“I won’t shut up, no matter how much I’d like to! You've made sure of that!” exclaimed Remus.

“I sure did,” hissed the voice venomously. “And I will make sure your humiliation is complete. You will keep disclosing all those nasty little details about your life until I am completely satisfied. So unless you want to kiss the floor again, werewolf, or make me hex your chair upside down for the next hour, I suggest you resume your tale.”

<i>He</i> Loves Him

by Celestial Melody

5 Ratings, 0 Likes, 2 Favorites )

When you love someone, the last thing you expect them to do is break your heart ... but it frequently happens. Tears of salt cannot express the pain that a heart crying blood feels. Yet, even though our torn and tattered hearts are in pieces, rattling sonorously around in the emptiness of our chests, we still love that 'someone' because nothing can predict love ... It just happens.

For Rose Weasley, her impressions of her own “love” were shattered when she found out something she shouldn't have, something that made her wish for revenge ... something that made her unable to take it.

A Pinch of This, A Dash of That

by starmom

19 Ratings, 0 Likes, 42 Favorites )

A SS/HG story of food, passion and surly house-elves. In which we take an immediate hard right turn off the beaten canon to Silly Alternative Universe Land. A pinch of parody. A dash of cliché. Toss in a few OC’s and stir well. Serve hot.

Severus is a Potions master, quite capable at nonverbal spells, Voldemort's potions brewer... Yet he lays dying in the Shrieking Shack because he is too weak to administer his potions to himself. What a lousy way to go. If only someone knew his whereabouts, someone who could help him.

Severus Snape has already made his commitment to the Death Eaters when Lily Evans arrives at his door, a complication he hadn’t expected—a temptation he almost couldn’t resist. Set a few years after graduation—late 1979-early 1980. Written Pre-DH--no DH spoilers.

Overcome with despair, Severus wishes he’d never survived the final battle. A compassionate angel shows him what the world would be like if he’d never lived.


The story is based on and borrows heavily from the film of almost the same name, Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life. Rating is for imagery. Mostly DH compliant, but still EWE.

Offerings in the Darkness

by h_vic

8 Ratings, 0 Likes, 8 Favorites )

Christmas Eve brings candles, guilt and memories for Severus Snape.

"He had been little more than a boy when his mother had died. At a loss for how to comfort the grieving child he barely knew, and seeking perhaps the familiar routines of his own childhood in solace, his father had taken him to church. Severus, however, had found no comfort in the austere, hallowed stone of the chapel, but he found something in the warm candlelight of the offerings to the souls of the departed. If it was not exactly comfort, at least it was more than emptiness. Religion had never permeated his soul, but the candlelight had."

Time Lapse

by Pearle

42 Ratings, 0 Likes, 50 Favorites )

“Oh my God! You’re dead! I saw you die.” Hermione’s face turned deathly white as she stared at the profile of the man she thought had died and left her alone to face the world without him. Time has started to run backward for our heroine, as we watch the story of her love affair with one Severus Snape play out from finish to start and start again. *Mostly DH compliant, but definitely EWE.

The idea for this odd fic comes from the Seinfeld episode, “The Apology.” The story runs backwards from the start of the episode when the group is attending a wedding in India, back to the beginning (or the very last scene of the episode) when the invitation to the wedding arrives in the mail, stuttering back randomly every few minutes as events are presented in reverse order.

Destiny's Secret

by Fervesco

379 Ratings, 0 Likes, 57 Favorites )

COMPLETE! Hermione knows his secrets, his destiny unfulfilled. Snape sees only desolate dark. But in the tale of love and longing, Lily remembers everything.

All is not as it seems. The world of wizards is full of lies and half-truths.

Over twenty years ago, Severus Snape fell in love with Lily Evans, and he never stopped loving her. His every move, his every thought, is purely for her. And he has only one place, a room, hidden deep under the lake, where he can relax, not worry about whom he is spying on, what he should be saying and doing, where his loyalties lie. Somewhere he can reminisce about his childhood days there with Lily, to allow himself space to grieve.

That though, as with everything else, is about to change.

However, he’s not at all thrilled with what Healer Granger has to say about the side effects.... What were the side effects of the potion? You’ll never guess…

April Fool’s Day is supposed to be peppered with harmless jokes and pranks designed to bring a smile to the faces of pranksters and those pranked, alike. And while the idea of pulling a joke on the dour Potions master is never a good idea, looking at Hermione, Harry had to wonder just where the joke had gone wrong? Oneshot; DH compliant - but definitely EWE.
