Summary
At four years old, Harry Potter learned that humans hurt, but snakes just hide. So he stopped being human.
Now he's eleven—technically. In reality, he’s a python with PTSD, a Parseltongue-only vocabulary, and a neurological inability to remember how legs work. When Hagrid kicks down the door, he finds not a boy, but a traumatized reptile who hasn’t walked, spoken English, or been warm in seven years.
Enter Severus Snape, who did not sign up to be the foster guardian of a dissociated snake, and yet here he is: setting warming charms, prying Harry out of ventilation shafts with Wingardium Leviosa, and discovering that his new ward communicates exclusively in hisses that sound suspiciously like insults.
Year One: Harry learns to walk again, befriends a Draco Malfoy who smells like "food" (and friendship), refuses to play Seeker, and saves the day via strategic biting.

He is inheritor of the Founders' secrets and Godric Gryffindor's magical gift: the ability to form magical bonds with vassals who swear to serve him. Friends and enemies alike react to his new identity, while Lord Gryffindor bears the burden of responsibility for those who choose to swear fealty to him. Meanwhile, Sirius Black is on the loose and the shadows of the Marauders loom large.

Severus Snape and the Next Great Adventure by appleswithoranges for BulShip

Summary
To rebalance a world spinning toward disaster, Lady Magic recruits an unlikely and understandably reluctant champion- the failed, thoroughly unmourned, recently departed Severus Snape, allowing him to return back to life in his fifth year, before his pivotal “Mudblood moment” as a fully repentant, far wiser, less angry version of his former young self. Snape has a Herculean task ahead. Can he fix himself enough to unite the magical world and revive a dying planet?
-----
Slight AU of canon- two pivotal events are different:
1)Lily and James really are flirting in the scene where Snape is hanging upside-down.
2)Snape dies in the Shrieking Shack before he can give his memories to Harry, so Harry never walks to his death a willing sacrifice and dies trying his best to take Voldemort with him. He fails to do so. Harry did collect all the 3 Hallows and is still Master of Death, though. He and Lady Magic convince Death to send Snape back to 1976 to right what went wrong.The rest of the changes are through Snape's (and sometimes Harry's or others) actions as this story diverges very quickly from canon.

Summary
After Harry attempts to run away on the Knight Bus after blowing up Aunt Marge, Snape finds him and brings him back to Spinner’s End. WIP Not sure how/when this will end yet. Be warned: very likely that updates will be infrequent. Will do my best.
