Summary
A series of drabbles/fics exploring my version of “Princeroot,” the rare pair of Snape/Sprout.
Some of these will be new, some are excerpts or outtakes from ‘A Different Shade of Green,’ the prequel in my planned series rewrite.
I would start with “Meeting,” if you haven’t read the prequel, but other than that these can be in any order…

Summary
9 January 1960
The baby came. During the witching hour, because of course he would. Toby noticed me glancing toward the clock as the midwife tidied up. Asked if the boy was unfashionably early, all smiling. He’s so proud. Gran used to say nothing pleased men more than proof they’re men, and she was right. Never seen Toby smile quite like this, nor seen anything near it since our wedding neither. About the clock, I didn’t know how to answer him, so I didn’t. Must’ve thought me worn out, I suppose. He told me to sleep and he’d wake me when the baby needed to eat.
So I slept. Suppose he didn’t have to wonder why I kept so quiet, for once. I never know what to say when he gets to asking about all I can’t answer.
His name is Severus. Toby doesn’t care for it. Were I cleverer, neither would I. Should name him William or Peter or Thomas or Henry or James, something proper and regular.
Then were I cleverer, I wouldn’t be here to begin with.

Summary
A bit of a meta take on this journaling prompt. I created physical journal entries in the vein of junk journaling vibes. Severus' journal entry on his birthday in 1993. Very VERY quietly Snupin, McGonagall plays a bigger role here actually.
For the Snapeshifters Guild discord event "Birthday Bash of Severus Snape"

In the caverns of the castle lived a basilisk — alone for hundreds of years.
Did you ever wonder how that must have felt?- Language:

Summary
I have seen my fair share of fate and fortune, accompanied families as they lived, loved, laughed, despaired and finally left. But there is one woman, I will never forget.
