A Not So Simple Wish by JAWorley starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 24]
When Severus overhears a wish Harry has, he starts to wonder why such a simple wish hasn’t already been granted. He also begins to wonder what Harry has been hiding and finds himself surprised at why Harry has lied to him. A one shot.

The Doe And Her Fawn by Lemon Curd starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 58]
Severus is not happy to have his summer holidays interrupted to investigate Mrs. Figg's claims that all is not well at Privet Drive. He is even less happy at what he finds. Harry is sent to live with the Weasley family. Soon it turns out that raising a traumatized child is a challenge that might be too much for the Weasley parents, and Snape is very unhappy indeed to have his holidays interrupted once again.

    I love how begrudgingly Snape is taking care of Harry while doing an actually okay job of it. Haha, this is an enjoyable read! I hope we get to read more!

A certain event over the summer forces Harry to leave his relatives earlier than expected.

Blessings In Disguise by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 64]
Harry would never have guessed what moving to a new city with the Dursleys would mean. He also never would have guessed who his new neighbor would be, or that he was being watched... followed... stalked when he went out at night looking for food and safety. Written in response to the Neighbors challenge by Mellow Moon.

    This was a very interesting concept! I'm happy that Arthur commended Snape for taking Harry in instead of fighting him. It feels much more in character than what I usually see. I'll be looking forward to the continuation!

Portended Prophecies by WiCeBa starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 66]
“The Ministry takes a vested interest in ensuring our young witches and wizards are as safe as we can make them and you, dear boy, are very important to Minister Fudge.” Professor Umbridge said, simpering in a self-satisfied way as she said Fudge’s name. “So I must ask you where you’ve been this last August?”

Harry coughed into his tea and nearly spilled it over himself.

    Beautiful. What a wonderfully written interaction that I wish had actually occurred. Thank you for this lovely little piece.

    Author's Response: Thank you so much! I really enjoy writting little one-shots like this :)

Poisonous Miracles by Flooney starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 15]
Due to the Dursley's being 'preoccupied' for the summers, Dumbledore arranges for Harry to be sent to a summer camp. Little does he know that a particular Potions Master will be there as well. Suspicions are confirmed, however, when Snape begins prowling around the boy, discoveries he'd never thought possible unravelling. Set in the summer after Second Year, Severitus/Sevitus.

    I adore it. This is just what I needed. Soft Snape is wonderful and he still feels in character.

The Fires of Winter by MagnificentAndStrange starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 9]
They are winter, all darkness and bone-white skin, surviving on air that knives into them at each breath. Severus has always known this about himself, but it is devastating to see it in someone else, in the very child he has vowed to protect.

    Achingly beautiful. I'm so very sad, but also hopeful for their future.

    Author's Response: thank you so much, esoteric! I’m sorry it was such a sad story but I like to think there is a happy future in store for both Harry and Snape!

The Shape Of Your Soul by RiddikuLiss starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 5]
continued! "every witch or wizard is born with a Daemon, a physical manifestation of your soul in animal form. Harry is no exception to this, but his Daemon is a bit...odd. of course, chaos ensues."

    I'm so excited about this. I'm an absolute sucker for Daemon AU's and especially Harry Potter ones. I love the concept you've chosen with Harry having a same sex daemon. Can't wait for more!
