Slow Burn Fanfiction | Rated 18+ Severus Snape x Reader (Professor) You're not just starting a job at Hogwarts - you're stepping into a place alive with secrets, shadows, and the kind of magic that lingers long after the spells have faded. The ancient castle holds mysteries you've always longed to unravel... but the greatest enigma isn't hidden in its halls. It's standing right in front of you: Professor Severus Snape. From the moment your eyes meet, the tension is undeniable. Snape is colder, sharper, more unreadable than ever. His gaze unsettles you, his words sting - and yet, something in you stirs. Something you don't want to name. What begins as barbed exchanges and veiled glances soon unravels into something far more dangerous. A slow-burning connection. Irresistible. Unspoken. And in a place where nothing is ever what it seems, you might just lose more than your heart.

Severus Snape never believed in love. Not after Lily Potter died. Not after the war took everything from him, leaving behind a miserable husk of a man. But, the universe has a funny way of giving you the very things you thought you never wanted. Or ones you never thought you'd ever have... And for the grumpy Potions Master, that comes in the form a five foot two blonde spitfire who upends everything he thought he knew.

Aemond Targaryen spent most of his life alone, being picked on by his own brothers and nephews constantly for being considered a "twat" or "freak", but not by his niece, Alyssa Arryn. Alyssa was his niece through his younger half sister, Princess Viserra Targaryen, and her husband, Lord Hubert Arryn. They were raised in two different parts of the world, never truly getting close, but she remained in his thoughts. She remained in his heart. One night he gets the courage to claim the almighty Vhagar for himself, but then horrors fill the caves of Driftmark...as well as the walls of the Eyrie. Horrors that would weaken House Targaryen for many, many years. Will the house of the dragon recover after such tragedies hit? Will Aemond be forever forced to only know Alyssa in his thoughts? Will Alyssa be strong enough to endure what the gods intend for her? ****A lot of OC's in this, and as usual High Valyrian dialogue is italicized**** ***This is my darkest story. I understand it might get a little too dark at times, but I will do my best to guide those that wanna skip those parts with my TW's so just remember. You were warned*** ***bring tissues. Y'all know I'm gonna make you cry***

Severus Snape has spent over the last decade keeping his heart blocked off from the world. He's given up on finding his happiness and given up on love. When a new professor shows up and begins to melt away the ice of his heart, he finds new life within himself. But the ghosts of her past stand in the way, particularly an ex-lover of hers and a former enemy of Severus Snape. Can the two of them work through their own tribulations, or will his beliefs and values be cemented forever?

||Complete|| Vaelyra Velaryon was never meant to exist. The second daughter of Corlys Velaryon and Rhaenys Targaryen, she was born with memories of another life - a life where she had seen on a TV Show some of the brutal war known as the Dance of the Dragons. Knowing the fate of Westeros, Vaelyra refuses to be a mere spectator in history. With her wit, ambition, and the advantage of foresight, she devises a daring plan: to claim the Iron Throne for herself. Her greatest ally? Aemond Targaryen, the second son of Viserys Targaryen and Alicent Hightower. A boy once mocked for not having a dragon, Aemond's destiny changed the night he claimed Vhagar, the mightiest living dragon in the realm. With Vaelyra whispering in his ear, shaping his ambitions, he becomes more than just the Greens' deadliest weapon-he becomes a king in the making. Together, they forge an alliance that will shake Westeros to its core. But as the Blacks and the Greens wage war, as betrayals and bloodshed mount, one question remains: can they outplay fate itself and seize the Iron Throne? Or will history find a way to right itself, no matter how much they fight against it? The game of dragons has begun. And this time, the board is changed.

Severus Snape had long buried the memories of his first and only best friend, Y/n. As teenagers, they had shared a bond that made life's darkness seem brighter, but their story was cut short when Y/n abruptly moved away, vanishing from his life without so much as a goodbye. The pain of her sudden absence shaped the man Severus would become: guarded, bitter, and solitary. Years later, Severus has settled into his role as the stern Potions Master at Hogwarts, convinced that love and second chances are luxuries he cannot afford. But when he encounters a familiar face roaming the castle halls, his carefully constructed world is turned upside down. Y/n is back-seeking the position of Potions Assistant-and with her return comes a flood of unanswered questions and emotions Severus thought he had buried forever. As they navigate their shared past and the complexities of their present, old wounds resurface, and a spark that once burned bright threatens to reignite. I want to say that this story is not a chronic order, the timeline is mixed up but characters are by J.K. Rowling ⚠️there is mention of abuse⚠️
