    Summary

    This is a Snape mentors Harry (Severitus) story centered on a disciplinary mentor dynamic in which corporal punishment is a core theme.
    After Voldemort's return in the graveyard in Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore asks Snape to take a more hands-on role in protecting Harry, starting by giving him Occlumency lessons earlier than in canon. This is soon expanded into a broader mentorship, initiated by Snape with the goal of protecting Harry more effectively.
    Snape grows to care for Harry, and Harry slowly comes to appreciate Snape — though their relationship develops gradually, with significant tension, conflict, and setbacks. The threat of Voldemort and Snape’s concerns about Harry’s recklessness shape their dynamic, keeping Snape rigid and demanding for much of Order of the Phoenix. The story will remain close to canon during the fifth year, then diverge more substantially in years six and seven as their mentorship deepens.
    Content Warning: This story centers around the theme of corporal punishment of a minor within a mentor relationship. If that sounds potentially triggering, then this is probably not the best story for you, as it will be a central plot point and not something that can be easily skipped around.

    Summary

    After a devastating accident during the New Year festivities in Lin’an, Fan Changyu awakens with no memory of the life she fought and bled to build.

    The last thing she remembers is falling asleep beside the brazier while her father promised to take her to the New Year festival the next morning.

    Her parents should still be alive.
    She should still be betrothed to Song Yan.
    She should still be the butcher’s daughter from Lin’an, struggling simply to survive another winter.

    Instead, she opens her eyes to a nightmare. Years have passed...

    Her parents are long dead.
    Her betrothal to Song Yan is over.
    And she is carrying a child she cannot remember conceiving.

    Beside her bed stands a devastatingly beautiful stranger who looks at her as though she is something precious returned from the grave.

    Changyu assumes he is her physician.

    She is catastrophically wrong.

    Or: after losing every memory following her parents’ deaths, Changyu falls in love with Xie Zheng all over again, while he endures the unbearable grief of being forgotten by the only person he has ever loved.
