Hi everyone! It's good to see you here on my profile!

Transformative works statement (last updated 20240114)
You need not ask my permission to create any transformative work off my work providing you don't make money from it. If the fanwork you would like to use is derived from someone else's fanwork, you might need to seek their permission.
(Podficcers may alter the wording of the original text slightly for easier line reading, provided the same meaning is preserved.)
If you do, please let me know, and I will mark it as being officially related on AO3. If you cannot post to AO3, let me know with a link to your work and I will make an AO3 external bookmark for you.

Please also consider adding a Transformtive Works statement to your profile!

Summary:

Trigger warning for medical / upsetting content:

Severus becomes a live organ donor to Harry... something something Severitus. 

Why? How? Is this in a magical or Muggle setting? How do the two get along and learn to cope?

...

Trigger warning potential major character death:

Of course, were you to go down the Major Character Death / the majority of organ donation route, feel free to. I didn't say anything.

Scraps of love (not gone to waste) by SerenaEW
[Responses - 0]
Summary:

Out of necessity, Severus has become a genius at creating potent magically enhanced soups potions from kitchen waste (fruit or veggie peels, animal bones, scraps of herbs etc.). 

When he finds out about Harry's abuse, and is being actively stopped from intervening, he does the only thing he can think of: he makes Harry copy all the recipes in detention, and makes him read "foraging the forest" and "what is safe to eat"-type survival books. 

Maybe part of the teachings is also a [magical method, i.e. potion or spell] that can make most things consumable by removing the toxins from it as long as it hasn't totally fallen to decay. 

It's the reason why the trio didn't starve to death on the run, and they were not reported to have gotten sick. 

It also comes back to Severus by saving his life through one of those "potions", and/or through the detoxifying spell which Harry uses on him in desperation.

Summary:

There is truth to the "voodoo dolls" [I know the term is problematic] cliche in the wizarding world. It is actually real / applicable, and only Snape knew about that (cue Prince Family Secrets, etc.)

It's the reason why Voldemort only came back many years later, with no nose and not so powerful, while Harry's survival is, in large part, because Snape keeps pouring some low-level luck potion and health potions over Harry's doll.

Reap what you sew by SerenaEW
[Responses - 0]
Summary:

Re: the only good thing Petunia did for Harry (was a challenge or prompt here) 

Petunia taught Harry how to sew / mend clothes with needle and thread, and made him do cloth repair jobs round the house. 

When Harry's uniform rips, he realises that some cloth tears cannot be mended with magic, and he is scared to throw his uniform into the separate 'needs repairs' hamper cause he's afraid of repercussions. It happens in 1st  year since he doesn't know about the house-elves yet. 

Ergo, he asks Hermione to ask her parents to send needle and thread / he wishes for needle and thread for Christmas. Or better yet, instead of a 50 p piece, Petunia sends him a small spool of thread and a needle.

Fast forward, Harry now has a reputation and a small business as person who mends clothes better than the house-elves / being able to do it where the house-elves can't.

The only way Snape can show his support is anonymously sending Harry his orders, and sending Harry books about magically enhanced sewing...
