Summary
Severus Snape didn't want to live. He never really had. He dedicated his life to redeeming his sins and when he believed he had done so, he was ready to die. He had nothing left, he always knew he wouldn't come out alive from the war. But he did, and now he has to deal with the shame of having confided his biggest secrets to Potter, of being considered a hero when he just wants to set himself on fire, and of having a whole life ahead of him that he didn't want or plan. The only thing he can do is retreat to the place he detests the most, where no one can bother him: the horrible house of his childhood. There he thinks he will continue to live, but at least he will be alone.
Or so he thought, until the day he saw you standing in front of his door.

Summary
When you're struggling to find a job to pay your collage debts and apartment, a shady man in a suit greets you on the train. When he offers you a job clearing less-than-ideal tenants from their rooms, will you take this opportunity? Or will you lose everything you worked so hard for?
Alternatively: You never got rid of your Dumblr account and never stopped writing through college, what if you so happened to see your biggest fan (who you've been texting), while trying to make ends meet?

Summary
Sylvia’s first choice had always been Sirius Black. She had fallen for him easily, much like most other girls at Hogwarts, drawn in by his irresistible charm and magnetic confidence. But as time went on, cracks began to form in their relationship. And after a year of dating, new feelings and doubts begin to seep their way into the crevices, leaving Sylvia to realize that her heart might not have been as certain as she once thought.
Severus Snape, on the other hand, was never supposed to be an option at all. He was impossibly aloof, always brooding alone in the shadows of Hogwarts. He was the last person she ever expected to care for. But throughout a year-long partnership with him in Potion’s, she begins to see another side of him, one that nobody else ever bothered to uncover. The dedication he poured into his work. The rare kindness he managed to mask so well. And slowly, her dread of working with him blossoms into something she never anticipated, a connection she never knew could exist.

Summary
This story follows the untold story of the adults in The Order of The Phoenix and their efforts in preparing for the second wizarding war. A deep exploration of Sirius Black’s character, and a slow burn romance.
Recruitment efforts result in a forgotten face from Remus Lupin and Sirius Black’s school years being enlisted to the Order. Lexa has been living in the muggle world with her muggle father since the first wizarding war, but she decides to rejoin the wizarding world after being convinced by Remus Lupin she is needed to support Harry, her best friend Lily’s son. It becomes clear that she and Sirius have a shared history that, stubbornly, neither of them want to discuss or admit to. But, at the same time the darkness that has enveloped Sirius doesn’t seem to be shiftable by anyone but her.
