Summary
When the 426th Annual Potions Guild Conference returns to Hogwarts for the first time in decades, it brings with it Severus Snape. A man Harry hasn't seen in five years, not since Severus left the UK abruptly.
What should be a simple job of protecting Severus for the event gets complicated by their association, and even more complicated when Harry suggests helping Severus out with his romantic troubles by pretending they're in a relationship.

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
Pacify:
1. To allay the anger or agitation of
2. To reduce to a submissive stateHe would do his duty. He would save Draco, if he could. He would protect the students, if and when the school fell to the Deatheaters. And Potter. As far as he was concerned, Potter could have whatever he wanted, now. What was the point of trying to tell him no if he was going to be sacrificed on the pyre of the greater good? If Potter wanted to learn, Severus would be his teacher. If he wanted a master, then Severus would make him submit. And if he wanted a lover... well. Severus would love him. And that was it. Anything else was a waste of time. And there was so little of that.
***
A complete reimagining of books six and seven (plus), running parallel to canon. And then a SHARP DIVERSION FROM CANON.
***
From a reader: "Basically, Pacify is like, you know how in canon both Harry and Severus are pushed and pushed and pushed by external forces/emotional manipulation until they are backed into a corner? Pacify is...what if they were backed into the same corner?"

Summary
Harry, divorced from Ginny for more than a year, spends so much time with her parents that he may as well be dating them. When Charlie comes home for a visit, he realises that Harry's social life revolves around Molly and Arthur and comes to the rescue. His old friend Severus Snape owes him a favour and he calls it in - for Harry. Severus, charged with introducing Harry to gay Wizarding life in London, arranges two nearly perfect blind dates for Harry. The men are everything Harry thought he wanted - but it turns out Harry really didn't know what he wanted at all.
