    Summary

    As usual summer before third year is really hard…

    After an unfortunate incident with Aunt Marge, Harry finds himself staying with Snape and his live-in boyfriend of 12 years.

    Only, Snape is just as awful as ever and his boyfriend is really cool and nice and makes Harry feel important… but as time goes on, it’s clear that all is not as it seems. Because Snape is actually… well, he’s not a decent guy, but he does care about protecting children from abuse, apparently.

    But his boyfriend… It turns out that not all guys who seem good end up being good in the end. As he watches his professor’s relationship dissolve he can’t help feeling like an awful person for being an active participant in it.

    It never once crosses his mind that Harry was being groomed and abused in a grossly different way than he was used to.

    OR

    Not only do old secrets get revealed, but Professor Snape’s boyfriend takes advantage of Harry while he’s staying there for the summer leading to shifts in perspective and possibly… healing?

    Summary

    Part One (OotP) complete.

    Her remains exhumed as part of Voldemort's grotesque resurrection ritual, Lily Potter is inadvertently brought back to life by unknown magic. She is twenty-one, a widow, and mother to a rebellious teenage boy. Bafflingly, her ex-best friend, Severus Snape, is said to have worked tirelessly to protect her son over the years, yet wants nothing to do with her. For his part, Harry Potter, at first overjoyed to have his mother back alive, begins to chafe under her authority and worry she has feelings for the teacher he so despises.

    Part Two (HBP + DH) in the works.

    After a dramatic summer, Harry vows to focus on Dumbledore’s lessons, not his mother’s love life. Try as he might, he cannot ignore Snape’s increasingly suspicious behavior: covering for Malfoy, pathetically fawning over Lily, and pretending he doesn’t hate Harry. Lily throws herself into teaching and recruitment efforts but frets over Severus and his refusal to disclose the details of the burden Dumbledore has placed on his shoulders.

    Summary

    Left to cope with the recent loss of his godfather, Harry wanders outside of the wards secured around Privet Drive and finds himself in the care of a furious Professor Snape. Forced together in a run-down house in Spinner's End, Harry and Severus face their greatest challenge yet: surviving each other.

    Set after OotP, no slash, fic centered around Sevitus relationship, lots of angst, slow-burn enemies-to-mentor fic :)

    Summary

    Harry, having grown up a little more rough around the edges than Dumbledore would have hoped for, decided to embrace the part of himself that the Hat said would do well in Slytherin. But instead of letting it sort him amongst the snakes, he decided to do it his way—by using the foolhardy bravery that Gryffindor was known for to hide the cunning he kept close to his chest.

    Harry begins his journey into the magical world, unknowingly following his parents footsteps far closer than anyone could have expected. Of course, to be able to notice this, people would have first had to have known the path his parents actually took. Hidden heritages and unexpected inheritances lead to chaos as two generations of marauders come together to save the world from the havoc created by prejudice and ego.

    The title comes from the saying "if you can't blow them away with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullshit".
