Summary
Pain splintered through his wing, but he knew he just needed to make it over this forest...
Seeing those kind brown eyes were, somehow, nothing compared to the dark ones that peered at him, as well.
In those eyes, he'd only ever seen scorn in, a sparkle of concern merged with the clicking feeling.
Was this what it was like for someone to...unconditionally care?

Summary
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.

Summary
“At least tell me your name?”
Harry threw his head back over his shoulder, looking the man up and down once more. He seemed innocent enough. It was just his name, after all. They were neighbors. No harm in it.
“It’s Harry,” he said finally. “Harry Potter.”
OR
Neglect can be one of the most painful forms of abuse, being ignored by your guardians when all you want is love hurts. No one seems to care if Harry lives or dies so he spends a lot of time wandering around Little Whinging on his own. His friendly neighbor seems to think that this is dangerous. If only someone paid enough attention to Harry to tell him that his neighbor is a little too friendly...
OR
“This smells fishy,” Severus muttered out loud.
“Fishy?” Harry questioned, wrinkling his nose as if sniffing the air. “It doesn’t smell fishy to me.”
Oh, sweet Merlin, the first years could still be so sweet and precious and Severus was going to kill the son of a bitch who had stolen the innocence from this one.

Summary
Since the war, Severus has been living a quiet life. That is, he would have, had Potter not insisted on spamming him with incessant letters. Letters Severus has of course NOT responded to – he has better things to do with his day.
One morning, however, The Daily Prophet informs him the brat has gotten himself into trouble again – and, apparently, disappeared. Before Severus even has the time to roll his eyes at this news, he is rudely interrupted…

Summary
"Twenty some odd children and yet you’re the only one who comes back into the castle with frostbite.”
Harry sighed. So they were back on that.
“Look on the bright side. At least I came back at all.”
Professor Snape scowled. “You are not nearly as humorous as you believe yourself to be.”
OR
it's the winter holidays, and Harry just wants to play with his new friends in the snow. If only Professor Snape didn't have to be such a fuddy-duddy about it.

Summary
“He seems to be under the assumption that since the Dursley’s are no longer his legal guardians, he has nowhere to stay this summer.”
Severus scoffed. “And I suppose an orphanage would be a better option as opposed to myself.”
Albus shrugged casually. “Is he aware that you’re even an option?”
“Well of course he…” Severus trailed off, frowning. “Why wouldn’t he?”
“You’re not his legal guardian,” Albus offered bluntly. “While you have done a lot for him, you are certainly in no way responsible for his welfare.”
Severus glared. “Legally speaking, no, but otherwise of course I am responsible for him! I am the one who took him from that wretched home, the one who has been there through nightmares and medical visits and-“
“My, my, Severus. Could it be that you are jealous?”
***
in which Severus has to address the reality of his relationship with Harry with more than just words.

Silver Spoon Child Eating off a Paper Plate by MellarkandArt
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
22 Feb 2024

Summary
Set at the start of book five. The ever-busy Dumbledore is a little delayed in sending that howler to Petunia, and so when Vernon insists that Harry needs to leave the house as he's clearly a danger to the family, Harry is packed and down the road with no protest, causing the blood wards to break. The Dursleys instantly become a vulnerable target for Death Eaters, and Harry himself is snatched by a Death Eater, but it's Severus Snape and this is coming from a Severitus writer so you've likely already figured out where all of this is going.
***
Snape didn’t become Harry’s guardian because he wanted to be. He did it because it was the best option they had at the time.
Snape didn’t start giving Harry Occlumency lessons because he wanted to help him. He did it because it’s what the headmaster told him to do.
Snape didn’t grow to care about Harry because he wanted to. He just did.

Summary
Severus looked Harry over, noting the slight flush on his cheeks and the way his eyes appeared glassy. “Is there something you need?”
“Yeah, actually. I was wondering if I could get a Pepper-Up? I’m not feeling very well,” Harry admitted, his cheeks burning as he said it.
“What’s the matter?” Severus asked, flicking his wand and shutting his office door for some privacy.
