    Summary

    After an accident in potion class, Severus thinks it’s best if Harry had a better, safer home.
    So Severus tries to help Harry get to know his potential new adoptive parents. Though the process isn’t easy for any of them, it’s for the best (or so Severus tells himself).
    In the end, it turns out Severus wants Harry to stay just as much as Harry doesn’t want to leave.

    Summary


    A series of one-shots following Harry and Severus as he is rescued from the Dursleys in the summer after first year, and their story together unfolds from there, in fits and starts and half-skidded steps.

    Each fic's title will include a flower whose Victorian Flower Language meaning (some are plants/shrubs but shhh) will have some significance to the one-shot:
    White Chrysanthemum - Truth
    Larkspur - Open heart/Levity, or Fickleness
    Angelica - Inspiration
    Arborvitae - Unchanging friendship
    Hydrangea - Gratitude for being understood
    Zinnia - Thoughts of absent friends; Lasting affection
    Belladonna - Silence
    Begonia - Beware
    Edelwiess - Devotion, Courage

     

    For in-series chronology (rather than the order of writing):
    1st Year Summer: White Chrysanthemum (1), Larkspur (2), Angelica (3), Belladonna (7), Hydrangea (4)
    Early 2nd Year: Zinnia (5), Arborvitae (6)
    Overarching 2nd Year: Begonia/Edelwiess (8, most likely)

    Summary


    Severus, for all of his genuine faults and less genuine appearances, does not condone any child coming to harm. It results in men like him.

     

    ~~~

    Severus is called to check on Harry after the mess of the end of his First Year, and to have Petunia call him a freak right out of the gate is far from encouraging. To then find the boy curled up in a corner of a locked room only confirms things.

    Severus takes Harry away from that abominable place without hesitation, and perhaps even wins enough of his trust to be asked to take him in by the end of it all.

    ~~~

     

    (White chrysanthemums represent Truth in Victorian flower language.)

    Summary

    What if Severus Snape had always cared for the son of his late beloved? What if all the hate and prejudice he'd shown toward him all those years had been established by Albus Dumbledore, who had been playing his spy and the Golden Boy like pawns on his chessboard? The night when Snape is ordered to deliver the Sword of Gryffindor in the Forest of Dean, Ronald Weasley fails to show up in time to dive after Harry. Hence, the Death Eater is left to compromising his cover to save him. But what happens when the boy returns to consciousness and takes in the sight of the slimy murderer of his late mentor?
