    Summary

    James Wilson always carries something. Grief, guilt, the weight of everyone else’s survival. But when he stops carrying himself, no one notices until it’s almost too late.

    The thing about sickness of the mind is that it never actually leaves you, not truly.
    It can dim, disguise itself, and blend into the neat edges of routine. With enough smiles and enough tasks—enough people to care for—it even looks like healing. But James Wilson knows better than anyone: it doesn’t vanish. It waits.
    Sometimes, it waits so long and so quietly that you forget it was ever there.
    Until you stop. Until one morning, you forget to put the armour on — and suddenly, it slips right back in, like it never left.e

    Summary

    “We protect him,” the Agonized continued. “We bear his pain. We relive his memories. So that he does not have too. So that he may-.” Another spasm of pain caused the Agonized to break off, and he shut his eyes tightly, wincing.

    Summary

    It was a fact that Severus Snape was a greasy git who had no friends. At least, that's how the Marauders saw him. After the 'incident' with Lily Evans, Snape spent his school days entirely alone in the library, keeping his head down. It was bad enough to be seen as a filthy parasite at home, but at school? He had at least hoped his reputation would go up over the years. Even if he got off to a bad start thanks to those good for nothing Marauders, he thought he could turn things around. But he messed up. Again. Like always, what was he expecting? Perhaps he should just end everything, but there was still a fool's hope lingering in his mind. Maybe, just maybe, things might get better.

    Note: This fanfiction will only be on Ao3. Please don't repost this to other platforms.

    Summary

    Severus is still choking on the air being repelled from his lungs when the first attempt slams against his skull. This attempt isn't like theirs. It isn't the stinging, burrowing, bamboo-shoots-under-the-nail like crawling of his Lord's magic. Not Voldemort's slow and torturous magic, polluting his mind with burning pains as he digs deeper inside, unrelenting. Nor is it the powerful, crushing, passionate rush of Dumbledore flooding him. His mentor and warden's grand magic, trying to shatter his shields until they were impenetrable. No, this attempt comes at him like a dart throw. It sails at him like a whisp through the air, hitting his shields with the force of a feathered pin-point. Leaving only a small hole in the surface of his mental fortitude. The magic is insistent, but all too gentle compared to what he's known.

    (Severus Snape whump at the ministry. Written because I was always confused why the Order didn't jump Snape sooner. Please excuse my use of Magical Macguffins :/ )

    Summary

    "Do not waste your youth, my boy. Trust me, this will be good for you."--"Life is for living, my boy. You won't learn nearly as much from the library. "--"How better to keep you out of trouble, my boy? Not to mention, you've earned it. So very bright you are, son."
    Severus Snape wishes for nothing more than to wrap his trembling fingers around the old fool's neck so tight they can only squeeze and not shake.
    The cabin is jerking and vibrating. Lights flicking on overhead contraptions. Fasten seat belts, something, radio signal going out, light-lights, something red and eerie, another announcing that oxygen masks have been deployed. The strobing flashes blinding Snape as he struggles to breathe into the bag at his face.

    (Snape and the Marauders survive a plane crash, and must now learn to live together on a deserted island through the disaster. But what's Snape to do when one of the Marauders begins acting...strangely towards him. No Magic, semi-major character death, and a relatively hopeful/happy ending. Low-key inspired by Lord of The Flies, with some references to it.)
