Summary
When he arrives at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is not at all the boy everyone wants him to be. Harry does not speak, he does not make eye contact, he does not cast spells, he makes no magic at all. Not until he explodes in a hurricane of Dark magic, nearly leveling the entire Forbidden Forest with his uncontrollable fury.
Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts are horrified.
As the parasitic magic continues to consume the shy and skittish Boy Who Lived, it becomes up to his reluctant Head of House, Severus Snape, to determine exactly what’s wrong with the boy he loathes so very much — before it is too late.

Summary
Twenty—five years later, Silco wasn’t sure when it happened exactly; when he became a part of two rather than one. It must have happened unconsciously, when he wasn’t paying attention. He hardly remembered a time when she wasn’t with him; when he existed without her at his side, following him into the shadows, running with him into battle, sitting together on their throne of Zaun.
He wanted her. He hadn’t wanted this.
He knew her as intimately as he knew himself, but he couldn’t have known it would end this way.
Nothing could have told him it would end this way.

Summary
The attack at Godric’s Hollow didn’t kill Harry Potter, but it left him with a permanent spinal cord injury. While the Wizarding World celebrated, the Potters faced a harsh new reality. Unable to cope with the demands of raising a paraplegic son, James Potter abandons his family, leaving Lily to pick up the pieces.
She finds unexpected support in Severus Snape, who steps in to provide the medical care, structure, and fatherly love Harry desperately needs. This story follows Harry’s childhood as he navigates a magical world ill-equipped for wheelchairs, preparing for Hogwarts not as the Boy Who Lived, but as a determined boy who must fight for his dignity and his place in a world built for those who can walk. -

Summary
Voldemort succeeds in getting the Philosopher's stone from Harry at the end of his first year and disappears from Hogwarts, taking the eleven year old boy-saviour with him as his prize to enact his revenge on. The years of abuse Harry survived at the hands of the Dursleys were a walk in the park compared to the unimaginable horror of being held captive at the mercy of the newly resurrected Dark Lord and his sadistic followers. When Snape returns to continue his role as a spy he realises he has a dire decision to make - risk his life to try and save the son of his enemy or live with the guilt of watching Lily's son die at the hands of his former master. The consequences of his choice are far reaching and have the power to change the course of both of their lives from that moment forward, for better or for worse.
Canon divergence (Second year rewrite), believable Severitus featuring (mostly) true to canon characters, this one will certainly be long and ansgty so buckle up my friends! -

Summary
The boy appeared as a small, crumpled figure in the cupboard, barely illuminated by the ghostly spell. His wild, unruly black hair stood out even in the dim light, and his broken glasses perched crookedly on his nose. He was painfully thin, his clothes hanging off his frame like sacks. Severus’s sharp gaze lingered on his face—too young, too frail. The boy should have been around seven but looked no older than five.
~~~
This is a story about Severus Snape discovering compassion and affection in the most unexpected place—a small, silent boy who never spoke a word but conveyed entire stories through the depth of his actions, and the emotions in his gaze. It’s a tale of two scarred souls, each carrying their own burdens, finding solace, connection, and healing in each other’s presence.This is a story that’s almost entirely fluff with angst and just a sprinkle of plot.
