Summary
They sought her out for conversation sometimes, cornering her in the garden or at the park, not that they ever had much to say. Really, Harriet thought snakes were rather dull.
---------
Harriet Potter has always been odd. Between having a shadow that moves on its own and chatting with grass snakes, learning she's a witch really isn't the strangest thing to happen to the bespectacled girl with a lightning scar on her neck.
Harriet attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she makes new friends, encounters a prickly Potions Master, learns about the Boy Who Lived, and meets the enigmatic Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Tom Slytherin.

Summary
Two Slytherins. One doomed year. Zero chance of walking away clean.
In the aftermath of the first wizarding war, Severus Snape is stuck teaching idiots, holding grudges, and trying not to drown in his own worst instincts.
His seventh-year student isn’t doing much better.
Between them lies a mess of power, grief, desire — and betrayal.
Bartleby is a darkly funny coming-of-age story about trauma, seduction, and the uneasy business of living with yourself afterward.
It's also a sordid little experiment that tackles an ugly, tired topic: rape. Specifically, it asks, what happens if we invent an OFC, abuse her a little, throw her in with a young Severus Snape, and see what breaks first?

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.
