This is a continuation of the story began in The Murtlap Thief, but it can be read stand-alone as well.

Midnight Discoveries by tt22123 reviews
Walking along a corridor at midnight proved more eventful than Snape was hoping for. He made discoveries that he may have wished weren't true but was glad that he found out all the same. Kind of Severitus story. Characters are not quite compliant with canon and the story is AU. TW's for abuse and self harm. I do not own the characters nor the series by JK. Spell-checked now,

Sky and Water by Dayja reviews
"Blood of the friend, forcibly taken, you will resurrect your ally." Voldemort is resurrected. It doesn't go exactly like in the books. This is what happens when I read a bunch of 'good Voldemort, evil Dumbledore' stories, and then try to imagine what it would actually be like for a good Severus Snape in such a universe during the 13 years spent alone at Dumbledore's side.
