difficult to focus on a Ministry mandated future with someone she's never met.
The other problem is that she's falling for them both.
A slow burn marriage law fic told mostly in a single room, through charmed parchment, terrible pancakes, punk music, and two people who are considerably better at being honest with strangers than with themselves.
"The charm is becoming considerably less useful as a filter. I've stopped being surprised."

Summary
“In all likelihood, the boy was no one. Perhaps someone Severus had met in passing over the years; his memory was excellent, after all. At worst, a former student, someone life hadn’t treated so kindly after graduation. That did happen, too. And really, he ought to be on his way.”

Summary

The Ministry finally relents to holding a long-overdue trial on one condition only - that Severus is released to Harry's custody during the interim parole. Severus and the wizarding world have changed in the intervening years, and Severus must learn to reconcile himself to both, whilst coming to understand the men he and Harry now are.

Summary
It had been four years since the end of the war, and he had taken on the job that he dreamed of, at least that was what he thought. As an auror, Harry Potter had come face to face with some of the most horrific scenes any wizard or witch could imagine since the war. However, nothing could have prepared him for the sight of someone he once thought dead chained to a bed stained in blood, nothing but skin and bones. A man who once prided himself in his control and confidence was now an empty shell, broken. The roles of protection have reversed for these two men who once thought themselves too different, but perhaps they were merely too blind to see it.

Summary
When Harry defeats Voldemort, all those marked by Voldemort lose their magic. Snape decamps to the United States, where he becomes a fry cook in a diner. Five years after Voldemort's defeat, Harry comes to him for advice. AU, obviously, as Snape was still alive when I wrote this story.

Summary
Voldemort's possession of Harry during the events at the Department of Mysteries triggers a latent telepathic ability. Harry's mind begins reaching out to Riddle every night during his sleep, and Riddle takes advantage of that to cast Imperius on Harry, attempting to coerce him into murdering anyone and anything near him. Harry keeps the dreams quiet for fear of being locked up, but when he returns to school, he soon finds dealing with his nightmares and visions, not to mention flaky friends, unwanted advances, and a Snape who's more abusive than ever too much to handle alone. Will Harry survive when the entire world has turned against him and his closest ally comes from the last place he would ever expect?
AU notes: Harry et al are aged up one year to avoid underage issues. Harry is 16 at the start of the story, 17 in chapter 2, and 18 before any real romantic stuff begins.
