Summary
“No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
“That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
Harry didn't like the sound of that.
“But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
“Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

Summary
When Harry is forced to endure a summer under Snape’s care, he’s uncertain he has the will to bear through whatever his professor has in store for him.
With the ghost of Cedric over his shoulder, the echo of his relatives’ treatment ringing in his ears, and the absence of anyone he thought still cared about him weighing on his chest, he knows that with just a little more pressure he may totally crumble.
As Harry is plagued by the many consequences of Voldemort’s return, Severus attempts to suffer through the burden of arming the boy’s mind against his original master, all while continuing his subterfuge at the Dark Lord’s feet.
When a connection of consciousness is wound between them, and certain truths about Harry are revealed, they have no choice but to bend to the consequences, and hope they emerge on the other side better for it.

Summary
or: The Art of Identifying the Things which No Longer Serve You
When Uncle Vernon stops for petrol in some town called Cokeworth on their way back from a forced-upon-Harry trip to Aunt Marge's farm, Harry decides to indulge himself in some fresh air while Dudley bullies his parents for more snacks for the road.
His peace and quiet get quickly interrupted, however, by a strange man with a basket full of violets attached to his bike and way too much interest in every single secret Harry has ever held dear.

Summary
As usual summer before third year is really hard…
After an unfortunate incident with Aunt Marge, Harry finds himself staying with Snape and his live-in boyfriend of 12 years.
Only, Snape is just as awful as ever and his boyfriend is really cool and nice and makes Harry feel important… but as time goes on, it’s clear that all is not as it seems. Because Snape is actually… well, he’s not a decent guy, but he does care about protecting children from abuse, apparently.
But his boyfriend… It turns out that not all guys who seem good end up being good in the end. As he watches his professor’s relationship dissolve he can’t help feeling like an awful person for being an active participant in it.
It never once crosses his mind that Harry was being groomed and abused in a grossly different way than he was used to.
OR
Not only do old secrets get revealed, but Professor Snape’s boyfriend takes advantage of Harry while he’s staying there for the summer leading to shifts in perspective and possibly… healing?

Summary
Eighth Year. The War is over, but the Obsession has begun.
Harry Potter is back at Hogwarts, broken yet incredibly powerful. His only safe haven is in the dark, where a visceral secret binds him to his Professor: Severus Snape. What begins as dependence transforms into a game of control, where Power is not given, but taken.
But Harry is of age, and the protective shadow of Hogwarts has dissolved.
Unbeknownst to him, ancient bloodlines are claiming their heir. Harry is unprepared, he knows nothing, but the houses of Potter, Black, and Peverell are propelling him toward a world of ruthless politics. He must become an Archon, sit on the dreaded Wizengamot, and the Magical World must be rebuilt.
Will their secret bond, forged on the edge of a precipice, withstand the weight of a power Harry never wanted?
Don't look away. The world has stopped waiting.

When Muggle medicine fails, Severus Snape is the one to answer the call for aid. He soon realizes that all he has been told of the boy's 'pampered', 'loved' and 'spoiled' life have been utter fabrications.

Summary
Harry Potter is used to headaches. When he was little he would get one every day. All he had to do was blink, and it would be gone.
————-()————-
“Are you feeling alright, Harry?”
The room looked weird. Harry felt weird. He stared at his professor blankly. It was hot in here. He felt like he was floating.
“Harry?”
Hermione put her arm on his shoulder. He turned to look at her. Swallowed the blood in his mouth. He felt so strange.
Don't worry, he wanted to tell her. I'll blink and it will all be over.
His mouth didn't move.
And then he blinked.

Summary
It wasn’t that the Dursleys abused Harry, really. There were no horrible beatings, no injuries that left marks, nothing like that. But they were cruel with their words, and they controlled his food to the point that some days he thought he might go insane, and Vernon did slap him pretty hard the one time, after Harry dropped a soapy dinner plate and it shattered. Sometimes Vernon flew into rages, but it wasn’t, like, horrible. Harry could always maneuver his way through.
Or, the one where Harry is an American high school student, and Tom Riddle is a whole other kind of villain.
