Summary
Harry Potter is unraveling.
He’s quieter now; more withdrawn, more tired. Between dreams haunted by Tom Riddle, growing isolation, and scars that never truly healed, Harry turns to the only thing that gives him control: art. But even sketching can’t keep the darkness at bay forever. The whispers never stop. The dreams grow darker. And his magic—wild, powerful, and unrefined—starts slipping through the cracks in ways even he can’t control.
Once again, Harry finds himself placed under the reluctant care of Professor Severus Snape for more Occlumency lessons and supervision. Neither of them is prepared for what follows.
Snape expects arrogance. Harry expects cruelty. What they find instead are pieces: of truth, of memory, of each other. As the boundaries between student and professor shift, long-buried trauma surfaces, secrets unravel, and the Horcrux inside Harry begins to take a toll neither of them expected.
Title changed from: someday i'm gonna be somebody people want (June 23, 2025)

Summary
After the war, Harry thought being an Auror would give him purpose. Structure. Something to chase instead of ghosts.
But sleep is rare, silence is heavy, and everyone still calls him The Savior—as if that name means anything to him now.Draco Malfoy is not who Harry expected as a partner.
He’s quiet. Sharp. Unsettling in ways Harry can’t quite explain.
And maybe, just maybe, he sees through the cracks Harry has spent years trying to cover.Bookmarked by phi_266
