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.

    This is...well, an amazing story. Such a unique take on Snape and Harry's relationship-- you really make them *get* there, if you know what I mean. They don't just wake up one day and feel totally different for one another. I particularly like that even seeing Harry's life at the Dursley's didn't make Snape turn into a big cuddly teddy bear (well, okay, *bat*, more like, but it's the "big cuddly" part that counts). What he found out about Harry was enough to change a lot of things, but not who Snape *is*, and he'll always be the king of snark, even if, eventually, it lacks the malice it once did.

    I see in your profile as of a year ago you didn't consider this story abandoned, and I sincerely hope that's true! This is one of my favorites and I would very much love to see its continuation. What you've given me already is totally amazing, and I'm eager and hopeful that, when you are able and willing, I'll get to see more.

    Cheers!

Snape and Harry are locked in the Room of Requirement by Dumbledore. Harry's magic works, and Snape's doesn't. Will they kill each other? In response to the 72-Hour Challenge.

    WHAT?!?!?!?!?

    I CAN'T LEAVE YOU THE AWESOME REVIEW ABOUT HOW EPIC THIS FIC CONTINUES TO BE, BECAUSE I'M TOO BUSY GIBBERING INCOHERENTLY AND FLAILING AT MY SCREEN. EPIC UPDATE IS EPIC.

    /capslock

    seriously, I'm on the edge of my seat. Love this fic. Cannot WAIT for more!

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I'm glad you're enjoying it.

The man leans over the table and presses the cup of tea into Harry’s hand. “Here, have some more. Perhaps it’ll make you feel better.”

Harry doubts it but accepts the cup nonetheless and takes a few mouthfuls. Moments after he’s swallowed the bitter brew he begins to feel cold and his vision blurs.

Sometimes safety takes on a strange meaning, but Harry always knew cupboards were safe. He just never knew that he would one day associate Snape along with cupboards and the safety and sense of security they always brought him.

    A truly wonderful fic. It made my stomach hurt with the angst and the fear, which is a good thing. Also, McGonagall is one of my favorites, so bonus for having her play a role. This whole thing is just an epically good read. Thanks for writing!

Harry Potter is nearly sixteen and his life has never been his own, always manipulated from the shadows. Now, with the death of Sirius and new revelations about his parentage, can Harry take back control of his own life? AU after OotP. Severitus.

    This is incredibly intriguing and good! I hope things don't spiral too horribly out of control for Harry, and I really like this twist on the conception potion. Eagerly awaiting an update! Cheers.

When Poppy has finally had enough, Hogwarts undergoes a drastic search and rescue procedure, and secrets are revealed. The aftermath finds Harry bare and exposed, and searching for something to hold.

    This is amazing. Just...yeah, amazing. I am especially struck with admiration and adoration for Poppy Pomfrey in this, and for you in managing to prevent anybody from breaking character while stretching them to their limits. Just lovely.

What's in a name? The-boy-who-lived, prophesied defeater of the Dark Lord, son of the supremely intelligent Lily Evans and talented James Potter, Golden boy of Gryffindor, part-time punching bag and house elf of the Dursleys and the bane of Severus Snape's teaching career, Harry's used to labels. Who would want Harry when they can see instead whoever they like instead? Having never been entirely sure who he is makes him a little too open to suggestion though and unfortunately for him, Umbridge wants to banish his old list of names and create a new one of her own.
Beneath the names others have branded him with will anyone be able to find Harry?

    This is crazy-intense, and I want more. Umbridge has always been my favorite villain. Voldemort is a first class bad-ass of course, but there's something so *vile* about the mundane, insidious existence of Umbridge that almost makes her worse. I can't wait to see what happens, and for someone to figure it out and help Harry. Especially if that someone is Snape...

    Eagerly awaiting an update! :)

    Author's Response:

    Thanks!  And you picked the perfect word for Umbridge = insidious ^^, she’ll definitely worm her way in to Harry’s insecurities (and some trouble for herself as well eventually ^^) and yes... it will be Snape ^^

    Thanks ^^ have fun x

    Okay, on a scale of One to Epic, this story is like at least a twelve. I just love it. It's so raw and hurt-y in all the right ways. My favorite part is actually the flashback bits-- the stuff Harry is hearing that people have said to him, because it's such a chilling, cutting way to show where is mind is. I love that you're doing it through "showing" instead of *just* "telling". Also, good on Snape for being shut of the spying thing. I always feel better when he gets out, no matter how almost-deadly it is. And a billion points to Dobby for being awesome.

    Or, you know, a billion points to *you* for being awesome and writing this. Eagerly awaiting an update! :)

    Author's Response:

    Oh *blushes... and grins madly* thank you!!! That’s such a wonderful thing to hear!!! And that you like my flashbacks is one of the biggest compliments ever! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! And I totally agree, Snape was so completely in the wrong profession and needed a career change so I gave him one ^^ and I’d give Dobby points but I don’t know if that would count as clothes...? (a billion points to you instead? ^^) (oooh, if they go to me maybe I can just say Ravenclaw wins my tally... hmm... possibly cheating though >.< ... ^^) Thanks!!!

    "And just like that she was flying across the room to land with an almighty bang against the far wall of the infirmary. Albus’ voice was resigned when he sighed, “Severus, I happen to know for a fact that your accidental magic has been well under your control since you were fifteen.”

    “I hardly know what to say Headmaster.” "

    Lololololololol I died out laughing at this, I absolutely did. I can just *see* it, and it is *beautiful*.

    The pain and angst in the fic is palpable and incredible. It makes my stomach hurt in the best way possible. Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, and Poppy are my four faves to tend to a hurt Harry, and I just...oh hell, I adore this. As things move on, I just hope you have McGonagall continue to play a real role in this, and in interacting with Harry. I don't have a good reason, it's just that I'm selfish, and I love her. "He has, to use a common phrase, done a bunk." She's just win.

    I love your characterizations. Poppy's hurt, Minerva's rage, Albus' fury, oh and *Snape*. Snape is just too delightful for words. This story just *bleeds* while I'm reading it, and I adore it. One of my favorite fics eeeever.

    Moar plz? :D

    Author's Response: Hehe Thanks!  I’m so glad that worked and was as funny as I wanted it to be – I mean really, who’s going to mind a little accidental magic where Umbridge is concerned?  I’ve had a few people say this fic makes their stomach hurt... maybe I should be worried about what kind of monster I’ve created?  *gives you advil* - feel better ^^ - and McGonagall’s awesome... I’ll try not to forget about her but at this point my heads ready to explode – there’s so many characters to remember to keep in this fic! (*looks around for Sirius only to find I’ve left him a few chapters back*) – Thank you so very VERY much, this is one of the most awesomest reviews I’ve gotten – “This story just *bleeds* while I'm reading it, and I adore it.” – this is just such a huge compliment, thank you ^^(and sorry bout the wait!!)x

Take one Severus Snape, one baby Potter, and one insane Headmaster; simmer gently and stir well. Don't forget to duck! AU Oneshot. Entrant in the 2009 Prompt Fest. Prompts: "Duck!" and Headmaster Potter
