Summary
Severus stopped in front of the shelf where they keep their own personal stash of potions. He reached for a contraceptive potion. He invented this variation solely for himself, entirely catered to his own body, eliminating the known side-effects of the other commercial contraceptives in circulation. For years, the potion worked efficiently.
Perhaps tonight, there wouldn't be any need for it.

Summary
When Severus had arranged to marry an Auror, he’d known it would bring trouble. As an up and coming Death Eater, he was willing to do whatever necessary to free his mother from her abusive marriage, even if it meant entering one himself. It had seemed simple enough; a few years of marriage, and he’d move on with his life, earning the Dark Lord’s favour by passing him information on the Aurors and the Ministry. But, as much as he’d planned, he’d forgotten to account for one crucial possibility:
That he would fall in love.
In a dark and cruel world, Kingsley soon becomes one of the few lights Severus has left. And, together, they make a vow far truer than those at their wedding.
They’re going to survive the war — or they’re going to bring You-Know-Who down with them.
A/N: Graphic Violence tag only for brief description of an injury, but if you read the books you'll be fine. Nothing crazy dark, and every major character gets a happy ending, but all is fair in love and war!

Summary
In Greater Marrow, there are but a few simple rules to survive the night: porch lights stay on till dawn, quirky fish dishes are a standard fare, and the fog keeps everyone inside after sunset. Newcomer Harry learns this from the gruff bartender who tends to the lighthouse beacon. What lurks in the fog -- surely, not monsters? Would the press discover Harry's private hideaway? And why does his new acquaintance remind Harry of Severus Snape? Let's find out.

Summary
In the summer of 1998, three wizards come to terms not only with still being alive, but with a new life-changing discovery: a soulmate mark. Shapeless, colourless, painless. Like a drop of watered down ink.
A story about falling in love, healing, and reconnecting with a sense of self.

Summary
Severus realizes he’s in too deep on a Saturday evening, when the Dark Lord is as angry as he is charismatic, rage oozing through the air in a dark sludge, spells flying in rapid, flashing succession towards the object of his ire.
(Snape realizes he's in a cult. The hard part is getting out.)
