Summary
Seven months into Severus Snape's term as Headmaster, he finally perfects a potion that could change the war for the better… or destroy everything Dumbledore set in motion before his death.
Dumbledore is dead, and his plans seem to be falling apart before Severus' eyes. Harry Potter and his friends are no closer to finding and destroying the Horcruxes, and Voldemort's hold over the wizarding world is growing. Severus Snape desperately creates a potion that can send him back five years into the past. Hopefully, with more time, he can find the Horcruxes, find a way to save Harry from the Horcrux inside him and maybe even save some of his other students along the way.
Or he could fail and doom them all.

TW for the series: As of Chapter 86 in December 2023, the rating for this fic has been updated to M from T. For the last half of this story, there have been more and more fight scenes and deaths, and I have felt like I have been toeing the line, so finally increased the rating. All problematic scenes have TW at the start of the chapter so the reader can skip scenes if they wish.Series

Summary
Rose Lily Potter has always been the forgotten twin, living in the shadow of her brother Harry, the Boy Who Lived. As the world focuses on Harry’s destiny, Rose harbours dark and powerful secrets of her own. Unseen, misunderstood, and shunned for her placement in Slytherin, Rose discovers abilities that transcend those of ordinary witches. With magic tied to the forces of life and death itself, she finds herself in a role she never asked for, one that she doesn’t fully understand.
As darkness grows and war looms on the horizon, Rose is pulled deeper into a twisted fate, where every choice teeters on the edge of danger. Her growing connection with Theodore Nott, the only one who sees beyond her scars and fears, offers her a sliver of warmth in the cold, unforgiving world she inhabits.
But as Rose’s powers intensify, so do the risks. Unraveling the mysteries of her own magic may be the only way to protect those she loves—including a brother who refuses to see her.

Summary
This is a chaotic collection of stories for each alphabet which explores the life and time of Severus Snape. The stories may belong to one timeline and some may differ. Most of the situations are divergent from canon but the characters have been kept as close to canon as possible. This features almost every important character from the universe but centralizes around our favourite Potion's Master. There is friendship, love, romance, smut, torture, treachery, power play, manipulations and deceptions galore along with disastrous revelations of long kept secrets and humorous interventions by our most beloved characters as well as heart wrenching tragedies.
If you would rather look at the books from a much danker perspective or as they say like to interpret certain situations from the other side as they have seen it.. this is your place. And who better than to join the wickedly sarcastic and sadistically funny Slytherin Head of House, Potioneer extraordinaire, fearsome wizard, master spy and cantankerous Professor Severus Snape.

Summary
Harry Potter has magical power that has never been seen before, an ever growing gang of powerful and brilliant allies, and enough cunning and strength to face whatever comes his way this year.
Unfortunately, Harry Potter also has mental illness, a tendency for idiocy, powerful enemies, and a reckless streak that has taken at least ten years off Severus Snape’s lifespan so far- so Severus enters the year with more reservations than his foolish ward does.
Alliances will be tested, lines will be drawn, and Hogwarts is beginning to feel like a battlefield more than a school.
Which, in Harry’s opinion, is perfectly brill.
Welcome to Year Five.
