Summary
NOW COMPLETE
What's more difficult than dealing with one Severus Snape? Dealing with two of them.
After Hermione mysteriously stumbles across a teenage Severus Snape in the Room of Requirement, she finds herself seeking out the companionship of the troubled young man more and more.
Meanwhile, the very adult Professor Snape finds himself in far closer quarters than he would like with a girl he tried to forget about long ago.
A story about love, fate, and two people who just can't manage to escape either.

Summary
Severus Snape and a restless student share a secret hiding place across the lake.
Story begins in 1995 in 5th year, canon-compliant through to 1998, and then diverges into a post-war AU.
This is an atmospheric slow burn and my romantic take on a Snape character study.
I have the entire story more or less outlined.
This is a plot focused reader insert.

Summary
The Lanes never sleep.
The sunken streets may lie beneath Piltover’s heavy shadow, and it's faults are numerous and deadly, but no one can claim that the Undercity is boring.
There is always colour to be found, if you know where to look.
It’s something you pride yourself on – the ability to see what others can’t. Some mistake it for simple optimism. But you know it’s more than just that. It’s the thing that’s kept you alive this long, in more ways than one. You've always been happy to go wherever life has taken you, and you're a big believer in gut instinct.
But you never expected to end up working as a bartender at The Last Drop – having been scouted by a blue haired girl who wouldn't take no for an answer.
Neither did you expect to find yourself landed with the terrifying task of ensuring Silco's personal drinks cart is kept well stocked.
And you certainly never expected to find yourself inadvertently become the weekly drinking partner of the Eye of Zaun himself.

Summary
He notices the scent, first. But it's what he finds in her mind that will compel him. AU after HBP. Complete.
This is a story of psychosexual development for both characters, and an exploration of what they might desire beyond that.
I have added the BDSM tag to protect delicate sensibilities because there are D/s roleplays and dynamics here, but this is not a 24/7 BDSM relationship. I do not see either character as a natural submissive, and this story reflects that.
