OBITO NOO THEY'RE TOXICCC

“Snape, Aster!” The cheering that welcomed the previous student died down in an instant, and in its stead rose a murmuring ocean of whispers. It washed over him, but he willed himself to move forward. Wave after wave of questions and exclamations followed him down the middle of the room and up the stool. Professor McGonagall gave him a kind smile, and put the Sorting Hat on his head.

You can find Sempiternel on Ao3. Five chapters are already out, and more are coming soon!

Summary: In 1993, a young Hermione Granger stumbled through time and landed twenty years in the past. Now in the year 1992, her son Aster Snape begins his journey at Hogwarts. Being Professor Snape's son is already hard enough, but when strange events start happening that threaten the very stability of his world and family, he realizes that Hogwarts may not be the safest place after all.

This story was born from many discussions with the sexy @pet-genius (who also happens to be the beta reader of the story!), and started as random outlines in messy handwriting, until it grew into something that I could no longer ignore.

Some more fanfiction covers I did recently with a Snily theme (platonic and/or romantic).

I highly recommend each of these fanfics! (my own is there too, so you might want to take that rec with a grain of salt).

(from left to right, top to bottom)

1. Title: Come Once Again and Love Me Author: laventadorn (@laventadorn) Read here Summary: Severus wakes up in the afterlife expecting something rather different than being almost-seventeen again. But wait - Lily's come back, too - from 1981? Perhaps it's a second chance… but for what? (Complete)

2. Title: seventeen moons Author: we_built_the_shadows_here (@we-built-the-shadows-here) Read here Summary: “The scar is small, at least,” Pomfrey says, pulling the bandage snug around the cleaned wound. There’s a pity in her voice that makes Severus want to throw up again. “It will be easily covered.” Dumbledore catches him inspecting it, as if mesmerized. “You are lucky to have survived at all,” the Headmaster says. Severus does not say I don’t feel very lucky because it is stupid and obvious. Instead, he says unsteadily, “I want to press charges, sir.” Pomfrey stills, tightening the bandage to the point of discomfort. “Remus Lupin would be executed,” Dumbledore says. “The Ministry takes a dim view of werewolves who infect other wizards.” (Complete)

3. Title: Septennium Author: Aclandiae (@aclandiae) Read here Summary: June 1969 was when the word found her - witch - delivered by a strange, disheveled and sharp-elbowed boy called Severus. In the soot-stained heart of Cokeworth, far from enchanted castles and moving staircases, Lily Evans and Severus Snape stole seven summers from time's stubborn march. Between broken bones and mended grudges, between flowers blooming out of season and roots that refused to take, Lily learns that magic has its limits, but still her hands keep reaching, reaching, reaching. (WIP)

4. Title: A dealer, not a Death Eater Author: Jaxon (@deathdaydungeon) Read here Summary: It should've been simple: Severus loves Lily, Lily loves Severus, and they live happily ever after - but their dreams are shattered when powerful anti-Muggleborn laws are introduced and Lily's promising career in the Ministry is ruined. Unwilling to leave the magical world, disgraced brewer Severus struggles to keep them afloat - but when he uses the profits from his illegal potion deals to pay their rent, Lily's terrified that the aurors will swoop and send him to Azkaban. (WIP)

5. Title: Dark Ashes Author: Fyrelyght Read here Summary: Severus had been ready to die, he hadn't expected to find himself back to a time when he was still to commit his greatest sins. He had not expected Lily to talk to him again. After two decades spent fighting in a war, it's not immediately apparent to him that somewhere along the way he must've forgotten how to live. With a looming war on the horizon, he doesn't have much of a choice if he wants to protect her. (WIP)

6. Title: Puzzle Author: we_built_the_shadows_here (@we-built-the-shadows-here) Read here Summary: Three years after Voldemort visited Godric’s Hollow, Lily now lives under the protection of loyal Death Eater Severus Snape in a world ruled by the Dark Lord’s conquest. But the Order of the Phoenix is not completely eradicated, and two names are beginning to return to her: Harry and James. (Complete)

7. Title: thunderstorms beneath our skin Author: MeldigoTheGreenYeti (@meldigogreenfott) Read here Summary: Nothing was same once Lily graduated from Hogwarts. Everyone around her seemed to have a plan, a direction. She was stuck in between of everything—too old to cling to childhood, too lost to step into adulthood. Everything was changing to quickly for her to even grasp the moments around. But the summer of 1978 doesn't go as expected. Old names return. New alliances form. And somewhere between restless nights, unopened letters, caught against the haunting weight of everything unsaid, Lily finds herself drawn back into a story she thought had ended. (WIP)

8. Title: a life of smoke and silvered glass Author: dirgewithoutmusic (@ink-splotch) Read here Summary: Severus sniffed. "Don't come crying to me if he tugs your pigtails." "Come crying to me if he pulls yours, and I'll deck him," said Lily. (Slight AU in which Severus apologizes, tries harder, and stays friends with Lily) (Complete)

9. Title: Glitter Disco Hot Mess Author: acciosalmon Read here Summary: Lily helps Severus celebrate his 16th birthday, but playing by her rules leads to a night of adolescent debauchery. (Complete)

I'm weak at the knees for that man

those dreams oh they haunt me all the time

I feel fine

but only when I’m swimming in your eyes

in my dreams

oh you haunt me all the time

in my dreams

oh you haunt me all the time

in my dreams
