    Summary

    Wendy has, according to all expectations, grown up.
    Without her parents or any of her brothers around her, she is forced to survive 1930s London married to Daniel Beckwith - the worst sort of man. Every day is a challenge and a new bruise - until she manages to somehow summon none other than the infamous Captain Hook directly to her balcony.
    Each new piece of information brings more questions than answers, and Wendy finds herself itching to understand it all - the mysterious magic that allows the Captain to be called between worlds with nothing but a word, the true lore behind the Neverland of her dreams and the Captain of her nightmares, the fear surrounding her beloved Peter, why she actually looks forward to seeing the Captain again.
    This story uncovers the darkness behind the adventure we remember. It offers us a chance to take ourselves back from those who would deceive us, and write our own story. What truly dwells, after all, beyond the Second Star to the Right?

    Summary

    ¶Summary:
    A year and a half after the end of the war, Severus still hasn't managed to leave Britain. No one knows of his survival, and for months he enjoys a life of silence, solitude and well-deserved peace. Everything would be absolutely perfect, were it not for you, sitting on his empty tombstone everyday to bring condolences and read some poetry. When it's said that curiosity killed the cat...

    ¶Extract:
    "Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls—"
    "It tolls for thee" he concluded. You lifted your chin a little, just to look at him. No, he didn't know your eyes, even though they really did have something familiar. You had existed in the distant past, but Snape was glad he couldn't remember you. Maybe it meant the nightmares were slowly fading. He inhaled deeply, tightened the coat around him as if the smallest detail could still give him away. “You're wasting your time” he said, shrugging. "He can't hear you."

    Summary

    Severus Snape and a restless student share a secret hiding place across the lake.

    Story begins in 1995 in 5th year, canon-compliant through to 1998, and then diverges into a post-war AU.

    This is an atmospheric slow burn and my romantic take on a Snape character study.

    I have the entire story more or less outlined.

    This is a plot focused reader insert.

    Summary

    Maybe a happy ending is too much to wish for, especially when it includes a pessimistic, snarky Slytherin, professor named Severus Snape, and a tenacious, sarcastic Hufflepuff, student named Rosaline Knight. But, when time is forgiving, and allows for mistakes, opportunities, and second chances, what's the harm in trying to come together?

    (A lot of music, puns, and slow burn. You've been warned.)
