Summary
Icy rain washed down over Severus’s head and shoulders, but the sensation was nothing to the chill that snaked its way down his back. The dog stood on its hind legs, forepaws braced against the gate, its teeth bared in a silent snarl a mere hand’s breadth from Severus’s throat. This close, the intelligence in its eyes was no longer deniable. For one sharp, treacherous instant, Severus froze, wondering what, exactly, was standing in front of him.

Sent to investigate the failing wards at Number Four Privet Drive after his least favorite student turns his aunt into a helium balloon, Severus Snape finds himself saddled with a horrifically abused thirteen-year-old boy and an infuriatingly clever Omen of Death that sheds on the sofa. With a werewolf at the staff table, dementors encircling the school, and a crazed mass-murderer on the loose, Severus is surprised to find that he does not mind the entanglement as much as he would have expected.

Summary
He hadn't told anyone.
Four days. Hermione was upstairs finally sleeping and Ron was at the Burrow where he was supposed to be and Harry was standing at the stove at 2am because the ceiling of his bedroom had started feeling like a lid and he was just — making tea. That was all. Thinking about nothing specific.
Which was the problem.

Summary
Severus never expected to live through the War. He never expected Potter to survive either.
All he asks is that he be left in peace — to his garden, the brewing of his potions, the alphabetisation of his book collection and, for once, to the staying out of trouble. Why does it seem Life always has other plans?

Summary
When Harry is forced to endure a summer under Snape’s care, he’s uncertain he has the will to bear through whatever his professor has in store for him.
With the ghost of Cedric over his shoulder, the echo of his relatives’ treatment ringing in his ears, and the absence of anyone he thought still cared about him weighing on his chest, he knows that with just a little more pressure he may totally crumble.
As Harry is plagued by the many consequences of Voldemort’s return, Severus attempts to suffer through the burden of arming the boy’s mind against his original master, all while continuing his subterfuge at the Dark Lord’s feet.
When a connection of consciousness is wound between them, and certain truths about Harry are revealed, they have no choice but to bend to the consequences, and hope they emerge on the other side better for it.

A classic slow build Severitus fic with alternating perspectives between Harry and Severus, a unique take on Occlumency, and a lot of angst.
