Summary
Anybody who is familiar with the Potions and Snitches site knows that it's a site predominantly about various relationships between Harry and Snape - it has everything you could think of - except Slash.
I found this challenge on that site, and it's called Just Pretending (For Christmas) :
Severus is in big trouble. He doesn't have any kids, but he's supposed to be bringing his son to Christmas to meet his family, who he's been estranged from for twelve or thirteen (or more) years. Harry ends up being that pretend son.

Summary
When Harry fails to keep his anger at bay and Voldemort possesses his mind, the events that follow lead him down a long road to realizing the world isn't as black and white as it seems.
Chaos, hilarity, and tragedy ensue with a Dark Lord being honest all the time, a rival becoming something else, and a world demanding to be saved. Featuring frightened Death Eaters, deep conversations with a monster, Pureblood traditions being ridiculous, and the fight to do the right thing with no true options.
Harry's life just gets more and more bizarre with each passing moment.

Or, the one where Harry's life gets split in half, and he has to figure out how to bring it back together.

Summary
Harry was angry.
Sometimes he thought that’s all he was: a ball of fiery rage, bottled so tightly that it exploded in regular intervals. Every other emotion glossed over. Anger was all he knew.
No, that wasn’t right. He also knew fear. Visceral, suffocating fear.
Or: Severus Snape finds out about the Dursley's
Classic Severus Snape becomes Harry Potter's parental figure fic. Mind the tags!!! I will continue to update them as I update the story.
