Summary
After the war, Harry tries to convince himself that studying for his N.E.W.T.s is important, but his mind keeps wandering through dark alleyways and empty corridors. It's Luna Lovegood who finds him in the library, worried about the "grey auras full of Nargles" he's carrying.
Or: five times Harry and Luna kissed while counting stars, and one time they lost count entirely.

Summary
Severus’ summer is not going well. He has barely adjusted to the idea of the one and only Harry Potter joining Slytherin house, and definitely does not want to be dealing with the brat over the holidays. But it turns out that there’s more to Potter’s home life than he knows, and Severus might have to take a far more active role in the boy’s life if he wants to protect him; a role that he is painfully under-qualified for.
Oh, and there is a lot of paperwork.
(Takes places in the summer after Harry’s first year.)

Summary
The summer Harry turned eleven, when he got the very first (and last) Hogwarts acceptance letter, Petunia, knowing how the wizarding world was, wrote a letter in Harry's name saying he didn't wish to attend.
No other letters came. Hagrid never came. Petunia and Vernon never gave him Dudley's second room. Harry never went to Hogwarts.
That is, until he blew up aunt Marge. She had it coming though.Series

Summary
The Boy Who Lies. Everybody jumped at the chance to stomp on Harry and his credibility, turning their backs on him. Whispers, glances, stares - that’s all he was worth receiving. Liar.
Friends turned foes. Dumbledore wouldn’t spare him a look. Umbridge and her quill. There was a limit to how much Harry could handle - and when Severus cast him away, that limit broke. Harry went down a dangerous spiral, one full of burned bridges and loneliness.

Caught In The Cusp Of Home (In The Hollow Of A Hydrangea) by Otaku6337
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
12 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
(It's a rainy day, and Severus notes just how entranced Harry seems with it. And, well, when he offers for them to go outside, Harry definitely isn't going to say no.)~~~
"Would you like to go out today?" Harry snaps to attention, staring at Snape with quivering-tight shoulders, fingers clenching together, unable to help the sheer hope rising through him,
"Out in the rain?" He doesn't want to trust it, to assume that it's just okay. He doesn't think that Snape would be trying to trick him now, but it's still hard to trust something he wants so much. He knows that wanting something normally means that nobody else wants him to have it.
"Should you want to."
~~~
And all at once he's leaping forwards, jumping double-footed, knees bent-
Water splashes out in a big wave, all noise and movement and spattering, the weight of his own landing shuddering through him in the best way.
Harry can't help but laugh, loud and bubbly and utterly unrestrained, with just how very fun this is. How free he feels.
(Another part/fic for my Flower Severitus AU, although this could be read separately to the rest!!)

After Harry blows up Aunt Marge, Dumbledore decides it's not safe for Harry to spend the rest of the summer at the Leaky Cauldron, and instead sends him to stay at Spinner’s End with Professor Snape.
It's tense, awkward, and teeming with misunderstandings...but it might be the best thing that's happened to either of them. They're both been without a family for a very long time.

when life gives you lemons (you overachieve like the chaos god you are) by asthmaticbee

Summary
"Uuh, so... hi! I'm Midoriya Izuku and I'm going to be teaching you Quirk Analysis!"
"What the fuck, Deku?"
Or, how one innocently overachieving chaos gremlin nonchalantly gets a university degree, teaching license and job offer before high school and causes Eraserhead's alcoholism.
(the last part might be exaggerated)

Summary
He stared at his phone, heart clenching painfully. Crumpling in his chest and bleeding. His fingers fiddled with the second ring on his finger—the one that wasn't his.
The one that Katuski had thrown at his head this morning.
-or-
They've never missed a date night. But Katsuki had never taken his ring off, either.

six degrees of separation by gravitates

Summary
Izuku tries to hold it in. He digs his nails into his palms and bites down on his lip hard enough to bleed. Stares at the side of Kacchan’s face and maps out every beautiful feature to imprint on memory—the line of his jaw, the divot right below his lip, the deep red of his eyes. If he looks hard enough at all the good things he can forget about Kacchan leaving, he hopes.
But when the departure hall calls for his flight, something inside Izuku snaps and he utterly, utterly breaks.
Right then, the distance between New York and Musutafu—spanning over ten thousand kilometres—doesn't feel as far as the distance between their dreams.
Kacchan leaves to New York for two years. Their long distance relationship takes a toll on Izuku.
