Summary
“You came here,” Severus tries to look composed, even when he isn't. He doesn't even sound composed, and he probably doesn't look so, either. “To ask… for a bond. With me.”
“A… a marriage bond, sir. Yes.”
“You came here to inform me you must… you must bond with me through marriage.”
“…Yes, sir.”
Harry and Severus find themselves in a situation where their marriage is the only possible way how to protect the Wizarding world after the war. Written, like all of my stories, for self-therapeutic reasons.

Summary
Tom Riddle was looking for the perfect artifacts to house his soul while working at Borgin and Burkes. He didn’t think the Vanishing Cabinet sold to the shop was particularly noteworthy, that was until it began to smoke and Tom found a teenager within who wore Ravenclaw’s Lost Diadem. Even more intriguing was everything in his mind and memories that Tom could use to succeed as the future Dark Lord, and the wayward teen himself who was much more than Tom could have ever imagined.

Summary
For the longest time, Harry felt like he was a little bird perched apprehensively on a small spot his relatives allowed him to take. Harry had to earn his place, he had no prospects in life, he had nothing. He was always the Freak Boy. Until he wasn't. At age eighteen he came into an inheritance left from his late parents. Suddenly Harry had everything and he could fly freely, spreading his wings wide.
No longer a freak, he had a very big number in his bank account now. But just as big was his heart. It seemed only natural to show love with generosity, money was no issue to him. For others though, it was. With each failed relationship Harry felt more and more miserable. It's not like he ever wished to be wealthy. All he ever really wanted was to be accepted and loved.

Summary
Harry Potter has dealt with a lot of nonsense in his life.
Becoming an omega in a completely different timeline?
Yeah, that’s new.
Especially when the first alpha he meets is Tom Riddle. Alive, gorgeous, smug, and far too interested in the confused omega wobbling in front of him.
Harry’s trying to find his team, keep his dignity, and resist Tom’s stupid unfair face. It’s not going well. -

Summary
The last battle goes very poorly for Harry and his friends. Left tortured and half-mad, Harry is betrayed by the Ministry and exiled to another world. He is captured by Thranduil and the Woodland Elves, at first as an oddity and then as a Being to be protected, revered and kept secret and hidden from the rest of the world. It takes Harry a very long time to realize that he is so well protected that he isn't ever allowed to leave.

Summary
Harry is forced to come to terms with his actions after returning from the Ministry one godfather less, several newly injured friends, an explosive yelling match with a frustrating headmaster, oh and his hastily spoken words causing a surprise creature inheritance.
And for whatever reason Theodore Nott was having a nice wander through the Forbidden Forest of all things.

Summary
Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was. The wizarding world was supposed to be an escape, but even there, he must hide the truth of his abilities. His magic doesn’t fit the rules, and secrets have a way of growing wild.
(If only there was someone who understood...)

Summary
After Sirius falls through the veil, Harry realizes he has a choice: die as the Chosen One or live as himself. He chooses himself.
Armed with self-taught Apparition and a photograph torn from a muggle magazine, Harry disappears to Egypt. He trades his wand for anonymity, his galleons for a flat in Cairo, and his destiny for the simple freedom of surviving one more day.
When Dumbledore sends Snape to drag him back, Harry refuses. And slowly, against all odds, he convinces Snape that they both deserve to live too.

Summary
May 1st, 1998. Harry confronts Headmaster Snape in his office, hunting for horcruxes and answers. Their fight destroys Dumbledore's desk—and the damaged time-turner inside. When the dust settles, they're in 1925, decades before Voldemort's rise.
Stuck in the past with no way home, they accept teaching positions at Hogwarts under false names and a cover story: an arranged marriage. Harry is a horcrux living on borrowed time. Severus has spent seventeen years keeping him alive for a plan that no longer matters. Maybe this time, they can rewrite the ending.

Summary
When Draco's curse goes wrong, Harry finds himself transformed into a kneazle and injured in Severus Snape's potions classroom. Unaware of the creature's true identity, Severus takes in the "stray" kneazle, providing care and unexpected gentleness. As Harry recovers in Severus's private quarters, he discovers a softer side to his intimidating professor—one who reads to him, shares meals, and eventually allows him into his bed.

Summary
When Snape discovers Harry is an accidental Horcrux, he makes a choice that changes everything: he tells the boy the truth. What begins as secret training sessions to find an alternative to Harry's prophesied death becomes something neither of them expected.
As Harry's nightmares worsen and his mental state deteriorates, Snape finds himself confronting uncomfortable truths about the "Golden Boy" he thought he knew. The evidence of systematic abuse, the weight of impossible expectations, and a seventeen-year-old slowly unraveling under burdens no one should carry alone.
When Dumbledore's solution to Harry's screaming nightmares is simply to silence them, Snape takes matters into his own hands. Because someone needs to actually care whether Harry Potter survives—and apparently, that someone is him.

With Severus Snape as his partner in both revolution and romance, they're reshaping wizarding society one calculated act of kindness at a time.
