    Summary

    She was doomed to become the Ugly Dark Witch of her childhood tales, no matter what she did. And that was the role she would grow into — damn her heart, damn her dreams of light and sunshine and kind, handsome princes.
    Hunger still clawed an endless pit in her belly, and nothing — no one — could ever fill it, placate the beast, satiate her to the marrow.
    She was to be always hollow, always a ghost in her own skin, a dream-like mirage of a girl.

    He couldn't run away. On that, he and his family agreed. He had simply to eradicate the putrescence until he was brand-new, and clean, and more alive than any of those walking, decaying Black corpses would ever be.
    He fought death with a thunderous excess of life, until he was gorged with it, until he could drown inside its pulsing, living core.

    This is a tale where Beast and Beauty are one and the same - where Cinderella plays the role of the Wicked Witch and the handsome, rebellious Prince Charming does not save her. A story of mutual haunting, of an obsession spanning two decades, of transformation - and, perhaps, of love, too.

    Summary

    Severus had always known that he would die in a painful, most horrifying way ever since back when he was almost beaten to death by his father, then mauled by a werewolf, then thrashed around by a maniac overlord. His miserable, luckless life only seemed to lead to that one day when he would be struck down by a bloody snake, of all things.
    Bleeding out in front of Harry Potter was just the last humiliation Lady Destiny had in store for him.
    Suddenly staring into Potter senior’s eyes again while being levicorpused was just the icing on the cake.

    Summary

    Severa Snape had always been unwanted, so it was no surprise when her best friend abandoned her the moment they arrive at Hogwarts. Nor was it a shock that she became the Marauders' favorite target. School was just another battlefield she must survive, and magic was the perfect weapon. Who could blame her for diving into the Dark Arts when it had been her only safe space? It was a cruel world out there, and if she wished to endure it, she must learn to be even more cruel. But when a misunderstood werewolf who knows what it is to be judged offers her the first taste of true understanding, and the silver-eyed prankster she swore to despise awakens a magic she can’t ignore, Severa is forced to question everything. Perhaps the people she once hated are the only ones who truly see her.

    Please note: This is an alternate universe where:
    1. Severus was born female (Severa)
    2. Hogwarts doesn't start until students are fourteen years old
    3. Ages of characters, timelines, and magical parameters have been altered to fit the needs of the story
