Blood Wards, Reforged: An August to Remember by SassyPaladin77

Summary
*Updates Weekly*
After Molly Weasley reports shocking abuse on the part of Petunia and Vernon Dursley, Albus Dumbledore makes an official decision to Turn A Blind Eye. After all, the Dursleys *are* the key to Harry's Blood Wards. Though McGonagall is appalled, she is ultimately unwilling to take a stand against Albus.
Enraged at this dual neglect, Severus Snape decides to take matters into his own hands. Little does he know that his attempts to modify Harry's Blood Wards will result in *accidentally adopting* The Boy Who Lived. Shocked and horrified, Severus is left with no choice but to move forward as best he can. After all, there's no use crying over spilled potions. . .
This fic is set just after the Weasley siblings rescue Harry from the barred window/canned soup/cat flap situation in Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets. It is broadly inspired by many of my favorite Snape/Harry Adoption Fics, which I have gathered into the collection Snape_Harry_FoundFamily. Thanks, all y'all, for creating such delightful fics.

Summary
When Harry is forced to endure a summer under Snape’s care, he’s uncertain he has the will to bear through whatever his professor has in store for him.
With the ghost of Cedric over his shoulder, the echo of his relatives’ treatment ringing in his ears, and the absence of anyone he thought still cared about him weighing on his chest, he knows that with just a little more pressure he may totally crumble.
As Harry is plagued by the many consequences of Voldemort’s return, Severus attempts to suffer through the burden of arming the boy’s mind against his original master, all while continuing his subterfuge at the Dark Lord’s feet.
When a connection of consciousness is wound between them, and certain truths about Harry are revealed, they have no choice but to bend to the consequences, and hope they emerge on the other side better for it.
-
A classic slow build Severitus fic with alternating perspectives between Harry and Severus, a unique take on Occlumency, and a lot of angst, focused on what it really looks like when the truth is revealed.
TW: Child Abuse, CSA. It is stark, but not explicit.

Summary
One year after Voldemort killed Lily and James Potter, Severus Snape pays a visit to Number 4 Privet Drive. He has a duty to Lily Evans, the best friend he ever had, and therefore to her son and her sister. He finds himself assuming the role of the child's uncle. As it happens, the friendship between Severus Snape and Petunia Dursley changes both of them, both of their lives, Hogwarts, and their world's future for the better. (It's so much easier to be a good person when you're not clinically depressed, afraid for your family, or stuck in your past trauma).
This is a lengthy story meandering through Harry's childhood, with eventual plans to see it through his Hogwarts years and a very different resolution to canon. But in the meantime, the goal is cuteness and exploring a world with better-adjusted adults in it.

Gilbert let out a short bark of laughter and said,
"First of all, autism isn't even real."
(or: after a light suggestion that he might be autistic, Prussia can't let it go.)

Summary
Harry has always been good at filing things under nerves, or exhaustion, or just one of those things, and moving on before he had to think about what it actually was.
Snape pushes too hard in an Occlumency lesson and finds out why.
The oldest known Obscurial died at twelve. Harry is fifteen. And the Ministry, if it finds out, will call what they do to him a mercy.Bookmarked by rafeind
