Summary
Severus Snape, while fierce, isn't terribly effective about defending himself. But it's just plain suicide, however slow, to go after a child in his care.
He's very much his mother's son. He was in hers.
ch 1: Remus needs people to like and think well of him. (It was for his own good really)
ch 2: James was clearly just never going to stop. (Total AU crack)
ch 3: Sirius was on thin ice with the Noble House of Black. (A Severus fantasy)
ch 4: Peter always was a deceptively useful little thing. (It's never about him)Series

Summary
Slytherin has been lumbered with a disagreeable, low-class, shouty, raggedy little troll. With more pride than self-preservation. Ick. And he's even half muggle! Or maybe just half mother-hen... But either way, noisy, and trouble, and... an excellent decoy, actually, and oi, Snape, what do you want for your History notes?
Or: the darkest baby Death Eaters in Slytherin find each other so consumingly alien they forget to grow up hateful.

Summary
The spring of Severus's fifth year wasn't so much one long nightmare as one of those tooth-rattling roller coasters that turns you upside down, spins you like a top, bangs your skull repeatedly against the headrest, toys with free-fall—and looks, to your friends on the ground, at least as horrifying as it feels.
Of course, those have their moments...

Summary
In which all manner of terrible events completely fail to show up for work.
(OK, some of them are just taking the scenic route on their commute, but the point is they aren't here right now.)
Contains makeshift Quidditch, variably appalling culinary experimentation, Lucius being a bit much, Severus being awkward and unfair, an Evan too burned out on fretting to pay proper attention to the politics, disgusting quantities of heart-eyes, and a flat filled only with possibility.Series

Summary
Hovering between graduation and the opening shots of war, two Death Eaters will work towards their masters' degrees—if they can find time between All Of The Feels and bickering about the rent. Perhaps unexpectedly, it's the art student who's burdened with Ancient and Lethally-Forbidden Secrets, but Severus's biggest problem in life is always being someone else's solution.
Not an AU.
No. Really.

Summary
Gryffindor isn't what Slytherin sees in it, and the reverse is even more true. The Potters don't know they look different depending on where you're standing, the Blacks know precisely how they come across and like it that way, and Severus Snape isn't quite who anyone thinks he is—least of all himself.
Britain, Spring of 1980. No one cares what's fair when their people are on the line, and truth would be subjective even if everyone told it. Brute-force battles are clumsy weapons; why not use smoke and smiles, masks and mirrors, or silk scarves in the dark?. Roll up your sleeves, slip into your cloak, and put a reporter who likes you on emergency dial. This is war, kids—pick a side!
...What the hell. Pick three.
Ch. 1: Hogwarts has a history, Narcissa has a party, Rodolphus has a fun craft activity to share, and Severus is left with
the bodya dilemma. Maybe all those mysteries he's read will help?
ahahahano.
-->
Ch. 72: July 31, 11:45 pm:
Potter vs Snape, round 993,234,546,878. Snape vs Potter, round 1.
Love this fic, hate it, or be totally confused: I solemnly swear that this is not a ride you've been on before.Series

Summary
Britain, Summer of 1980. The world isn't made of good people and Death Eaters—and that's true whichever way you cut it. Prophecies have been spoken and heard, children born, Horcuxes hidden, and one Tom Riddle is losing his grip even as his power builds.
Hogwarts is coming. The first smoky tendrils of war are in the air, if you know what to look for, if you know how to see.
Sod all that.
This is Slytherin: family first.

Summary
Autumn: 1980: The wizarding world has been straining against the rotting stitches of tradition and tribalism for at least a thousand years. Every few centuries, things get so bad that even wizards admit there's a problem. It's gonna be one of those years.
Hogwarts may or may not be talking to its newest guardian through the stones, a government under threat that can't be pinned on a map is a dangerously predictable animal, the elements that move a nation are blood, gold, and ink, and Tom Riddle is pretty sure they should all be thanking him for the kick in the pants.
What'cha got in there, Pandora?
Ch. 47: Severus suspects that the group noun for implications might be 'an alarm.'

Summary
Sirius babysits and Severus bakes cookies. Neither of these things is strictly true. Marauders, your archenemy. No—look down... No, not metaphorically!
Sirius's kitchen contains two Gryffs, two snakes, two Blacks, two adult male humans, and neither of the two people in it would agree with even one of those descriptions. It's just till teatime, Sirius, you can make it...Chapter 4: The Flyte in the Ointment (and epilogue)
In which Sirius is brave, Evan is laid-back and chatty, and Severus reads Beowulf (or possibly Jabberwock)
In which Sirius is trying, Evan has a lot of opinions, and Severus is patient(ly lying in wait).
In which Sirius is a cowardly lion, Evan is a circling fin in rough waters, and Severus lets his boyfriend loosen the lid on the pickle jar.Everybody's a hat-stall; pick your poison.
(mostly) Fluffy crack taken seriously.

Summary
ch 12: Lions and Tigers and Crocodiles, Oh… what?
In which the characters answer questions from all interested parties. Includes:
* Who made James, Evan, and Reggie into pigs? Was it Circe? It was Circe, wasn’t it.
* Why is Severus buying circular knitting needles? Should we be afraid? (Spoiler: YES)
* Who buys James Potter’s pants?
* What kind of car would Lord Voldemort drive?
* How does Severus really feel about beards?!?!
* Is he insane, crazy, or merely surrounded by idiots? (Debate!)
and many, many more!A continuing effort made possible by you our readers, and by the letters SOS.
Ask us anything! (In the comments, even!)Only be warned: if you want a spoiler you're out of luck, and if it's too personal Severus may slip veritaserum in your OJ to balance the blackmail potential. (But not in your coffee. He's not an animal.)

Summary
You know how stories often have a narrator? It's like that, except for art.
And you know that thing where it says 'dead dove, do not eat' and it means you should believe the tags and be warned? It's like that, except if the bag said 'jellybeans.'
