His life had been a mockery to itself, as too his death it seemed. For what kind of twisted humour would force Severus Snape to relive his greatest regret? To return him to the point in his life when the only person that ever mattered in his life had already turned away.

It's 1981, and the walls are closing in. There is a spy in the Order. Lily, James, and infant Harry Potter are in hiding but not safe under Fidelius yet. Severus Snape is not a trusted enough Death Eater to pass on crucial information, and Dumbledore still doubts Snape's loyalty. Peter Pettigrew is chewing at the walls where no one can see. And poison persists in the blood.

Sometimes all that's needed for enormous differences is a small change, as small as the order of a few sentences in a heated row. Lily Evans unconsciously makes one such change while arguing with her best friend, and the magnitude of consequences her actions cause holds the potential to reshape not only herself and the people around her, but their world's very future. A What-if AU

If Harry Potter could alter the past, he isn't sure what he'd change, but he knows he'd change something. If Severus Snape could hold history in his hands, he knows exactly what shape he would mold it into. Albus Dumbledore might flatter himself enough to think he would walk away from such power. But Delphi Riddle isn't here to serve any of them.

This one will keep you guessing. Rated M for future smut.

Life is not easy when your own family hates and fears you; this was a lesson Lily Evans learned early on. When you've spent most of your life living in a place that you're unwelcome, what happens when you discover another world that might be different? Future LilyxSeverus. Rated M for language, descriptions of abuse, and pretty much everything that falls under that category.

Three years after Voldemort visited Godric's Hollow, Lily now lives under the protection of loyal Death Eater Severus Snape in a world by ruled the Dark Lord's conquest. But the Order of the Phoenix is not completely eradicated, and two names are beginning to return to her: Harry and James. COMPLETE

19-year-old Lily Evans finds herself mysteriously in the future, a world she no longer recognizes. With no one else to turn to, she goes to her old friend Severus for help and sets out to fix the past. What will Severus do when the love of his life returns to him? [SS/LE]

"And even though it all went wrong/I'll stand before the Lord of Song/With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah…" For Severus Snape, playing music held as just much enchantment as performing actual magic. But how & why did he learn to play the piano? A life told through song as an homage to the greats Leonard Cohen and Alan Rickman. Written as part of the 2017 Snapecase Fest on LJ.

"Be careful, Severus. Tonight is Samhain. The dark half of the year has begun, and you know better than to think it's all cheerful fairy tales and bobbing for apples."

His life and his loyalties changed forever as he learned of what was to become of Lily's child. Without the power to stop Voldemort, Severus Snape had to do anything and everything to keep Lily safe. COMPLETE.

Severus Snape lost control of his life. Mistreated, neglected, and alone since birth, he tried to test new waters and find a place to call his own. He thought there would be purpose and power when he joined the Death Eaters, that maybe one day he and Lily could reunite in the Dark Lord's glory. Little did he know his decision would cost him everything. Rated M now for safety

She'd known that Sirius had a brother, of course. He complained about him all the time- loudly moaning to the entire common room about his stuck-up prat of a brother and how best to prank him. She had seen him around the castle before, sitting across the Great Hall or walking about with his Slytherin mates. None of that prepared her for coming face to face with him. One-shot.

"I read the book," he says. "Peter Pan. Took me all summer. And I've figured out why you're always so uptight and miserable: it's because you're trying so hard to be this Wendy character." / For Safari. (Sorry for cheating.)

She watched him from across the Great Hall, they hadn't spoken as friends in two years, but even after everything that had happened he was still with that horrid excuse of a girl. And she was still with James. And it sucked. Royally. AU, 7th year, !Head Boy/Girl

"He's convinced, more than ever, right here with her this close and with each faint explosion echoing his heartbeats, and the fact that he would have held her hand had it not for the umbrella and the bags: that once upon a time, there was a girl, and he was in love with her… and apparently it hasn't moved on to the next page yet." Oneshot.

"Was this what war created? Lily questioned. Broken people?" The rift between Sirius and Regulus was just as wide as her's and Petunia's. Perhaps that's why she found herself talking to Regulus Black, a week before their graduation.

A little insight into the relationship between Lily and Severus, a few stolen moments during the summer before their sixth year. Teenage curiosity in the form of Lily Evans. Cannon compliant, with the exception of Snape's Worst Memory.

Snape and Lily promised each other when they were younger to be together always. Events of course changed that, but is it possible that a promise, one of a lifetime, can be fulfilled if one counts on love to lead the way?

Severus wants to make Lily a special gift of something she saw in a book in the library, but doesn't get the chance to until after they're both dead. It turns out to have surprising properties.

Lily decides to get Severus drunk one summer night. Angst thereby incurred happily resolves itself into, uh, happiness.

Regulus Black already knows he's made a horrible mistake. He's not sure what to do about it, though, and the only person who seems to listen to him these days is someone who should, by rights, be hexing him on sight. It probably won't end well.
