    Summary

    Harry Potter is murdered, crucified for the last-ditch effort at the greater good. But death is not as black and white as one would want it, not when Death claims you as his master. Harry has a do-over, reincarnated back into his past life, with all the knowledge he needs to piece back together with an old enemy that might just be the only one that can save him from his grizzly fate in 1999.

    Thinking back on it there really should have been a rule. Don’t travel back in time if you are just going to fall in love with the person that you are destined to kill. And as an add on if you are going to fall in love with them make sure that they stay focused on the task at hand and do not overindulge in dark magic and madness along the way.

    To his surprise, the person who comes looking for him at night, when he cries all alone in the dark corridors, is Snape. Snape, who he's weirdly obsessed with. Snape, who disgruntledly takes care of him, soothes him and, inevitably, loves him. It is the only thing that keeps Harry sane.
    A reimagining of the books Five through Seven, making sure both Harry and Severus get what they deserve. Each other.

    Summary

    Pacify:
    1. To allay the anger or agitation of
    2. To reduce to a submissive state

    He would do his duty. He would save Draco, if he could. He would protect the students, if and when the school fell to the Deatheaters. And Potter. As far as he was concerned, Potter could have whatever he wanted, now. What was the point of trying to tell him no if he was going to be sacrificed on the pyre of the greater good? If Potter wanted to learn, Severus would be his teacher. If he wanted a master, then Severus would make him submit. And if he wanted a lover... well. Severus would love him. And that was it. Anything else was a waste of time. And there was so little of that.

    ***

    A complete reimagining of books six and seven (plus), running parallel to canon. And then a SHARP DIVERSION FROM CANON.

    ***

    From a reader: "Basically, Pacify is like, you know how in canon both Harry and Severus are pushed and pushed and pushed by external forces/emotional manipulation until they are backed into a corner? Pacify is...what if they were backed into the same corner?"

    Swear
    1. To bind oneself by oath
    2. To make a solemn promise; vow
    3. To invoke the name of a sacred being or deity
    4. To use profane or obscene language

    Severus opened his mouth, closed it again, and then said the only thing he could think of.

    “I am… unspeakably proud of you.”

    3. Always, continually
    4. In spite of: Nevertheless

     

    “How are you feeling?” Harry asked, and hesitantly raised his hand to stroke over Severus’ back, over the ridges of old wounds, and the sinewy muscle wrapped around bone. His soldier, cast in iron and covered with a patina of scars. Merlin, he was so in love. “Did you sleep alright?”

    Safety:
    1. The condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury
    2. A device designed to prevent inadvertent or hazardous operation

     

    “So…” Harry paused. “We’re a couple, and… you’re my… partner.”

    “Oh, yes.” Severus started kissing a trail up Harry’s body, speaking against his skin. “Devoted. Faithful.” He could feel Harry’s heartbeat under his mouth, and it sped up just a little. And he liked that… rather a lot.

    “And… we don’t have to hide anymore?”

    “Not ever again.”

    Summary

    NOW WITH ART!!

    Sanctum
    1. A sacred or holy place
    2. An inviolably private place or retreat

     

    Harry wished Severus had drawn blood. Wished he’d made a scar. A token to take with him into war, like the scratches he’d left on Severus’ back after the hearing. He almost scoffed to think of that, now. The Governors. Lupin. The snatchers. Fools, all of them. As if anything on earth could keep Severus from him now. Severus himself had said it, ages ago. No grave, no pyre, not even the end of the world. Not even the falling sky. Nothing.

    Summary

    NOW WITH ART!

    Solace:
    1. comfort in grief : alleviation of grief or anxiety
    2. a source of relief or consolation

     

    Love him enough, teach him enough, make him strong enough, and maybe it will be enough.

     
    That was Severus’ mantra, now.
    Love him, teach him, strengthen him, save him.
    Over and over again, in his mind. Like wish, or a prayer.
    Love him. Teach him. Strengthen him. Save him. Over and over and over.

     


    It was the loudest at night, when Harry was asleep beside him. Intrusive, sometimes. Keeping him awake.

     


    SAVE HIM.

    Summary

    NOW WITH ART!

