Summary
Harry Potter is being ignored by everyone who’s supposed to care, takes a fall off a ladder and wakes up in a hospital. With nowhere left to go and a deep mistrust of adult intervention, he escapes to London for a night where things, naturally, get worse. He’s got no plan, a bruised skull, and a wand he’s not allowed to use. What he does get is Severus Snape, pressed into reluctant babysitter duty by Dumbledore himself.

Summary
My dearest readers,
Have you missed me? Of course you have. My deepest apologies for the lengthy absence, — but I promise, it was for good reason. You see, I’ve been working on something rather big. Monumental, even. The kind of revelation that makes you gasp over your morning tea. And I decided you, my most devoted Prophet subscribers, deserved to hear it first. So, each week, right here in my column, I’ll share exclusive pieces of my newest serial: Yours, Always — Lily
You read correctly. Lily. As in Potter. This serial is drawn from letters written between two tragic lovers who risked everything for family. It's a story of love & sacrifice that will captivate, entrance, & — dare I say — break your heart. The best part? It's all true.
You think you know the story? Well readers — here’s where you’ll want to lean in — this is not the story of Lily and James.
I, your humble reporter Rita Skeeter, bring to you:
"Yours, Always
— Lily"
In a world steeped with light/dark and blood politics, Veela heritage, and magically powerful cores, Rita Skeeter releases secret letters between Snape and Lily in the Prophet during the golden trios 6th year. What happens next?

Summary
AU where Severus Snape is tasked with retrieving Harry Potter from his relatives in the summer before Harry's 5th year rather than the other Order members.
Also featuring: a supportive Remus and Sirius, a sassy and devoted pet snake, a stable Golden Trio, Professor Harry Potter, and a really cool (and possibly sentient?) library.
In other words, this is OOTP but better.

Summary
Harry Potter reacts much differently to the Dementor attack on his cousin and it causes a cascade of changes in the lives of everyone he knows. He runs away to France to escape the English Ministry's bias and gets a solicitor (lawyer) to deal with his legal issues. Part one of a book 5 and on re-write that can be read stand-alone.
Featuring: Snape's POV. People making decisions for Harry without talking to him about it first. The Horcrux in his head influencing Harry's mind. Professional psychologists/mind healers doing good work. Snape using cannabis.
He would not go back to Privet Drive without bringing the law. He’d lose his temper and end up in Azkaban. Even with aurors at his back, he was likely to hex dear old Tuney into next week if he had to interact with her again. The fines would be worth it.

Summary
Severus had been ready to die, he hadn't expected to find himself back to a time when he was still to commit his greatest sins. He had not expected Lily to talk to him again.
After two decades spent fighting in a war, it's not immediately apparent to him that somewhere along the way he must've forgotten how to live. With a looming war on the horizon, he doesn't have much of a choice if he wants to protect her.
