Ab Intra, Ab Extra
AB INTRA
Severus Snape has been in prison for the past six years, but it’s not what you think—life in Azkaban is never boring. Yaxley’s atrocious gang is on the rampage (again), the canteen’s newspapers are absolutely scandalous, kitchen duty pays well, and smuggling in potions from time to time grants Severus protection and free tobacco.
His peace of mind is disturbed when Harry Potter comes to visit.
(Now, surely a mischievous secret must be hiding behind that. Only it’s not the one Severus thinks.)

AB EXTRA
After seven years in Azkaban, Severus is finally free. Unemployed and homeless in a world that has moved on without him, he has no other choice but to try and rebuild his life from the ground up. In the process, he will have to endure: a cursed apartment that breaks its own furniture for fun, a remarkably round owl called Britney Spears, and Harry Potter, who is obsessed with a potion that does not exist and has a soft spot for floral patterns and nail polish.
(Or: when Severus Snape was fifteen, he made a terrible mistake. When he was forty-six, he made it again.)

This is the most excited I’ve ever been about a book!! When Arrisha reached out to me to ask if I took requests, all I head was that Ab Extra was complete and I RAN to Ao3 to read it! This fic is extremely heavy but this Harry is one of my all-time favorites! At first I wasn’t sure how to bind this series since part one is so short and part two is so long. Then I thought I would put them both in one volume. THEN I decided to do this! I really wanted this book to reflect Severus and Harry’s personalities. Side one is Ab Intra and has a black suede cover with a black lily pattern and dark lily end pages. Side two is Ab Extra and has a lavender cover with a rose gold rose pattern and super flamboyant flower end pages. I’ll let you guess which side represents who. 😉Â
The incredible dust jacket art is by @mrviran and inspired the entire design of this book. I’m so grateful that I have permission to use it!
More photos of this book are available on my Instagram!
*Disclaimer: this story is DARK and HEAVY and Severus is NOT NICE. But it’s amazing 🥰
