When he finds himself in need of a very difficult potion, Harry goes to Snape for help. Rather to his surprise, Snape agrees. Mentions of past non-con, but nothing graphic.

Followed closely by A Summer Like None Other.

Various events lead to Harry and Snape slowly developing a father-son relationship. This is quite a long and enjoyable story, and although there’s a little too much of Harry behaving like a brat, it’s no worse than the books themselves in that respect.

A series of two stories. In The Guiltless, Snape notices something about Harry that no one else does, revises his opinion about the Boy Who Lived. In The Poor of God, the two embark on a correspondence and possibly a friendship.

Both stories are pretty good, especially the second, which contains a Luna who is everything I love about her. Mostly gen, but there are a few het relationships in the end, although they’re never the focus of the story.

Harry gets sorted into Slytherin, and eventually Snape gets over himself to become something of a mentor to him. Typically angsty, but good enough that I wish it had sequels.

Not the story I was expecting, but amazing nonetheless. Gorgeous writing.

It’s a few years after the war, and Harry has difficulty remembering things. All kinds of things.

Luckily, the slightly crappy title is the only bad thing about this story. Years after the war, Harry finds Snape working as a fry cook in a diner. That kind of makes this sound like a comedy, but it’s a lovely and perfectly serious glimpse at a possible relationship between Harry and Snape.

This is not your average fanfic. It’s a dark picture book with some extraordinary watercolours and a more thoughtful characterization of Narcissa than we ever got from J.K. Rowling. Worth reading (or just looking at) for the art alone. Gorgeous!

Because I’m being lazy:

Harry’s eighth-year at Hogwarts is going about as well as all the others. Someone is out to get him, Aurors keep questioning him about the final battle and, worst of all, Draco is determined to repay his life debt to Harry.

Funny, good plot.

Sad but gorgeous.

Author’s summary:

Harry thinks he knows how his life will go: Become an Auror. Marry Ginny. Have a family. But then he sees an advertisement in the paper that no one else can see, and his life is turned upside-down. The Broom Closet: you can be anyone you want while you’re there, but you won’t remember it in the morning.

Very nice fic, although I could have used more Harry-Draco interaction. What there was of it was great, though.

The advertisement sat innocently on the lower left corner of page six of The Daily Prophet, written in blocky text on a plain white background.
