The last thing either of them wanted was their paths to collide, but when Petunia gets stuck in the snow, they'll get stuck with each other.

5 times Severus denied Harry was his son, and 1 time he didn’t.

Until suddenly, they don't.

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.

Lying in hospital after the Battle of Hogwarts, Remus Lupin has a lovely lucid dream that he's gone back to his school days at Hogwarts. Only the day passes, then another, and another, and soon he must face the terrifying possibility that it isn't a dream — that he has irreparably altered the events of the past.

Survival at Hogwarts has always meant enduring hexes and humiliation, but Severus could handle it. At least until a single failing grade shatters his hopes of ever escaping to a better life. For the first time, he wonders… would life be easier if he wasn't Severus Snape? Lucky for him, he is a potion genius and relief is only a few experiments away.

James promises Severus that if Severus has sex with him 93 times, he will break up with Lily and advocate that she date Severus.

Or he did… somehow Severus was wearing the idiot’s jersey and Black was spewing ridiculous nonsense that made Severus’ cheeks burn and his heart flutter.

Lily Evans wanted nothing more to do with Severus Snape. She was never going to speak with him again for as long as she lived. And she had every intention of following through with that promise, until she saw Mulciber hit her ex-best friend across the face. In a fit of rage, she challenges him to a duel, only to find herself drawn into a world of dark rituals and sacrificial magic. There is more at stake than just her Gryffindor pride. Lily must win the duel, because if she doesn't then Severus and his magic will be bound to Mulciber forever.

Harry Potter has survived war, Dark Lords, and the absolute nightmare that is the British press. A soulmate bond with Severus Snape might actually be worse.

In which Severus is far too thin, and pampering is an art Lucius and Narcissa have perfected.

He may be forced to entertain the possibility that there might be a few things he miscalculated.

AU. In the aftermath of October 31st, 1981, Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black try to set their differences aside to keep Harry safe.
