Summary
When he arrives at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is not at all the boy everyone wants him to be. Harry does not speak, he does not make eye contact, he does not cast spells, he makes no magic at all. Not until he explodes in a hurricane of Dark magic, nearly leveling the entire Forbidden Forest with his uncontrollable fury.
Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts are horrified.
As the parasitic magic continues to consume the shy and skittish Boy Who Lived, it becomes up to his reluctant Head of House, Severus Snape, to determine exactly what’s wrong with the boy he loathes so very much — before it is too late.

Summary
"Perhaps a man who wants to redeem himself in the memory of the mother would, in turn, give comfort to a child." Dumbledore grinned at the other man's unbidden expression of shock. "But when said like that, it hardly encompasses the depth of emotion when I see you have cradled Harry Potter to sleep after a nightmare." Severus scowled. "I was not cradling him."

Summary
Still, he made them and kept them underneath his mattress, in hopes that one day, maybe he'd have someone who gave enough of a damn about him to want them.

Harry has kept every single project, report card, and graded paper he's ever gotten, no one but him has ever seen any value in them. Until he met Severus.

Summary
Taking place directly after the Battle of Hogwarts Harry is trying to deal with his trauma from the course of the events of the war and struggles to confront it, along with trying to manage his grief. Snape survived but disappeared in shame and remorse after the battle. Harry finds him, and they both discover that they have more in common now more than ever - Both are struggling with their sense of self and purpose. But stray Death Eaters from the battle are re-grouping for a final stand to take out the great Harry Potter, and their traitor, and Harry and Snape must put aside their differences to end the fight once and for all, whilst also dealing with Snape's illness along the way. No slash. Explores darker themes of grief, self-blame, PTSD, depression, and suicidal ideation.
I dedicate this story to my father who passed from a long battle with cancer at 61 years old on 15/03/2023 - whose journey was the inspiration for this story. xx
