Summary
Gondor has been at war for generations. All outsiders are unwelcome, especially those from the nations south and east—but when the Rangers of Ithilien encounter a lone woman on patrol, they spare her life. The Captain takes her to his father, the ruling Steward in the capital city.
Anyone informed knows that Haradric knowledge of medicine is superior to any but that of the elves. Lord Denethor and his sons, Boromir and Faramir, are each an educated politician as well as an elite warrior. They are nothing if not informed.
When Denethor learns that the captive is a medic, he recognizes immediately what her service could mean, and asylum is exchanged for sworn loyalty. What he does not expect, however, is for his mercy to have an even greater impact on his life than on his country.

Summary
FINISHED 22/9/2021
To New York City’s muggle PhD students, Voldemort's daughter is just another of their own; perhaps a little more intense than the rest of the psych lab, certainly with some mania and post-traumatic stress, but who wouldn't be after growing up in a "weird fascist cult" that none of them have heard of? "Physician, heal thyself," her friends joke, and she chokes on the drink she always has in one hand.
To the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix alike, she is a lethal opponent, a military advantage who could give them just the edge they need. Never mind her volatility--she's addicted to adrenaline and out for revenge, and only her parents know as well as Dumbledore that anyone with desires can be controlled.
To the only other spy in either organization, she is an enigma, and in spite of himself he is allowing her to draw him in like a fish on a line. "It's just the tits," he tells himself, "you've been alone for too long," but when she shoots him a wink his world shrinks to five foot ten.

Summary
This won't make a LICK of sense if you haven't read After the Revival (part 1 of this series).
If you have: it's the second of the two alternate endings, and the one in which Severus survives.
Starts off fairly grisly but I promise it ends well.Series
- Part 3 of From Revival To Fall

Summary
This is a slightly altered and abridged version of chapter 33 of my main, long, AU/OC work, After the Revival--please check it out if you enjoyed this!
This is my HC for what led up to Snape's Worst Memory, since it obviously wasn't just "they were bffs and everything was :) cool, and then he called her a mudblood and everything was :( bad." I also imagine their relationship and his love for her as much more platonic than a lot of people interpret it--I think any romantic/sexual tension was less the result of a genuine crush and more the result of "there is one person on earth who I genuinely trust and care about and who I believe, at least to a degree, cares about me, and I am a straight teenage boy and she is a straight teenage girl, oh my god, hormones."
I could honestly write a book about my take on Severus's psychology. (cough borderline personality disorder cough c-ptsd cough also regular ptsd cough borderline fucking personality disorder)

Fluff straight to the artery of "what if Minerva McGonagall adopted Severus when he was a child?"
