Set at the end of third year. Severus overhears Harry by chance on his final patrol before the summer and begins to suspect that the Gryffindor's home life isn't as idyllic as he assumed. Twelve years ago, he made a promise to protect him, and he intends to keep it.

    Absolutely beautiful story!! I'm so glad I picked this up, because once I started I couldn't put it down. One of my favorite Snapes I've ever read!

[Mother's Day Special '15] "Your House will be like your family within Hogwarts." For those in Gryffindor, it is. So much so that Minerva McGonagall receives Mother's Day gifts by the hundred. But what about those who were put in other Houses?

    Absolutely lovely! I cried with Harry and Severus. Thank you for sharing :)

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.

    Absolutely adorable!!! Thank you for sharing!!

a respond to Spring Fic Fest! "What makes the little bastard think I don't care about him?"

That was the question that Severus Snape asked himself everyday since last week. The question that revolved around his son's latest temper tantrum since last week. And the same damn question that didn't leave him alone no matter what he did.
He even woke up with the thought swirling in his mind. What had he done to make Harry think he was being neglected?

    Janet is an absolute moron. Even if Harry wasn't abused, that is the absolute WORST way to express a huge change to a child!!! Any kid would feel unwanted or shoved aside!! On his birthday no less... This story is kind of difficult to read :/ very very well written! But really difficult. I hope Harry just goes to live with Sirius instead.

    I think I have to stop reading here :/ Janet is just incredibly unlikeable in this, and Severus doesn't deserve forgiveness or to brush away slapping his severely abused adopted son... This is too reminiscent of how unloved a lot of adopted children really do feel in reality.

[COMPLETE] After Harry blows up Aunt Marge and catches the Knight Bus to Diagonalley, he decides to take charge of his life when he learns he’s being sent back to Four Privet Drive. Harry spends the summer turning life in Diagonalley on its head, trying not to worry about the murderer Sirius Black, and attempting to avoid Severus Snape. In the midst of this he finds himself embroiled in an intense legal battle against Albus Dumbledore to decide his future. For the first time his fate rests solely in his own hands, and depend on the decisions he finds himself being forced to make. Harry wishes he could just be a thirteen year old boy, and begins to wonder if he’ll ever have the childhood he desires the most. Some of the warnings listed just as a precaution for things mentioned or alluded to.

    I absolutely loved this so so much.I was hesitant to read it based on the premise. I just wasn't sure about Harry working and running businesses.. But you pulled this off magnificently. His business ventures, generosity with the orphanage and the alleys and the Fae, and the whole element of found family just had me in its grips from start to finish.I don't know why I'm surprised since I adore every single one of your stories!! I think this has to be my favorite so far, though. I wish there was a bit more Snape, but at the same time I really loved Dumbledore getting some nice spotlight for once. I loved your take on it, and I really loved reading his time spent with Harry. I can't believe how much I adore Silver by the end LOL!

    Thank you so much for sharing this absolutely wonderful story!

When Severus Snape dies during the Battle of Hogwarts, he doesn't expect to end up in his own body, 7 years before, at the exact moment he first met Harry Potter.

This time around, Severus resolves to keep his promise to Lily. He promises himself that he’ll keep Harry safe from Death Eaters, Dark Lords, and meddlesome old fools. But what will happen when Snape learns there are monsters greater than Voldemort in Harry’s life? What happens when Severus realizes that what Harry needs, more than anything, is a family?

(A Severus-gets-a-second-chance + adoption AU.)

    I hope you continue this!!!

Ginny's is not the only valentine Harry gets. After eating the chocolate gifted to him by an anonymous admirer, Harry realizes he is very much in love with none other than the handsome Gildery Lockhart. But will Gilderoy love him back? Why is Hermione suddenly in love with Snape? And who is the mysterious blonde beauty Snape has been seen with? (Warning: Mention of rape. But no worries, it is not overly dark, and no inappropriate relationships between students and teachers actually happen.)

    I LOVE this so so much!! I don't generally go for stories with OCs or sibling fics but this story has 100% changed my mind. Rose is just adorable and so likeable and I love what she provides with the growing relationship between Harry and Snape. A buffer as well as a point of comparison!!! And much as it makes me super sad for Harry to feel left out.. I do appreciate some well-written angst LOL because it always makes everything later on much more satisfying!!

    The way you handled Lockhart was fantastic and very well done.I cheered when he died! And Snape being so helpful is so wonderful and done in such a believable way. I'm so excited to read the next update! And in the meantime I'm about to go read the rest of your stories. Thank you for sharing!!
