Past Featured Story Summer of Bonding by Magica Draconia starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 223]
It was the summer of love . . . er, no, not really. Left waiting for the Dursleys, Harry is found by the last person he'd expect to see. Written for the Summer Fic Fest 2015.

    I like how Dumbledore slipped it in right past Severus' nose, so to speak. I guess there's more than one way to accidentally become a father....

All the World's a Stage by Alexannah starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 139]
Snape, of course, would no sooner let them play games in class than adopt Harry -GoF pg 342.

Harry never expected to be adopted—especially not by Snape. Harry hates his new father, and the feeling is mutual. But to the outside world, they have to pretend otherwise, or Harry could end up in very deep trouble. Is anyone that good at acting?

~In memory of one of the greatest actors of our time~

    Seeing them stymie Fudge was hilarious.

    Can't wait to see what Snape is thinking in the next chapter!

A World Of Grey Clouds by Livia Ethelind starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 224]
To the world Harry Potter is either a deranged freak or a celebrated hero, but the truth about Harry and the secret the child carries is about to turn the world upside down - not only Harry's but Snape's as well!

    I'd been wondering if Harry was literally a girl or if that was just something Petunia had done to mess with her. Guess this chapter answered that! Can't wait to see more!

    At last he's figured stuff out!

Visiting Rights by LBibliophile starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 34]
Harry is the Boy-Who-Lived... again, and again, and again. Now he is back at Hogwarts for second year with strict instructions that it is time to get his life fixed. Poor Snape won’t know what’s hit him.

Right in Front of Me (Book 1) by ShabbyBeachNest starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 296]
Dark secrets and an even darker past threaten to destroy the boy on whom the entire wizarding world has pinned their hopes. Can Severus Snape find it within him to heal and accept the broken child of his nemesis, and in the process, ultimately heal and accept himself? (AU-ish, but follows canon. Severitus - mentor/adoption - WARNING: mentions sexual abuse, but no details)

    I wouldn't mind a one-shot outtake!

    It's going to be more difficult for Snape and Harry to reconcile/grow together now. I think it's interesting, how you're having Harry have protective feelings of Severus, and not just the other way around.

    Author's Response: Yeah... poor guys. They both have some issues that they need to work out before they can grow together as a family. Hopefully all will go well, but I guess we'll see... ;) Thank you for the review!

The Unwanted One by Amy starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 162]
Harry has always wished for someone to care, for a family of his own. On his birthday, he finds out that a certain Potions Master is his father, but Severus has finally settled into life with his other son. Can Harry finally have the family he has longed for, or will he always be the unwanted one?

    Well, if there was any chance of Clarice getting back with Severus (perhaps if she convinced him she was suitably repentant), I think this nixed it. (Good!) He's not going to want a relationship with someone as petty and spiteful as her, now that he has memories of his one true love to sustain him.

    Looking forward to "Little Harry" scenes!

    Good luck on your last college semester! I really liked this chapter, it was worth the wait.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Spring Blues - Aftermath by Henna Hypsch starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 33]

    I liked this fic, and find myself intrigued to see what the "re-born" Snape might be like in the sequel. Even if the sequel doesn't get posted, I liked seeing Snape and Harry interact in this chapter.

    Author's Response:

    Great! Thank you! I'm currently writing on the sequel and believe it will be posted towards the end of summer.


Son of a Death Eater by RhiannanT starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 93]
Blaise probably couldn't expect much, this time. Blaise was a Death Eater's kid, raised by, if not always Death Eaters, at least not blood traitors. Molly Weasley's soul was so clean it squeaked. It was a good thing Blaise had Snape to fall back on, for awhile. Mrs. Weasley was just too...not a Death Eater. Way, way too not a Death Eater to want to keep Blaise for very long.

    I hope they find him soon.

    I liked that line, "Still not lost--or no more lost than he was at home, at any rate." Really good chapter and really good fic.
