(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

Easier Than Trying - A Harry Potter (Drarry) Fanfic by PotterAnonymous

"Well, I did think of Voldemort, but then... I thought of the Dementors.." Remus sighed gently, a small smile plastered on his face. "Well, Harry, that's a good choice. What you fear, is fear itself." Harry gulped nervously. "W-Well.. I thought of something else..." ____________________ TRIGGER WARNING This story contains sensitive material that some readers may find makes them uncomfortable! Read at your own risk! ____________________ This is the story of the Boy Who Lived. He trusted, fell in love, fought, and won. How dramatic can I make this story? Let's find out. ;) ____________________ Depressed!Harry I will NOT make him suicidal. It makes me uncomfortable, and I'm sure it makes others uncomfortable as well. Abused!Harry In this story, Harry will be abused! In a lot of fanfics, the abuse scenes always play out weird, but I'll try my best to make them, well, not weird... OOC!Draco Draco will be in character in the beginning of the story, but the more he learns about Harry, he will start to get a little out of character compared to the actual story! SHIPS/LABELS: Drarry! Harry and Draco WILL end up in a relationship! If this is not your cup of tea, please leave! (There's a nice little back button in the top left corner reserved just for you ;) ) Severitus! Snape will be fatherly and protective of Harry later on! This is NOT Snarry! Severus and Harry are NOT in a romantic relationship! Childish!Harry! I feel that, since Harry hasn't had a proper childhood where he could run around and have fun, he'd be pretty childish. This means curling up with Severus (Hinting Severitus here) in front of the fireplace, making rash and stupid decisions without thinking, etc. Basically acting like a child would. WARNINGS: HOMOSEXUALITY! There will be two boys in a relationship here! If this is not your cup of tea, please leave now! ABUSE!!! Please please please, if you are easily triggered by physical abuse, do NOT read this story! Otherwise... Enjoy!!

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.
