Summary
Harry Potter never ends up entering the wards placed on the Dursley home.
In fact, Lady Fate had other plans.
Where those plans lead, is another story:
Dumbledore now lacks a pawn.
And the Dark Lord may have unleashed a being beyond the Wizarding World's comprehension.
(This has been in my notes app for four years and extremely rewritten so it'll be fast paced for awhile until fourth or fifth year)

Summary
The war ended. But something older woke in its silence.
A legacy not written in prophecy but in blood, memory, and breath.
Harry Potter, no longer the Boy Who Lived, stands at the threshold between names — between what was and what must become. At his side: Severus Snape, no longer just a shadow in the dark, but a constant. A vow unspoken.
As the world stirs with old magics, Tribunal secrets, and the forgotten truths of the Nex Umbrae, they must face what comes not just with wand or fire, but with memory, love, and the price of choice.
Seven thrones. One unclaimed. And a name — Rhaziel — that echoes across time.
This is not a story of power. This is the story of what remains after it is let go.

Summary
Severus leads a simple life, but he lives under the shadow of a grave secret his mother refuses to tell him. Then there’s the mysterious boy from across the woods who seems to appear out of nowhere every few years, always in need of Severus’ help. Who is he really, and could he hold the answers to the questions Severus has never dared to ask?
This is an AU set in 17th-century France, but within the world of canon: Remus is a werewolf, magic follows the same rules, Beauxbatons exists somewhere in the background. Featuring a painfully naïve Severus and a rather cynical Remus, because they’ve led different lives — but then again, maybe they’re not all that different.

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
Harry Potter was never meant to survive - let alone disappear.
When he returns to the wizarding world years after being presumed dead, everyone expects a saviour. Instead, they find a boy with bright Killing curse eyes, an innate understanding of Dark Magic and runes, and teeth far too sharp for comfort.
But power always recognises power, and Harry finds himself being pulled - inevitably, irresistibly - toward the two men who wield it best.Or, "You think you're clever, don't you?" Severus said, though without the bite he usually reserved for such remarks.
Harry tilted his head, a wry smirk on his blood red lips. “I think I’m clever enough... Say hi to your husband for me." -

Summary
Years after the war, Severus Snape is finally sentenced for his crimes. To the surprise of himself (and of True Crime Witches everywhere) he isn’t given the Kiss.
Instead, stripped of his magic and exiled to the Rocky Mountains, he spends his days making muggle soap, riding bikes, and pretending he doesn’t miss the feeling of a wand in his hand.
That is, until an anonymous user begins flooding his online cycling journal with comments.

Summary
A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. The same question arises in every soul: "For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?"
...Or, a classic approach to stubbornness.

Summary
After seven years in Azkaban, Severus is finally free. Unemployed and homeless in a world that has moved on without him, he has no other choice but to try and rebuild his life from the ground up. In the process, he will have to endure: a cursed apartment that breaks its own furniture for fun, a remarkably round owl called Britney Spears, and Harry Potter, who is obsessed with a potion that does not exist and has a soft spot for floral patterns and nail polish.
(Or: when Severus Snape was fifteen, he made a terrible mistake. When he was forty-six, he made it again.)

Summary
Three years after the Battle of Hogwarts: The battle is over, Voldemort is dead, the last Horcrux destroyed, and a new sense of normality is slowly returning to the British wizarding world.

Summary
Harry Potter has already lost the war once.
In 2024, with the resistance collapsing and Stella still impossible to defeat, a last, desperate potion sends Harry and the surviving members of the resistance back into their younger bodies.
The good news? They know what is coming now. The bad news? This time, they have two villains to defeat instead of one.
Harry changes his face, takes the name Gold, and returns to Hogwarts as the new Defence professor.
Severus Snape sees through him immediately.
Instead of exposing him... he steps closer. He knows the new professor is dangerous. But whatever Gold is—war mage, liar, sex god in leathers—Snape wants him anyway.
Meanwhile, Professor Gold partners Ron Weasley with Draco Malfoy for the entire bloody year.
This proves to be a terrible idea.
While Snape and Harry negotiate desire like diplomats standing over a bomb, Ron and Draco simply light the fuse.
All four of them are trying to survive each other in the middle of a war.
What could possibly go wrong?Warning: now featuring… terrible author notes and high levels of filth.

Summary
After surviving the Battle of Hogwarts, a long convalescence, and a short trial, Snape walks free and promptly vanishes from Wizarding society. Six years pass before he shows his face again. A lot can change in six years, and a romantically disillusioned and inebriated Harry hits Snape up for a friends-with-benefits arrangement. After all, they share an experience most people have never had: they both know what it's like to be dead. Their liaison works surprisingly well until Harry's reckless behaviour as an Auror leads to unethical practices and personal calamities, and things start to fall apart.

Summary
Severus Snape has a series of petty feuds with his colleagues, casual sex with the werewolf to whom he is subletting, semi-regular Sunday brunches with fascists, a bar tab he may never settle, and the reluctant custody of Shetland pony which his small yard on Spinner's End is not zoned to stable. This seems well enough in terms of standing commit for any twenty-something to have to contend -
That is, until he and Remus Lupin are bullied into fostering two screaming toddlers because of some form of blood magic forced upon the pair. Or because of the ‘Greater Good’ his boss is constantly banging on about. Or, as the put-out Potions Master rather more suspects, because a witch with no such idealistic aspirations happened to be having a particularly bad day when she by chance met the Boy Who Lived.
Can the young couple possibly survive this particular ‘happily ever after’?
(Or, a bog-standard Snupin raise Harry thing, but in Cokeworth, and Dudley is there, too.)
