"This is hands down the best Snape fanfiction I have ever read 😭❤️ Thank you sm for this story!" - @TanaBree
Asha's life makes no sense, but the more she unravels about her past, the darker and more complex things become. All these secrets and lies are beginning to take their toll, and sooner or later, she's going to have to start letting people in.
This is a story about two people who do their best to resist falling in love, but in the end, they just can't help it.
(Severus Snape X OC, 'realistic', slow burner, takes place during Harry's years at Hogwarts, young adult OC)

Snape's Inferno (Severus Snape x yn)

Always (Severus Snape x Reader)
In a post-Voldemort world, Y/N (you) is the newly appointed professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts following Professor McGonagall's promotion to headmistress. At 23, you are a talented Ravenclaw and former student of McGonagall, balancing the challenges of your new role with assisting Harry Potter in Auror training. Fifteen years after the fall of the Dark Lord, the wizarding world is slowly healing. Severus Snape, the esteemed Potions Master, continues his role with a lighter teaching load as he recovers from past trials. As he opens his heart to the possibility of love, the dynamics at Hogwarts become more complex with the presence of the enigmatic Gilderoy Lockhart and the scheming Dolores Umbridge. Amidst the backdrop of Hogwarts' recovery and the complexities of personal relationships, Y/N navigates the trials of teaching, healing, and booming romance. The story explores the delicate balance between professional responsibilities and personal connections in a world still mending from its darkest days.

Lost & Found| S Snape X Reader
Cover by @Khloeshades ⚠️ Mature Content | Heavy Themes | Reader Discretion Advised ⚠️ Seventh year at Hogwarts was supposed to be about N.E.W.T.s, house rivalries, and preparing for life beyond the castle walls. But for Y/N, it was survival. Always the quiet one, she slipped through the cracks-haunted by depression, consumed by loss, and left feeling helpless in a world that never truly saw her. That is until Professor Severus Snape did. Stoic. Feared. Unapproachable. He was the last person Y/N expected to understand her pain-let alone care. But sometimes, the most broken souls recognize each other in silence. This story explores Y/N's journey through darkness, and the unexpected connection that changed everything. It's fast-paced, emotionally intense, and doesn't always play by the Wizarding World's rules. ⚠️ Content Warning: This fanfiction contains mature and explicit content, including graphic sexual themes (BDSM, choking, etc.), self-harm, drug abuse, suicidal ideation, sexual assault, and death. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Y/N is 18+ in this story. Voldemort does not exist in this timeline, and there are no Death Eaters. The story is faster-paced And it is not completely stuck to the wizarding world. ⚠️Y/N is 18 in this story⚠️ Y/N: Your Name N/N: Nickname Y/L/N: Your Last Name H/C: Hair Color E/C: Eye Color Y/H/N: Your House Name Y/H/C: Your House Color Y/F/C: Your Favorite color # 1 - daddysnape # 2 - teacherxreader # 10 - teacherComplete
