    Summary

    When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

    Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

    Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

    Summary

    Summer 1976, after Severus and Lily's fifth year. Their friendship didn't fall apart, on the contrary: Severus confessed his feelings for Lily and they became a couple. But summer isn't what Severus dreamt it to be - Tobias Snape has turned his son's holidays into a living hell. Will Severus survive till the next school year? Will Lily and her family be able to save him in time?

    While this story explores difficult themes of child abuse and sexual violence, it is ultimately a tale of recovery, resilience, and love. Explicit scenes in the early chapters are clearly marked with warnings, so you can bypass them if you wish. As the narrative progresses, the focus shifts towards Severus and Lily’s journey through the trials of the First Wizarding War.

    Summary

    Unsatisfied with his post-war life, Harry decides to get to the root of all of his problems when that root was still working at Borgin and Burkes shop in the late 40s. He’s the Master of Death, damn it, he can do what he wants for once in his life.

    Tom Riddle isn’t particularly happy about working at a small, dingy shop for magical artifacts, no matter how interesting those artifacts are. He’s even less happy when an insufferable stranger sets up the most obnoxious flower shop right across the street.

    What follows would be a romantic comedy, if it weren’t for politics.
