Content Notes: AU (Slytherin Harry), angst, bullying, violence, short scenes, Death Eater Harry, Dark magic, minor character deaths
Rating: PG-13
Summary: AU. Severus Snape does not want to mentor the Boy-Who-Lived, but it seems inevitable when Potter is placed into his House. As the years pass and Potter turns darker and darker, Severus wonders whether he succeeded or failed.
Author’s Notes: This is part of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” series, for a prompt by NewMidnightBlueJay, which is essentially the summary. It will be posted with a scene or a few scenes daily until it finishes with the solstice. The title means a slow tempo in music.

Title: Runes, Stones, and Kingfishers
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Severus pre-slash
Content Notes: AU in that Severus lives, Headmaster Severus Snape, mild angst, humor
Wordcount: This part 3000
Rating: PG-13
Summary: This might have been a good week for Severus if an incompetent Ravenclaw student hadn’t managed to Transfigure himself into a kingfisher and get stuck that way, secret rooms weren’t suddenly being revealed all over Hogwarts, and the stones weren’t trying to eat snogging students, and if the Ministry didn’t think the right way to solve these problems was to send Auror Harry Potter to fix it.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Litha to Lammas” fics, being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August this year. It was written for goddess47’s request for Harry/Severus and Severus having a bad day as Headmaster, and will have two parts.

Title: All Men Kill the Things They Love
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Severus
Content Notes: AU (Severus survives), multiple character deaths, suicide, gore, violence, angst
Rating: R
Wordcount: This part 5000
Summary: After the war, the last thing Severus wants to do is help Potter. But Potter’s tale of a curse that has killed almost everyone he loves, and his plea for help to break that curse, stirs Severus’s intellectual curiosity, if nothing else. As he and Potter work side-by-side on the curse, however, Severus begins to suspect, uneasily, that Potter may want to do more than simply prevent the number of dead from increasing; he may want to bring them back.
Author’s Notes: This is the first of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” fics being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It is, as you can see from the notes, an extremely dark story. It should have four parts, to be posted over the next four days. The title is from Oscar Wilde’s poem “The Ballad of Reading Gaol,” quoted below and at the end.

Title: Bend Before the Sun
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Snape pre-slash
Content Notes: Rituals, angst, mentions of blood and wounds, AU in that Severus survives Nagini
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 5900
Summary: Severus survives Nagini’s bite, but the wound bleeds continually and resists all attempts at closing it. A ritual held on the summer solstice might help, but it needs a wizard of immense power to conduct the healing rite—and Severus cannot believe that Harry Potter really wants to help him.
Author’s Notes: The first of my “From Litha to Lammas” fics being posted between the Summer Solstice and the first of August. A request from goddess47 for Severus teaching Harry about Solstice rituals and something happy-making.

Title: Under the New Regime
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Content Notes: Angst, AU in that Severus lives
Pairing: Harry/Severus pre-slash
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 7300
Summary: Hearing that Potter has given up magic and moved out of the wizarding world is the last thing Severus expects. The life-debt he thought was settled has begun itching again, and the only thing that seems sure to quell it is teaching Potter the meaning of magic and wonder...even if the last thing Severus wants to be is a bloody teacher.
Author’s Notes: Another of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” fics, for Averon, who asked for a one-shot in which Harry has left the wizarding world and given up magic, and Snape is the one who has a problem with it.

Title: Counterpart Positioning
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Content Notes: No pairings/gen, mild angst, AU
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 3500
Summary: Severus Snape, despite being from another world, finds plenty to irritate him in this one, when people question his friendship with Harry Potter. A sequel to World in Pieces and “Inside View.”
Author’s Notes: This is another of my Advent fics, from an anonymous request for a sequel to World in Pieces. Out of a couple of suggested plots, I chose this one: Perhaps a situation where people in Harry's universe (Draco or other former Slytherins?) who are familiar with the animosity between Harry and the original Snape think that the new Snape's friendship with Harry must be false and also feel, rather like the portrait, that new Snape's true loyalty must naturally be for those that his counterpart was closer to? Naturally, the new Snape puts them in their place. It will help to have read both World in Pieces and my other one-shot in that universe, “Inside View,” first.

Title: An Urn For Her Ashes
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Eventual Snarry, Lily/James and past unrequited Severus/Lily
Warnings: Major AU, violence
Rating: R
Summary: AU. When Voldemort inflicted the Horcrux on baby Harry, his mother’s love manifested by wrapping around it to protect him—giving Harry some personality traits and memories of Lily’s. Dumbledore takes personal charge of Harry, helping him cope with the memories and train to defeat Voldemort. Severus meets him for the first time when Harry is seventeen years old.
Author’s Notes: So, as should be obvious from the summary, this is a major AU. There will probably be six or seven chapters, updated every seventeen days.

A Death Eater’s son becomes the secretly reared and hidden savior.
Author’s Notes: Another Advent fic, written for an anonymous request for Harry and Snape gen interaction, and the note that it could be a new universe. So here you are!
