    Summary

    Severus Snape’s existence is a mistake. His mother hints at it often enough with her regretful, drawn-out sighs, while his father prefers to get the message across with a good strapping and a lecture on his worthlessness. Needless to say, the twelve-year-old is not particularly inclined to trust adults, no matter how concerned or caring they claim to be.

    His life changes abruptly, however, one late evening in September when an illicit brewing session results in a forced trip to the Hogwarts infirmary. Not only is the truth about Severus' home life discovered, but an investigation reveals that shortly prior to his mother’s unexpected death, a single piece of parchment was deposited into her Gringotts vault—a Last Will and Testament in which Eileen Snape née Prince grants guardianship of her son to none other than Albus Dumbledore himself.

    Summary

    When his role in Dumbledore’s plan is compromised, Severus Snape must temporarily disappear. With some experimental magic, he can be hidden in plain sight. The downside? Severus Snape has been transformed into a very young, very frightened child. Dumbledore and McGonagall disagree on how much effort should be expended on a temporary second chance. And what exactly made Severus Snape become Severus Snape?

    Meanwhile, Harry Potter tries to unravel the mystery of what happened to the previous Potions Master.

    Summary

    A hand comes down on her shoulder, gentle—always carefully gentle like this in the least suspecting of moments—and then it’s gone. He beams at her, widely enough that the corners of his eyes crinkle, his irises glimmering a delicate violet underneath the sun's rays. All at once, her face flushes pink, fond, and so, so warm.

    or: 5+1 as yuki watches tooru, but tooru's been looking back the whole time.

    Summary

    Abandoned by his mother, Eileen, after the death of his father, Tobias, fifteen-year-old Severus Snape is trying to survive his summer in a dingy house that he could be evicted from any day now. But luck would run out, and an accidental bout of magic alerts the ministry. And as the cold hand of authority closed around him, Severus Snape could only wonder what awaited him on the other side of this nightmare, and whether he would ever find his way back to the light. But when the Potters sweep in to give him a roof over his head, he believes he's lost the light altogether.

    Summary

    When Yanli had initially floated the idea of a weekly family breakfast (to bring everyone together, she had said, and to welcome A-Xian’s husband into the family), Jiang Cheng hadn’t been particularly thrilled. It had at least been an excuse to see A-Jie more regularly, though, and the way Jin Ling’s little face lit up every Sunday morning when he arrived was enough to keep him coming back each week.

    So yes, he’s come to enjoy his weekly Sunday morning routine. So what? He’s only human. And he’s a good brother, no matter what anyone says.
