Seven years after the Battle of Hogwarts, a changed Hermione Granger-Weasley returns, not as a student, but as a professor seeking refuge. Severus Snape, now Deputy Headmaster, finds his carefully constructed life disrupted by her arrival and the shadows of her past. As they navigate the complexities of divorce, personal trauma, and the lingering echoes of war, an unexpected connection begins to form. Their journey is fraught with emotional scars, hidden truths, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Can they find solace in each other while facing their own inner demons, or will the weight of their history prove too heavy to bear?
All That You Will Be by Morbidmuch
The last thing Hermione Granger expected after the war was to suddenly be made responsible for a not-so-dead Severus Snape
i hope this comes back to haunt you by humanveil
Severus Snape, from first curse to first kill. Or: The making of a Death Eater.
House Potter for Children in Need by Ailec_12
Eight-year-old Severus Snape wakes up alone at home only to be later dumped in another house. There, he must put up with an annoying toddler, a creepy cat and two adults that cannot be trusted.
The place is Godric’s Hollow and the year, 1981 —except for the fact that Severus thinks it is 1968.
So Lonely Without Me by Caligryphy
“You’re up first.”
“Am I…?” Severus Snape finally glances up from the yellowed edges of the Daily Prophet. He has read it six times, cover to cover, including the advertisements. There are seven spelling mistakes in the culture section. He has marked each one with a ring of red ink. Each time he sees the crossword, he laments having finished it the first day.
Potter nods and takes the newspaper. “It’s ready when you are.” The younger man sinks into the armchair after Severus rises. It is the only chair in the room. Potter usually lies on the bed or stretches on the floor, bare toes wriggling.
Harry hates Snape, and he always will. (He will, won’t he?)
To the Eyes, to the Light, in Safety by Barkin
After missing several Order meetings, Severus reappears 13 days later, injured and trapped Occluding. Sirius is tasked with Healing the man.
Sirius was not expecting himself to question his views about his childhood enemy, let alone fall for him. Severus does not make it easy for him. He vows to rescue Severus from the Occlumency induced wall he can’t escape from by himself, sparking off a relationship that ends up saving Sirius from his own prisons at high price for Severus.
A story that centralizes on Order work if Severus was no longer able to be a spy.
Falling Apart by Zain
Severus had always known that he would die in a painful, most horrifying way ever since back when he was almost beaten to death by his father, then mauled by a werewolf, then thrashed around by a maniac overlord. His miserable, luckless life only seemed to lead to that one day when he would be struck down by a bloody snake, of all things.
Bleeding out in front of Harry Potter was just the last humiliation Lady Destiny had in store for him.
Suddenly staring into Potter senior’s eyes again while being levicorpused was just the icing on the cake.
Episode 46: Snirthday 2025
Godfathers by DragomirKingsman, Lazlisz, OrionFrost
Severus Snape has traded what might be one of his last peaceful summers for a tumultuous few months housing the Boy Who Lived after Hogwarts’ student registry notified him of a potential abuse case at Number Four Privet Drive. If that wasn’t bad enough, he finds himself revealing far more than he ever should have—and far more than Albus Dumbledore ever would have allowed—to the boy about his past, and his mother. When Sirius Black reveals himself with the intent of saving his godson from Snape, the three of them end up standing begrudgingly together to find Peter Pettigrew and clear Black’s name before the proper authorities can be involved.
Harry finds solace in the unexpected care of an unjustly convicted man and an ex-death eater; meanwhile Black grapples with repressed attraction to the man he’d spent his childhood tormenting.

Meet Me at the Checkpoint by nocturn
She wakes with a gasp in the hospital wing. The first thing she registers is that the ragged gash across her chest has reopened, pulsing with the same searing pain as when she sustained it at the end of fifth year. The second thing—
“Granger, try to take slower breaths. I’ll have your next dose of healing potion ready soon.”
—is that Severus Snape is somehow alive.
(Or, the one where Hermione gets stuck in an Edge of Tomorrow style time loop that resets back to summer 1996 each time she dies.)

a daily dose of sunshine by montrasity

Today was November 8th, 1977.
And on May 28th, 1978, he was going to kill himself.
For the sixth months leading up to it? Severus was going to be happy. Even if he had to make it with his own hands.

