Never read a story quite like this one, amnesia!Hermione living wild in the forbidden forest since the end of the battle, presumed dead by Britain. Snape finds her and we have a lovely steady slow burn all from Snapes POV including Viktor Krum and healer!Draco. I loved the pacing, the humor, and the characters. Definitely on my reread list.

I can and will read happy endings for Snape until people stop writing them. His canon character arc is too tragic, I love the slow burn here, the time they take to fall in love. I appreciate that Hermione is in a position where she doesn’t agree with his choices, but knows he has to go through them and will come out a better man, and her trust and love is what carries him through. Lovely story.

Summary
Unspeakable Draco Malfoy drags Healer Hermione Granger to 1972 to save his Father and God-Father from their mistakes, whilst destroying Horcruxes and saving the world from Lord Voldemort.
Written initially for NaNoWriMo 2019. The early chapters are largely unedited, so please be kind when pointing out errors and I'll do my best to fix them. There should be fewer errors as the story develops.

One of my new favorites. Enjoyed Draco and Hermione as best friends, love that Severus was one of the marauders and that Hermione and Draco were able to help these hurting kids. I always love reading the effects of a time reset.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is the first “someone didn’t know they had kids” story I’ve read for this pairing and I’ve missed this trope. Sad Snape missed out on so very much of their lives, but it was the sweetest, fluffiest story I’ve read in a very long time… once you get past the whole dub-con, virgin sacrifice for Voldemort Snape saves her from.

Summary
The year was 1988, and on one quiet Sunday morning in the early days of a blisteringly hot July, the Dursleys departed from Number Four Privet Drive. This, by itself, was of little consequence. They habitually went to church most Sunday mornings. Except... this time they simply didn't return.
SS&HP Mentor/Friend/Severitus-style fic.
This story is complete in four chapters which will be posted weekly. The fic is the first in the Storm Surge series. The sequel is now being posted and is called Acid Reigns.
Written as a gift for my discord friend Serena: congratulations on sitting your medical exams! (But also, intended as a gift for Nocturn and Renee, who are ever in my corner cheering me on).

Summary
21 years after the FInal Battle, regrouping after Ginny is severely injured, Harry goes on a mission for Minerva and discovers that Snape is alive, is living as a Muggle with no memory of his magical life, and has a daughter Lily's age who has just received her Hogwarts letter. A sentimental journey to bring Severus home.
Thanks to my wonderful badgerlady, who re-beta'd this entire story in the space of a day or two, formatted it with HTML tags, and got it ready for archiving here.

Beautiful story of love persevering.
The characters wouldn’t leave my mind, they are wonderfully written and rounded out. I loved them all, canon and original, minus the one’s I’m not suppose to like. Love the hufflepuffs. -

Amazing canon adjacent story. I love the changes made and watching how it all came back together in a way that didn’t shift final endpoint too far.
This is by far one of the most tender versions of Severus I’ve read while still feeling true to his character. How could he not be a softer version of himself after meeting Harry in such dire circumstances, so young and being extended so great a forgiveness so early… -

Love this story! Love that Hermione’s love is stronger than Voldemort, the way canon was woven with new elements was so flawless. I love Tim and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the SevCissa.

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
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
"It was over. Ladybug and Chat Noir had broken up.
Maybe Marinette was being selfish. Maybe taking advantage and deceiving Chat Noir with her alter ego –especially when he was so angry with Ladybug– was wrong. Maybe the breakup was still his fault. Maybe she should have been more concerned by the knowledge he had rebounded so easily to another girl.
All she knew was that this was her boyfriend, and that he wanted to kiss her, and that she wanted him to.
So she grasped his face in her hands and pulled his mouth to hers, the heartbreak inside her fueling her need to have him."When Paris's favorite sweetheart couple breaks off their relationship, news travels fast through the city. Marinette and Adrien try to figure out what exactly went wrong. But when orbits such as theirs circle each other so closely, yet never quite aligning their identities correctly... well, old habits -do- die screaming. Identity shenanigans ensue. Feelings are hard.
In other words, "Because they are idiots, your honor."

Summary
A life for a life, and I’ll be redeemed.
When 19-year-old Marinette's ship sinks en route to New York, the Ocean makes her an offer: serve as a siren for a hundred years in exchange for a second chance at humanity. Torn between survival and conscience, Marinette agrees and steps into a world of mythical allure and moral compromise.Through the decades that follow, Marinette walks a delicate line—quietly pursuing redemption while maintaining strict obedience to the Ocean, ever mindful of her promised return to humanity. But when she encounters a love as inevitable as it is impossible, her balance starts to waver.
As secrets surface and danger looms, Marinette faces an impossible choice: cling to the life she's fought for, or sacrifice everything for a love she can never truly claim.
Also check out Deeper Than Hope, Adrien's side of events.
Based on the 2009 version of Kiera Cass's "The Siren."

Summary
Adrien's side story, part of the "Brave the Waters" universe.
Adrien has a secret, a gift no one can ever know about. It brings him into contact with the kinds of things others wouldn't believe in: the mythological, the supernatural. It's been years since he's come face to face with something like that, though. He's trying to live peacefully with the only family he has left, his friends Alya and Nino, and forget about the life he had before.
When his palm goes cold again, he sets out into the darkness to see what lies in wait, drawn toward a blue-eyed mystery that will put his heart—and his life—in danger.

Summary
Marinette stood in the center of her own room. The pink walls were adorned with sketches and photos, and other unfamiliar souvenirs of her life. Her eyes jumped curiously from a hand made purse to a bowler hat decorated with a feather to a cork board covered in pictures of her friends.
She loved her room. Which made sense, she supposed. She had theoretically been the one to decorate it, but she didn’t remember decorating it. And now, the room was like a cave filled with treasure.
Because each little piece of it held a secret - some part of herself that meant something to her, a clue to what her life had been like before…
Before she had woken up in the arms of a boy wearing a magic black catsuit. His heartbroken sobs had caused something in her chest to twist painfully. She hadn’t understood why then, but from that very first moment she knew she had wanted to make things better for him.
She had no idea how to do that now that she understood what she had lost.
Sixteen years worth of memories.
The echoes of which were papered onto the walls and notebooks of her room just waiting to be rediscovered.
No one else seemed to share her excitement.
