New Poll!! I donāt think Iāve seen someone ask this before? But I could be wrong. I was considering whether or not Harry should be Snapeās biological child in an idea I had and got curious as to other peopleās opinion on the trope.
How do you feel about Biological Father Severus to Harry?
Love it! I prefer it over non-bio works
Love it! I have no preference between the two
Enjoy it! But I still prefer non-bio
Neutral, ill read if itās interesting but I donāt typically seek it out
Dislike, I tend to avoid it, but thereās been one of two fics that I can stand
Hate, actively avoid the trope/tag as much as possible
Other/more complex answer that I canāt think of right now

Personally, I donāt seem to have a preference between either? But I do seem to have more non-bio fics as my favorites so idk,
Also thought it interesting that the community doesnāt seem to differentiate between Severitus and Sevitus, anymore, typically sticking to Severitus as the over all name for the trope- at least from what I have seen.

For the person who requested it, hereās the class and quidditch schedules I drafted for my fic! I have had to take some liberties since the time I made this (i.e. Harry hasnāt attended an on-screen Astronomy class so far in HOTH despite several Friday night chapters) but I do refer to this pretty frequently when determining where Sev or Harry & co would be on any given day. Enjoy! Iāve also linked the fic again for anyone whoās interested :)
Thought Iād share my own personal fic list that Iāve complied over time featuring Snape and Harry developing some kind of father-son relationship, all the way through either bio-dad, adoption, guardian or mentorship. All of these fics are COMPLETE because after OME leaving me on the worldās biggest cliff hanger and losing the fic for many months because Iām an idiot, I have serious WIP trust issues. Theyāre also usually really long because I love angsty, slow-burn fics.
I started taking in-depth notes while I read through fics a while ago so that I would NEVER lose a favourite fic again (the title of one of my favs is in Latin, so I never remember what itās called). And also because I have a terrible memory so remembering what happened in each fic is quite difficult for me. Assuming I know how to count there should be over 16 fics listed here.
Iāve also rated each fic out of 10 and added a couple of notes for each fic (I didnāt add any with a rating of 5 or lower cause these are meant to be recommendations not a reading log). Iāve put them in order of how much I liked them, 10 and 9s being my equivalent to an Outstanding, 8 and 7 an Exceeds Expectations and a 6 an Acceptable.
TW: As is usually the case with Severitus fics, ALL of these fics have some degree of child abuse in them, courtesy of the Dursleys (I mean itās literally canon). The severity and type of abuse varies greatly across fics. Fics with highly graphic depictions of physical abuse will have an additional TW. (Also if I miss any TWs for fics feel free to let me know Iād be more than happy to add them).

This fic is a MUST read for new and hardcore severitus fans alike. The characterisation is perfect, the plot is believable, the pacing is great, the writing quality is good and it's incredibly angsty.

Youāve probably already read this one because it is legendary in the Severitus genre and a staple for any fic list. In the event that you havenāt, you SHOULD read it ASAP. Starts summer of sixth year.Ā

Victus per Reproba Monumentum By firefly5151

For a long time I didnāt read anything that had Sev as Harryās bio dad, it felt implausible, OOC and just was not as good as the guardian/mentor trope. That is until I read this fic, and now the bio-dad trope is my favourite. This fic is the Snape of Severitus, there are a LOT of flaws but I love it anyway. The plot is a bit questionable, it has manipulativeDumbledore (which I donāt like in fics) and Ron and Hermione pretty much forget Harry exists. BUT the emotional journey is amazing, and really angsty. Starts during summer of 6th year.
TheĀ Subterfuge ByĀ Murai-Sakura

This fic is on the newer side having been written in 2020. My first time reading this fic I had a few mixed feelings about it which made me reluctant to read it again despite really liking it. Reading it again for the second time I canāt understand what past Ashās problem was because it was magnificent. Granted I remember it being darker than it actually is (it may have been due to me reading The Hunger Games in-between, who knows). Iām rambling, in short I think I liked this one a little more than A Year Like None Other. The plot is unique enough that the story doesnāt feel like your reading a rehash of every Severitus fic ever while still hitting the emotional points necessary for a satisfying fic. Itās definitely more mentor than father figure and is set during fifth year so watch out for Umbridge.

A Year Like None Other By aspeninthesunlight

Another classic whose reputation speaks for its-self, written before HBP came out and is also insanely long. Iāve actually never read the sequals either because one was enough for me and itās in Dracoās pov. It also has the added bonus of brother bonding between Draco and Harry. Set during 6th year.Ā

Perception is Everything By Kendra James

This was one of the first few Severitus fics I ever read so it has a very special place in my heart despite the plot being a very standard Severitus setup. Set Christmas 6th year, Snape finds out about the Dursleys abuse when Harry gets sick over Christmas break.

Iāve only read this one once so Iām taking past Ashās word for it. Set during 5th year, a what if Snape actually hit Harry with the jar after the Pensieve incident. Harry gets temporary amnesia and spends some time in Spinnerās End with Snape.Ā

The standard run down; the Dursleys are dicks, Sev finds out. This is pre-Hogwarts (7 years old) so you know Harry is going to be adorable and clingly. Vernon has Harry tied up in the yard like a dog.

This fic is a little more recent I think. Set summer before the start of 5th year, Harry and Dudley are de-aged. This ones quite the adventure and Sirius is still alive so you know thereās gonna be a fight over Harry.
What I Must Ask You To Do By VeraRose19
Rating: 7/10 Ā Word Count: 261K+
Set at the end of GOF and continues into 7th year. This story is not just a Severitus but also an exploration of the blossoming friendship and eventualĀ romance (the Sirius Black/Severus Snape is very minor and DOESNāT have any NSFW content, they donāt even kiss in the fic) between Severus and Sirius as they co-parent Harry together. The story is far fluffier than it is angsty and relies quite heavily on canon for plot whilst also taking out the adventure and death toll. Itās more a fluffy, canon, best case scenario than an angsty, slow-burn fic.

Harry is de-aged to 4 and Sev has partial paralysis. So they stay at a little cottage by the sea. Hermione features quite heavily in this one, both her and Harry end up with Sev gaining guardianship of them.

When Harry is hit with the killing curse in DH Harry and Sev are sent back to first yeah. Harry and Sev pretty much spend the whole fic Horcrux hunting, its a fun bonding experience.

Summer of Bonding By Magica Draconia 6/10
Rating: 6/10 Ā Word Count: 76K+
This one is set after PS as the Dursley never pick Harry up from Kings Cross so Harry stays with Snape. Snape collects horse figurines in this one and is very heavily featured in this story. So its a bit too niche for my liking but otherwise still a good read.
And thatās all I got. Iāll probably come back to this list (yeah cause I forgot to put in tags) and add more fics as I read them. (When I add new fics Iāll reblog this post with a change log so you don't need to read through the list again to figure out whatās been changed.) My TBR is usually just as long so ... to forever be continued.
