MAIN STORY FINISHED, ADDITIONAL MATERIAL STILL BEING POSTED. ONLY "Epilogue: Exploration" and "Epilogue: Education" ARE MATURE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS TEEN. Severus had always believed that romance wasn't for him. Everyone else believed him to be filthy death eater scum, and he agreed, never fathoming the concept of someone liking him enough to actually pursue a relationship with him. Until one fine day in sixth year, when he finds himself with a small, three year old child clinging to his right leg, calling him Papa. Cross Posted on AO3 under MoonlightEtherealAria

This a Severus Snape-centric AU beginning the summer before his fifth year at Hogwarts. The main focus is on Severus' evolving relationship with the Marauders, once they come to the conclusion that the only way to get through this summer intact is to cooperate. I wrote this fic as a response to a series of what-ifs that kept nagging me, the main one being: What if Severus had come to Dumbledore sooner? What if the Marauders didn't screw all up? Skittleverse is here guys!!!! You can find the story here too https://m.fanfiction.net/s/2713360/1/

The golden trio + Ginny and Snape are going to the Riddle manor. What if they are stuck there with Voldemort, Lucius and Draco? Will they survive?
