Your average pre-3rd year severitus fic. Wanted to try my hand at it (I am hungry for severitus fanfiction, and therefore must write my own)

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
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
Heather Winters lost her wand at twelve and her husband at thirty-one. Now the American expat is at Hogwarts to teach wandless magic—a discipline most dismiss as impossible. Between skeptical colleagues, curious students, and shadows from her past, she's braced for a difficult year.
She isn't prepared for Severus Snape.
What begins as mutual hostility turns strange when a magical accident binds them in ways neither can explain—bleeding into dreams, eroding defenses, and demanding a candor they'd never risk in daylight. As Sirius Black stalks the grounds and Dementors close in, Heather must navigate staff politics, protect her students, and untangle the truth behind the bond—while the man she can't stand becomes impossible to ignore.
A slow-burn, canon-divergent Snape/OC romance set during Prisoner of Azkaban.

Summary
The clock hit 7:55, and a knock sounded on the front door. Harry practically bounced across the room, honestly overjoyed to see whoever it was on the other side. No matter what, they were taking him away from the Dursleys, and that was all that mattered. He heard Vernon’s lumbering steps entering the hall, accompanied by the sharp click of Petunia’s heels, but he raced to reach the door first. A wide grin stretched his cheeks to their limits as he threw open the door.
And the smile fell right off his face.
Shrouded in darkness, fog swirling around the hem of his long, dark robes, face as dour as ever, and hair casting cruel shadows across his face, stood Severus Snape.

Summary
It wasn’t Quirrell and the troll, or the diary and young Tom Riddle. It wasn’t Snape or Wormtail, or even Voldemort’s return. It certainly wasn’t Umbridge or Malfoy that finally did it.
No. It was the death of Sirius Black. That was what finally broke Harry Potter, the chosen one, the boy who lived. Finding out about the prophecy and the wards around Privet Drive were the final straw.
When a mute Harry Potter goes back to Hogwarts for his sixth year and encounters the new DADA professor, will that be enough to completely shatter what’s left of him completely? And if it is, will the care of a certain potions master be the thing that puts him back together?

Summary
The summer after Harry's fourth year has become the worst of his life.

After fleeing Privet Drive, he finds himself stuck in an isolated cottage with his most hated professor: Severus Snape.

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!

They stood in the entrance of a natural cavern as the meteor shower fell across the landscape in front of them. It reminded Jack of the time he had been stranded on Edora. At least this time, he had Carter with him and, even better, a space ship.
Oh. And Ba'al.
