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.

Wordcount: 5200

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: Dirty Harry
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairings: Harry/Severus, background Lily/James and Neville/OFC.
Content Notes: Fairy tale AU (Beauty and the Beast/Cinderella), angst, omniscient point of view
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: This part 4600
Summary: Harry was cursed to die at birth. His parents managed to hold back part of the spell, but it means that Harry is now cursed to be seen by everyone around him as a dirty servant. Only true love’s kiss can break the curse, but how can that ever happen when Harry disgusts everyone he meets?
Author’s Notes: This story has elements from both “Beauty and the Beast” and “Cinderella,” but is not exactly like either. This is one of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” fics for this year. It will have two parts.

Title: Brewing Glory
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Severus
Content Notes: Angst, AU in which Severus is alive
Rating: R
Wordcount: This part 3500
Summary: Harry never thought his lack of a Potions NEWT would conspire against him getting into the Aurors, but Kingsley is being scrupulously fair. And with Slughorn citing teaching duties and the severe lack of other great brewers Harry knows personally, he reluctantly begins to study with Snape.
Author’s Notes: This is another of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” fics, for jtsbbsps_dk, who requested Harry needing to receive his Potions NEWT and Snape having to be the one to teach him. The title, of course, is from Snape’s speech at the beginning of PS. There will be a second part to this tomorrow.

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.