Love Story for a Bibliophile by Fluffy_Monk for Agneska
When Hermione returns to Hogwarts as a transfiguration apprentice, she’s surprised to find that the library doesn’t feel like the refuge it used to be.

“You must understand that you’re putting me in a very difficult position,” Severus says softly.
“I know,” the boy mutters.
“And if anyone were to find out, I could lose my job.”
“Sir, please. I won’t tell anyone, I swear. I’ll do anything.”
Severus sighs heavily, reluctantly. But secretly his heart is thumping in anticipation. “Very well. Get on with it.”
There is a pause. A few shaky breaths again. Potter’s eyes dart up, look around the empty lot, either to ensure that there is no one around to see, or perhaps hoping for a way out, an escape. But there is no escape, Severus has made sure of it. He’s worked hard for nearly a year to make the boy understand that he is the only escape.
Chirality by expected_aberrance
SSHG Women… have an affinity for evil for supplying whatever the evil lacks in itself for drawing it about them instinctively as you do bed-clothing in slumber fertilizing the mind for it until the evil has served its purpose whether it ever existed or no…

Certain Dark Things by evejenson (rentachi)

Harriet attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she makes new friends, encounters a prickly Potions Master, learns about the Boy Who Lived, and meets the enigmatic Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Tom Slytherin.

I want that one by TeddyRadiator
SSHG On the night the light is defeated and the dark wins, Lord Voldemort grants a boon to his most valued and trusted spy. This is a very, very dark and disturbing story of pain and punishment. If you find the idea of non-con and dub-con unsettling, please understand this will not be the story for you. At the heart of this story lies a mystery. All will be revealed if you dare to continue.
Sloppy Assassins by jalapeno_eye_popper
Snack In an Everyone Lives AU (i.e. nobody died at the Dept of Mysteries or Battle of Hogwarts), there’s far too much of a risk that a Death Eater would find another way to resurrect Voldemort. Severus is determined to prevent this possibility, permanently. Sirius also wants a permanent solution to the out-of-control Death Eaters, but it’s only a matter of time before one of them makes a mistake… This story is gritty and violent, but HEA.

Ab Intra by Arrisha
Snarry. Severus Snape has been in prison for the past six years, but it’s not what you think—life in Azkaban is never boring.

His peace of mind is disturbed when Harry Potter comes to visit.

Snarry. After seven years in Azkaban, Severus is finally free. Unemployed and homeless in a world that has moved on without him, he has no other choice but to try and rebuild his life from the ground up. In the process, he will have to endure: a cursed apartment that breaks its own furniture for fun, a remarkably round owl called Britney Spears, and Harry Potter, who is obsessed with a potion that does not exist and has a soft spot for floral patterns and nail polish.
(Or: when Severus Snape was fifteen, he made a terrible mistake. When he was forty-six, he made it again.)

The Price of Magic by Acid, Sinick
Haunted by the ghost of a former student, an ex-wizard struggles to preserve magical knowledge for future generations.
When Harry Potter died, twin wands’ explosion wiped Europe clean of magic. Enchantment-free, Gringotts crumbled into a mass grave for goblin bodies. Pixie corpses covered the meadows. Romanians buried their last dragon.
Wizards remained. Thousands flooded Muggle streets with useless chanting, unable to return home through non-existent wards.
They had nothing except pride. Remember that when watching a middle-aged, redheaded waitress and her daughter taunted by children for their strange way of talking, passing the sallow-faced, somber neighbour who prefers candles to electricity, finding a sky-blue twinkle under matted hair of a homeless man.

