Quid Pro Quo by Aucta Sinistra

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.

A Year Like None Other by Aspen in the Sunlight

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.

Chivalry by Branwyn

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.

Better Be Slytherin! by Jharad17

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.
