Severus stood a few paces before her. His eyes were on the ruined cauldron. "Tell me," his voice shook, and tears formed in his eyes, "why do you wear flowers in your hair?" He kept looking to his cauldron. "I don't understand." "How does such a simple ritual bring you happiness? Why are you always---" he stepped closer to her, "so---" by her elbows, he gently held her to him, "---happy?" A droplet escaped from his eye, splashing on the floor between them. He gazed his vulnerability into her eyes, his dark tresses brushing his chin. "Tell me, do you believe in shifting reality?" Severus's hooked nose brushed against hers. He repeated his response from last year. "I do not believe in miracles." ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯○○◯○○⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Rᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ, ғʀɪᴇɴᴅsʜɪᴘ, & ᴛʜᴇ ɪᴍᴘᴏssɪʙʟᴇ ʜᴏᴘᴇ. Tʜᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴘᴏᴛɪᴏɴ ʜᴇ ᴄᴀɴɴᴏᴛ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ.

Riann Hsu's life takes a drastic turn when she got engaged to Edward Vanderbilt, one of New York's richest billionaires, based on a deal. The terms are clear, the most important one is: clear abuse allegations against Edward and rebuild his dead reputation, and he'd help her repay her mom's debts and hand her the socialite role on a silver platter. The only thing keeping her from having a peaceful marriage is the animosity between her and Theodore, her fiance's son and devil-reincarnate. They're both biding their time to destroy each other. But the line between desire and hatred blurs when, in a moment of mutual wanting and vulnerability, he shows her just what his mouth is capable of aside from throwing snark comments her way. From pushing aside her growing feelings for Theo to discovering strange clues that reveal dark secrets the family hides, she has to fight off every obstacle lining up her way to remain in the household. As she digs deeper into the family's buried past, the mystery turns out to be darker than an ordinary case of domestic violence. Everyone in the Vanderbilt family holds an agenda of their own, and if she wants to find the culprit before they target her this time, she has to pretend she is just a naive, housewife unaware of the danger lurking around. But investigating an unsolved case by herself is risky, and it's only a matter of time before someone sees through her pretense and ruins her plan. · · · [ status: ongoing ] ‣ extended blurb + trigger warnings inside

What happens when a young pofessor falls for her notorious colleague Severus Snape and reconsiders her sexual orientation for him?

Summary: Severus Snape found some of his duties as a Death Eater particularly distasteful. Rounding up a band of rebel students trying to avoid the changing of the guard at Hogwarts wasn't nearly the worst thing he'd done, and it was possibly even the best. He is tempted to save one of his former students from an unfortunate fate as the group of students are captured by the band of Death Eaters, led by Severus. He isn't sure what game she is playing at, but he is compelled to find out. Author's note: It is my second time writing something since school, and if you enjoyed my first fan fiction, Severus Snape A Soul Undiminished, I hope you will enjoy this one as well. I will forego my standard warning for the steamy chapters and just include it here, as this story may have unplanned "steaminess" throughout that may be more adult in nature. Stylized of course, as it seems that is my nature of writing. I would like to thank Alan Rickman, as his wonderful talent and persona is at heart my inspiration for this story. I would also like to thank the creator of Harry Potter, JK Rowling, for providing us such an intriguing world for which to escape to, and even make our own stories in. The premise of Harry Potter belongs to her, along with the characters she created, and I can only claim any of my own original storylines and characters in this fan fiction. Also, if you enjoy a chapter I've written, please vote. It makes me happy:).
