Summary
What if Tonks went for Snape instead of Lupin? When Tonks takes Occlumency lessons with Snape, she sees things in his head he would have preferred to keep secret. In this story, Tonks and Snape negotiate a fragile relationship while fulfilling their duties for the Order..
“Why are you like this?”
Snape’s bony leg stiffens.
“If you’ve called me here to insult me Tonks…” But he doesn’t finish the thought or move away from her probing fingers. She strokes her hand up his thigh and back down as if gentling a horse.
“I’m not. I’m serious. Why are you like this?”
“Like what?” Snape spits.

Summary
** COMPLETED **
The new Ministry had fully exonerated Severus Snape for what he had done during the war and further awarded him with the Order of Merlin, First Class for his extraordinary work as a spy. It wasn't a popular move with the public, however, and Hermione Granger defended him to anyone who would listen, but even The Prophet grew weary of her advocacy. But after reading a magazine specializing in romance stories, she sees an opportunity to defend Professor Snape once more by way of a tale about the recent war featuring a character very much like the irascible and unsociable potions professor. Adopting a pseudonym to hide her identity, she carefully weaves the people she knows into the plot through subsidiary roles. When the story takes off - especially with the young women of Hogwarts - it disrupts the school in a variety of ways, but no one is more upset, infuriated, or seriously hacked-off by it all than the model for the protagonist, and when he finds out who the author is, he plans to eviscerate them. But as it progresses, the story becomes far more than a simple matter of rehabilitation for the two people most closely touched by the tale.

Maybe the best of the “Years 6/7 but secret romance” stories. Very romantic, very well-characterized, very well-written.

Cave Malafides dona ferentes. Was that right? Beware of Malfoys bearing gifts... It was an easy rule to remember, so how had Hermione allowed herself to end up going home with such an unexpected new find?

A simple tale of survival, recovery and redemption, with a side order of perfume and Christmas. Plus sex. Professor Snape certainly won't forget the sex.
I've just borrowed them, I promise to put them back. No money was earned in this enterprise at all.

Summary
The last thing Severus can remember is overhearing a prophecy in a dingy, goat-scented pub. Now there’s a James Potter clone with Lily’s eyes, a much aged Minerva McGonagall, and an infuriatingly familiar woman with frizzy hair all saying he is not a loyal Death Eater. Looking in a mirror proves that he is, indeed, suddenly pushing fifty. All in all, not his best day.

Summary
Snape realised he was breathing hard. His back was against the door. It occurred to him he should just leave, Apparate away. Leave her with her grief and her pain and her anger.
Instead: “Stupid fucking girl.” Ragged. Furious. Then: “How dare you ask that of me.”
“There’s no one else,” she said, and although her voice was thick her eyes were still dry. “No one will have me.”

Summary
Snape's first question to Harry about wormwood and asphodel was not just a potions question, but also a message, which in the language of flowers meant "I bitterly regret Lily's death".
Harry never gets the message behind the question, but what if Hermione does, years later?
Not canon-compliant, but canon-inspired.
