Summary
Severus Snape wakes in blood and confusion, uncertain whether he's dreaming or living. The hospital wing blurs with contradiction: familiar and alien, comforting and suffocating. His head throbs with secrets he can't quite grasp.
And then she appears.A story about fragmented memories, desperate longing, and the terrible moments when the past refuses to stay buried.

Summary
“So, would you tell me? About all the stuff you’re worried I’ll hate you for, so I can tell you you’re just being silly?”
In the few months since Voldemort's final downfall, Severus' life has changed more than he could ever have expected. With the help of therapy, he's rebuilt the friendships he lost to the war, as well as built many new ones. But, he only has one friend who truly understands what it's like to struggle with disorders that are invisible to the rest of the world.
Like Severus, Natalie's life has been far from easy, but that only makes her more determined to make the most of it. To a man who's only recently decided life is worth living, she shines brilliantly; to herself, she's merely hiding shame and struggle beneath a dazzling optimism. Severus makes her feel seen in a way no man ever has, a partner in life she can share her insecurities with, and she loves him for it — but she knows he doesn't feel the same way about her.
As they share their best and worst parts with each other, Severus soon realises he feels far more for Natalie than just friendship. But, is he really ready for a partner? And, if he is, can a wizard and a Muggle truly understand each other enough to fall in love?

Summary
Lily Potter survives the night Voldemort murders Harry.
Severus Snape is rewarded with the woman he’s spent a lifetime trying to forget.
Spinner’s End is a cage of Death Eaters and old ghosts. To survive, Lily must become something she swore she’d never be: the kind of woman who uses a man’s obsession as a weapon. The kind who seduces a Death Eater. The kind who remembers, despite everything, that once—before the masks, before the blood—he looked at her like she was magic itself.
And between captive and captor, between grief and regret, between the boy by the river and the Death Eater behind the mask—Lily is about to learn that obsession doesn’t fade.
And some lies, once exposed, burn every kingdom down.

Summary
A sceptic even of things he could see with his own eyes, Severus had never taken anything on faith. He held no belief in an afterlife, even less so a pleasant one. And yet, he had always harboured a great deal of reverence for the power of the mind. He would have hoped that, in its last gasp, his hallucinating psyche might finally absolve him of his lifelong misery. Of course, even in death’s final throes, his own mind couldn’t bring itself to be kind to him.
After closing his eyes in the Shrieking Shack at what he believed to be the moment of his death, Severus opens them again on the train back to King’s Cross at the end of fifth year.

Summary
Part One (OotP) 120k words.
Her remains exhumed as part of Voldemort's grotesque resurrection ritual, Lily Potter is inadvertently brought back to life by unknown magic. She is twenty-one, a widow, and mother to a rebellious teenage boy. Bafflingly, her ex-best friend, Severus Snape, is said to have worked tirelessly to protect her son over the years, yet wants nothing to do with her. For his part, Harry Potter, at first overjoyed to have his mother back alive, begins to chafe under her authority and worry she has feelings for the teacher he so despises.
Part Two (HBP + DH) In progress.
After a dramatic summer, Harry vows to focus on Dumbledore’s lessons, not his mother’s love life. Try as he might, he cannot ignore Snape’s increasingly suspicious behavior: covering for Malfoy, pathetically fawning over Lily, and pretending he doesn’t hate Harry. Lily throws herself into teaching and recruitment efforts but frets over Severus and his refusal to disclose the details of the burden Dumbledore has placed on his shoulders.

Summary
He stood in the headmaster’s office once again, stone faced and insolent. Resentfulness burned in his dark eyes. It frightened her. He was a boy now, what kind of man would he become?

Minerva struggles with the idea that even those who have strayed can find a path back to the light.This work provides insight into the highs and lows of the relationship between Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall.

Summary
If Severus Snape had more than a token amount of control over his own life, he would not have chosen to relive 1991, and he certainly would have appreciated being allowed the luxury of his own body. However, since this was the situation he found himself in, he was hell bent on making the best of it. On the whole, he expected he’d do a better job of it than Potter, and why not? After all, as a fully trained wizard with a mastery in potions, nearly two decades experience in espionage, and knowledge of the future — he’d certainly expect to do better than an arrogant teenager more focused on quidditch than his responsibilities.
In which Severus Snape learns that being The Boy Who Lived is rather more difficult than he would have expected and he overthinks everything because being a ten-year-old is boring.

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.)
