Summary
"If he had inadvertently condemned his son to darkness before, he would spend every day of this new life tearing it down to build a fortress of light instead."
When an argument in the Hogwarts dungeons accidentally triggers an ancient temporal anchor, eighteen-year-old Harry Potter is thrown back to a bleak Cokeworth playground—and faces a shivering, four-year-old Severus Snape.
Confronted with the tangible reality of the child he abandoned to an abusive household, Harry makes a choice. Refusing to play by Dumbledore’s rules or let the future freeze over, he steps into the past to finally take his place as a father.
A reverse Severitus/time-travel fix-it story

Summary
He had failed the adult Severus about as completely as one human could fail another in his original life. But after his counterpart rewrote the timeline for a younger version of his son, eighteen-year-old Harry is left in the dungeons with the man who lived through the shadows. He can't change the past here—but across the next thirty years, he can choose to stay.
(A standalone companion piece to "If I Could Have Been There," focusing on the healing of the original timeline).
Note: This is a one-shot

Summary
Crack Spinoff #1 - In Which Harry is not Alright
Harry wants a relationship with his son. Unfortunately, his son is forty, deeply unamused, and strictly refuses to be parented by an eighteen-year-old wizard who still smells like Gryffindor tower.
Fortunately, Harry has a brilliant epiphany. Severus has a very bad feeling about this.
Note: Totally non-compliant with "All the Difference," my serious continuation of "If I Could Have Been There."

Summary
In which Severus is not alright.
Haunted by the memories of a life he never lived, he wishes he could see Harry as the parent his counterpart had—but the reality of Harry’s youth makes the switch impossible. Driven by a moment of alcohol-induced madness, Severus brews a permanent, irreversible de-aging drought to undo the adult he became.
He has no choice but to rely on Harry now. Fortunately, Harry has no intention of letting him go down alone.
Note: This is a long one-shot but I may expand it with some scenes of years that follow.
Another alternative spin-off to "If I Could Have Been There." Completely non-compliant with my other spinoffs. (This is a fanfiction on my fanfiction lol)
