    How humorous.

As Seen Through A Mirror by Scorpia starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 122]
Harry Potter stolen away from his relatives house, and Draco Malfoy the only witness. There would be some explaining to do, if Severus managed to save the brat in time.

    This was an engaging read! Your plot and story were markedly superior in the sense that they stand very well on their own. Thank you for sharing! Hopefully you'll pursue the story further!

Hope Not Bound by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 27]
Severus Snape is irritated and perturbed. Every night the brat-who-lived appears in his dreams. Every night he has questions to blather on about instead of letting Severus get on to his important work. Every night, the boy appears with a different set of injuries. This dream Harry is a mystery, and Severus is determined to find out what is really going on. A one-shot.

Snape's Promise by Melolcatsi starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 33]
When the Dursley home is found to be unsuitable for Harry, Dumbledore implores his Potions Master to take the boy in, for the sake of the promise he made to Lily. Another Snape-adopts-Harry story, set Pre-Hogwarts. Harry is 8. Pairings TBD. Dursley abuse is close to canon.

    Thank you for sharing, we pay you nothing and aside from your own feelings as to duty, if you were never to post another chapter it would not be remiss. I hope it otherwise.

Crime and Punishment by Melolcatsi starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 16]
Harry is arrested for burglary. The Dursleys are content to let him rot in jail. Dumbledore, not so much. And so everyone's favorite Potions Master is sent to remedy the situation.

    Hello! I do so like your writing. It seems silly to charge any serious requital, of either praise or censure, at so early a point. You seem to take a light hand in your references though, don't be too oppressive in your parallels, I fear an inevitable gloom at the title when I hope for something more akin to triumph.

Where the Heart is by silver_fish starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 13]
After the events at the Department of Mysteries in June—and all that came after—Harry finds himself once again stranded at Number Four Privet Drive. With only his own thoughts to keep him company, he takes to writing letters to the only person he thinks can help, if only he were still alive to do so.

As it turns out, though, sometimes help can arrive in even the most unexpected of forms too.

    That was absolutely wonderful. I can waste thousands of words bandying around an idea and never get so close to what I mean, nor produce something so effectively believable. Thank you for sharing your work.

    Author's Response: i don't check these often so i didn't see this but thank you! i'm happy you liked it. i'm sure that's not true, though - your writing uniquely your own and that makes it meaningful in ways different from mine, as a conduit for my own personal lived experiences. however long you've been writing, you'll always keep improving (i've been writing as a hobby for roughly a decade and professionally for a while now too, but i still see positive trends when i look back on professional and non-professional work alike even from just a few months ago^^). take care and keep writing! :D

Sinking your Sorrows and Raising your Joys by WiCeBa starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 27]
“Take a sip and trust your gut,” The man with the mustache said. “If you think you’re in need of a bit of luck.”

As a general rule, Harry didn’t trust strangers, or the things they tried to give him, but he really needed to find Aunt Petunia.