Episode 15: Snape and Lily

Mr. Always Wins by snapesnailtape
Severus Snape has never been the luckiest guy. This year seems to be no exception as Severus is entered into the Triwizard Tournament against his will, with no way out. With a push here and there, a little soul-searching, and maybe even the love of an old friend, this might just be the year his luck finally changes for the better.

The Potions Mistress by myrskytuuli
Up at the teacher’s table, professor Quirrell was talking to a teacher with dirty red hair hanging around her sickly pale face like a curtain. Looking past Quirrell, two poison-green eyes, devoid of any warmth or empathy, found Harry’s own brown ones, and he felt a sharp pain on his scar. Harry looked again, but the teacher was no longer looking at him. Still, Harry could not escape the nagging feeling, which he had gotten just from a glimpse of her eyes and the cruel twist of her lips, that professor Evans did not like him very much.

A Gryffindor Heart by iNiGmA
It has been three days since she’s last heard from Sev. Three whole days without owls at her window. His home life isn’t the best, though he won’t talk about it. And out there, in the looming darkness, Voldemort’s power is growing. Destiny is nearly upon them. But through it all, Lily has always known what she’s wanted — who she’s wanted. But can best friends really become more? And is love enough, to leave the shadows behind?
Come Once Again and Love Me by laventadorn
Severus wakes up in the afterlife expecting something rather different than being almost-seventeen again. But wait – Lily’s come back, too – from 1981? Perhaps it’s a second chance… but for what?

The Man Who Stole Christmas by Evilbean
Headmaster Snape had had his eyes on the ultimate goal and no time to feel sorry for himself for a long time, this Hellish year being no exception. That was until the hatred in Minerva McGonagall’s eyes reminded him of all of his sins… nearly breaking him in the process. He just didn’t think the last straw would have been about a stupid Christmas Dinner.

Reconciling Lily’s Eyes by persepolis130
After I finished reading DH, I thought, wow, I really want to read Snarry that takes into account Snape’s feelings for Lily. Something where Snape and Harry’s relationship is based on how Snape felt for her, instead of being its own separate entity. Of course, all I could find was a plethora of fics where Snape tells Harry his love for Lily was only platonic, and that he’s actually gay.
Epilogue for Lily’s Eyes by persepolis130

PseudoPrince by suitesamba
Severus Snape is not-quite-dead. He’s living under Polyjuice, watching more than participating in the Wizarding World. But when Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes adds Headmaster Severus Snape to its Wizarding Heroes Action Figures line, he very much wants to have a say in how he is portrayed to armies of grubby children manhandling his person. And to do this, he faces a battle of words with the Toy Master himself, Harry Potter.

A Light in the Fog by turtle_wexler
The last thing Severus can remember is overhearing a prophecy in a dingy, goat-scented pub. Now there’s a James Potter clone with Lily’s eyes, a much aged Minerva McGonagall, and an infuriatingly familiar woman with wild hair all saying he is not a loyal Death Eater. Looking in a mirror proves that he is, indeed, suddenly pushing fifty. All in all, not his best day.

Miles to Go before I Sleep by Rannaro
This story is AU. What would have happened if Voldemort had understood that defeat, not death, conferred mastery of the Elder Wand and did not kill Snape? And what of all the stray Death Eaters that JKR forgot to mention? Like Bella Lestrange’s husband?

As far as he was concerned, Potter could have whatever he wanted, now. What was the point of trying to tell him no if he was going to be sacrificed on the pyre of the greater good? If Potter wanted to learn, Severus would be his teacher. If he wanted a master, then Severus would make him submit. And if he wanted a lover… well. Severus would love him.

Snape Chat 
i just wanted to say that what i like about Severus Snape that he was truly on gods side because for what he did for his headmaster and protect lily son but it was so sad that the dark lord killed him for no reason because if that was me why i would of run up to him and protect him and said to the dark lord and i would say to him to stay away from him for he is not the man who had that wand and i would take snape by the hand and we run like hell and then Severus would of loved me because i had saved his life
and that is how i really loved Severus Snape very much god bless him and may all the angels love him as well
