    Summary

    When Harry had watched his Godfather, the only man with whom he had ever thought that he might have a chance at a real home life, pass into the veil in the Department of Mysteries, Harry had felt as if a part of himself died along with Sirius.

    With nowhere else to go and no real hope for his future, Harry is sent to spend yet another bleak summer with the Dursleys on Privet Drive. Things simply couldn't be worse. Or could they?

    A series of minor hiccups and massive devastations lead Harry right into what he would consider to be the worst situation of his life, but that unlikely scenario may turn out to be exactly what he's needed all along.

    Summary

    Harry Potter is being ignored by everyone who’s supposed to care, takes a fall off a ladder and wakes up in a hospital. With nowhere left to go and a deep mistrust of adult intervention, he escapes to London for a night where things, naturally, get worse. He’s got no plan, a bruised skull, and a wand he’s not allowed to use. What he does get is Severus Snape, pressed into reluctant babysitter duty by Dumbledore himself.

    Summary

    Harry is depressed, and after a particularly harsh beating, takes to harming himself once more to shove his emotions down. But he cuts too deep, and nearly bleeds out.

    Now, stuck on suicide watch in Snape's home upon demand of Dumbledore, Harry is determined not to get better. It's easier to never feel, to just bleed away his emotions.

    Or,

    Severitus fic revolving around healing from self-harm addiction and learning to lean on those around us for comfort rather than the sharp allure of a blade.

    Obviously, massive content warning for graphic, frequent self-harm, but also for graphic child abuse at the beginning. After that, it's mostly talks of deaths, guilt, the usual. Really though;

    Love yourself. If you're not in the headspace for this, don't feel pressured to read.

    Summary

    On the first day of summer after 5th year, Harry is sure that he will have the longest, worst summer of his life. Still grieving Sirius and with thoughts of the prophecy, his only thought is to make it to Hogwarts in the fall.

    His plans are ruined when a Death Eater attack leaves the Dursleys dead, the blood wards destroyed, and Severus Snape's cover as spy blown. Now, both are wanted by the Dark Lord and in danger. For their own safety, Dumbledore sends the two to a safe house, far to the north -- a cottage by the sea. There, Harry and Severus learn far more about each other than they ever dreamed.

    (Post OoTP, but alternate HBP. Pure Severitus angst. No Snarry romance, but maybe a little Hinny. Not beta read or Britt picked.)

    Summary

    Severus Snape has spent years ignoring Harry Potter.

    It becomes harder to do when the boy shows up to class pale, tense and hiding his hands.

    Severus Snape notices.

    Something is happening in Dolores Umbridge’s detentions, something Harry refuses to talk about.

    And for once, ignoring it might not be an option.
