One summer night Severus Snape dreamed the dreams of the damned. He dreamed of Harry Potter. What Snape sees makes him question everything he thought he knew about the Savior of the Wizarding World. But the question is can he keep the Boy Who Lived alive? And what happens if he does?
Don't worry, this more of a Snape-adopts-Harry type fic instead of a Snape-and-Harry-get-together fic.

Won't Let Anyone

The Seven Lives of Lily Potter
Severus often wondered why he had survived Nagini's bite. He had imagined no future for himself beyond Voldemort's death, had laid no plans, had made no Will, had left behind no one to mourn him, and yet he endured. He had done things with his life since to justify its continuation, certainly - but none of it mattered. None of it had meant anything. He had only been filling the years until now. This moment. He had failed Lily Evans and he had all but sent her son to his death like a pig to the slaughter when he had sworn to protect him. But he could save Lily Luna Potter. Twenty years after unexpectedly surviving the War, Severus Snape finds himself once again embroiled with the Potters when young Lily Luna dies - then dies, and dies, and dies again.Complete

True Love Ways
Severus missed his friend when she left Hogwarts some six year ago. He'd tried to push his feelings for her to the back of his mind but when she returned his world stood still. Would his feelings be reciprocated? This is my first FanFic. I'm an avid Alan Rickman Fan and absolutely adore Severus Snape. SS/HG has always been my favourite ship. I don't own any of these characters (worst luck). Further, my milkshake does not bring any boys to my yard. Fact.Complete
The Ghost and the Girl
The world believes Severus Snape died the night Voldemort fell. His name has become legend-half monster, half martyr, with no body left to bury.

Poisoned, broken, and bitter, he wants only to fade into the shadows. Yet she cannot leave him behind. Hiding him means treason. Saving him means risking everything. Loving him may cost her very soul. In a world celebrating victory, their bond grows in secret-two haunted souls bound by whispers, candlelight, and the forbidden ache of a love that should never exist. The world thinks he is a ghost. For her, he becomes the only thing that feels alive. A gothic forbidden romance set in the aftermath of war, where life and death are not as simple as they seem.Complete

Unwanted Memories
AU fifth year. What if, in their Occlumency lessons, Professor Snape saw some memories that Harry didn't want anyone to see? Rated T for abuse, mild language, and mentions of non-consensual sexual contact. OOC Snape, since he's kind to Harry, and a bit OOC Harry, he's a lot more mature in this story than he is in the books. This fic is very sappy, and involves a lot of emotions and crying, so if you do not like those kind of fics, this won't be your kind of story.Complete
