(In full on AO3, The Courage to Live by ShadowAceSeverus, now complete. Engagement on Wattpad really dropped this year, so I switched platforms!)

Upon surviving the Battle of Hogwarts, Severus Snape is at a loss. For nearly twenty years, he devoted his life to defeating the Dark Lord and protecting Harry Potter. Now, with the war over and the Boy-Who-Lived safe, he finds he has precious little left to fight for - until a chance therapy session shows him that he ought to be fighting for himself.

With the war coming to a close and Wizarding Britain starting to rebuild, Severus starts on a journey to find meaning and joy in a life that's given him little of either, discovering what it truly means to value himself and his own happiness.All Rights Reserved

Portals of the Past and the Present by Vyaska

The third Lightning War had ended; the destruction, death toll and more were in numbers that many could scarce believe. Dark Lord Voldemort had finally been defeated; at the hand of one Lord Harry James Potter. Peace was restored and their community had at last earned a reprieve. Yet, it was not to be. Harry Potter, barely twenty-two, had seen his share of horrible atrocity. He understood that not all could be righted from the moment of the war's end; yet, that had not stopped those he once cared for from trying to force him to be something or someone he wasn't. It had only caused grief that made him distant to them; and then the new war came. One he had tried hard to avert and to warn of...yet, no one heeded his pleas. No one remembered his instincts for these things, and it had cost them. Dearly. With no other options left; he left the world he knew behind and travelled back farther to the past. Doing something he never imagined himself doing. Hoping to avert the war he ended and the one after. Hoping to change the world for the better; for those who deserved it, and to ensure those who were callously lost would have a chance.

Severed Ties || Severus Snape by HogwartsDungeons

Emma Moore, professor in Healing at Hogwarts, has to suppress her feelings for her old best friend and now colleague Severus Snape, who she hasn't seen in ten years, while figuring out who killed her aunt. --------------------------------------------- Emma Moore had a good life, objectively speaking. She worked her dream-job as a Healer at St Mungo's Hospital, and had a boyfriend, Jordan, who loved her and worked at the hospital with her. But somehow, she was still not happy. She still missed the people she left behind ten years earlier. One person, in particular. But when Jordan cheats on her with another colleague, someone she considered a friend, Emma finds herself gathering her things and leaving her whole life behind her. In a spur of the moment decision, she applies for a job at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To her great delight, she's hired as a professor in Healing. Arriving at the school, she finds out that her old best friend, Severus Snape, also works there; the boy she was hopelessly in love with during the seven years they went to school together, the man she could never really get over in the ten years since she'd last seen him. Now too late to terminate her new job, she has to make the best of it. And then her aunt gets killed while on one of her auror missions and all the evidence seems to point to Severus. How well does she still know the boy she used to know like the back of her hand? How much can she still trust him? This story is set during Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts.