    Steady:
    1. Not easily disturbed or upset
    2. Constant in feeling, principle, purpose, or attachment

    “Why does it even matter if people get suspicious?” Harry lay back and stretched, and Severus watched him do it. He was almost cat-like, with an unselfconscious grace that took him off guard each time he saw it. It was how he looked on a broomstick. The absolute master of his body. Harry looked over at him staring, and smiled.

    Oh, that smile.

    Unguarded. Uncomplicated. Free, and easy. It made Severus feel drunk with power to put an expression like that on his face. He lifted one of Harry’s hands to his lips and kissed his knuckles. I love you, he thought. It was becoming almost routine, thinking that. I love you. Almost normal. Almost tolerable to hold in his mind, now.

    Pacify
    1. To allay the anger or agitation of
    2. To reduce to a submissive state

    Shatter
    1. To break at once into pieces
    2. to damage badly : ruin

    “You think this will ease your suffering,” Severus said, squeezing Harry’s wrists still clasped in his hands. “But it won’t. It will destroy you.” I will destroy you.

    “I want you to,” Harry murmured, and Severus' resistance wasn't enough to keep him from being pulled closer, Potter’s breath feathering across his lips. And in some ways, the fact that his eyes were closed made it worse - made the words whispered against his mouth all the more obscene: “I want you to tear me apart.”

    ***

    Harry and Severus tumble into an intensely inappropriate physical relationship after events at Headquarters spiral out of control. Severus, digging his heels in, tries to stop, but he is just not strong enough.

    Summary

    Harry Potter really didn’t plan on living past his fated confrontation with Lord Voldemort. When the latent basilisk venom and phoenix tears in his blood started making dramatic changes to his body, he wasn’t that concerned. It’s not like he was going to live long enough for it to be a problem anyway.

    Even if he had planned to live past the final battle, then he could never have guessed the struggle awaiting him on the other side, or that he’d become a magnet for those with nowhere else to go like the snarky house elf, the grumpy phoenix, the injured vampire, or the stray werewolf that showed up on their doorstep…oh, and the egg. You can’t forget the egg; that’s the most important, more than anyone or anything else on the planet. Harry will do whatever it takes…literally whatever, even light the fire and watch the world burn, all for the sake of the egg.

    Summary

    What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.

    It turned into a series rewrite.

    Here's book two.

    Features: a Harry Potter making a ridiculous amount of terrible decisions; an exhausted Remus Lupin that did NOT sign up for this but by god will he be there for Harry anyways; a Severus Snape who didn't actually think this year could be worse then last year and is proven wrong in a big way; Dumbledore being awful; and Harry's snake Merlin, who just wants to play quidditch ONE TIME.

    Here's book one, I guess.

    Features Harry Potter trying to keep his friends from doing crimes, a tired Remus Lupin spontaneously adopting a traumatized child with absurd magical capabilities, Severus Snape doing the bare minimum which is still somehow more than what Dumbledore is capable of, and Harry's friends' growing exasperation with Harry's terrible decision-making skills.

    Summary

    There were very few things in Harry Potter's life that he was certain of. There was one absolute certainty though; he'd felt it in his bones for as long as he could remember. He, Harry Potter, was dead. The living people around him might not believe, but the dead sure did. Oh well, it doesn't impact his life much. Besides, it's nice to get help with his schoolwork from his parents.

    Summary

    What if the prophecy kept at the Hall of Prophecies was manipulated to suit the needs of an old manipulator?

    What if the recent Dark Lord forgot his original goals in his quest to attain immortality and cheat Death?

    What if the Boy-Who-Lived accepted his death even before he knew he was the Boy-Who-Lived?

    And what if the Fates intervened to start a new game of 'chess'?

    ---------
    “Dumbledore seriously needs to check his morals! He wants a child to kill a grown-up wizard! Not to mention one of the most powerful dark wizards in Britain!”

    “The prophecy does say you’d be his equal," Atropos pointed out.

    “Only raw magical power won’t be able to do anything," Harry pointed out. “I can’t just fire off spells at him and hope for the best. Besides, he must have had at least three decades worth of experience over me.”

    “Five decades actually," Lord Death supplied.

    Harry slumped slightly. “You guys and Dumbledore both are insane!”, he proclaimed.

    “We didn’t say you will have to kill him really," Atropos pointed out.
