    Summary

    As Severus Snape lay dying in the Shrieking Shack, his mind created an oddly detailed and realistic hallucination of his life as a child.

    Only, it didn't seem to be ending, did it?

    Severus was either in a coma and dying, already dead and trapped in some purgatory, completely and utterly insane, or living in the body of his past self.

    Until he could figure out which, he might as well play along and attempt to keep the timeline from shattering into a thousand pieces.

    If only it were that easy...

    What day had he first met Lily, last time around? Could he really afford to avoid doing some odd jobs around town to keep himself fed?

    And, perhaps most suspiciously, why did James Potter keep looking at him like that?!

    Summary

    He's always watched her. He can't help it. Merlin help him, he's been fucking trying though.

    She hates him. He's a vile, bigoted arsehole. Of all the people who have made her feel small, who have made her have to fight and scrape and claw for her place in this world ever since she was eleven, he's the worst of them all.

    But when things take a turn at the Yule Ball, Draco Malfoy decides he's done fighting himself, and Hermione Granger is left floored, struggling to understand this new, strange version of him.

    ***THE COMMENTS BELOW ARE FROM ANOTHER STORY OF THEIRS. The word skip was used, so even though the couple sentences out of context don't seem as bad to me now, I'm choosing to trust the skip word. Maybe if this gets recommended later with lots of kudos...try it out***

    Skip

    🚩 We fought a war over this, but you never even bothered to ask why these traditions exist. Why things are the way they are." He sighed heavily. "Let me try another approach; why don't wizards use electricity?"

    "Don't you mean eccletrocity?" she said nastily.

    "No Granger, I mean electricity. Stop trying to start a fight."

    Summary

    Jaster wanted the best for his people, so when the opportunity arose, he took it. Even if that meant marrying a woman whose eyes burnt with grief and mouth smiled falsely.

    (an arranged marriage au with Jaster nerding out well-meaningly, Sansa continuing her path to healing, Jeyne having a gun, Lady being the best fucking doggo, and all the politics that come from marrying so they could live in proper houses and not tents)

    🚩 well maybe not a red fall but s sign I won’t be interested. It a game of thrones AU where Ned and catelyn stark are king and queen of the north. Somehow Sansa still married Joffrey and Ramsey and was abused. There are droids already in winterfell? I feel like changing the technology level of the g game of thrones verse makes things feel to different
    ———
    The people of Winter Town were mainly humanoid, though some other species and droids flitted about, many staring at the passing Mandalorians. Facing forward, helmet on, Jaster paid no mind to them besides cursory glances. The village was more stone and wood than metal like many planets tend to lean towards, and the road was of cobbled stones.

    Skip sadly. Summary had me hyped.

    whole life. You did not only killed your father, but made us loose the whole war with your stunt!" Hermione's voice was piercing and cold, as she glared at the boy. In her rant, she didn't notice Professor McGonagall running towards them at first, followed closely by Draco, Ron, Harry and Ginny.
