    Summary

    Tom had always considered it particularly petty on Albus Dumbledore’s part in assigning Tom to be the one to introduce muggleborn first years to Hogwarts. He was sure that Albus thought it was some sort of teaching moment, exposing Tom to muggles repeatedly as though he’d gain some sort of empathy and moral epiphany whenever he met a half-decent parent.

    However, it didn’t matter how many muggles he met or how many of them actually tried to be a decent parent to their magical children. There were more failures than successes, more broken homes and troubled children than not.

    And it seemed to be getting worse every year.

    *
    Professor Tom Riddle discovers the child that was thought to be a squib is not. When opportunity presents itself so neatly, he is not one to shy away from grabbing onto it.

    Summary

    The boy appeared as a small, crumpled figure in the cupboard, barely illuminated by the ghostly spell. His wild, unruly black hair stood out even in the dim light, and his broken glasses perched crookedly on his nose. He was painfully thin, his clothes hanging off his frame like sacks. Severus’s sharp gaze lingered on his face—too young, too frail. The boy should have been around seven but looked no older than five.
    ~~~
    This is a story about Severus Snape discovering compassion and affection in the most unexpected place—a small, silent boy who never spoke a word but conveyed entire stories through the depth of his actions, and the emotions in his gaze. It’s a tale of two scarred souls, each carrying their own burdens, finding solace, connection, and healing in each other’s presence.

    This is a story that’s almost entirely fluff with angst and just a sprinkle of plot.

    Summary

    When he arrives at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is not at all the boy everyone wants him to be. Harry does not speak, he does not make eye contact, he does not cast spells, he makes no magic at all. Not until he explodes in a hurricane of Dark magic, nearly leveling the entire Forbidden Forest with his uncontrollable fury.

    Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts are horrified.

    As the parasitic magic continues to consume the shy and skittish Boy Who Lived, it becomes up to his reluctant Head of House, Severus Snape, to determine exactly what’s wrong with the boy he loathes so very much — before it is too late.

    Summary

    Tom Riddle, Hogwarts’s beloved Defense professor, doesn’t know what happened to his top student Harry Potter over the summer, but by Merlin he’s going to find out. The normally brash and cheerful boy is now jumpy and haunted-looking, refusing to make eye contact in class and avoiding him in the corridors. Tom has seen enough traumatized and abused magical children to recognize the signs, and he won’t rest until he’s helped Harry and ensured his safety, just as he’s done for so many before him.

    Meanwhile, Harry doesn’t know how he woke up in a parallel universe where the Dark Lord is teaching Defense and has the whole world hoodwinked. But he’s the savior, damnit, and he’s going to protect this world—and his now-alive parents—even if he has to do it alone. No matter what unconventional tactics Voldemort is using now.

    A story of good intentions, miscommunication, and straight-up shenanigans.
