I thought I knew my ending - Year 4
The voices intensified. I had arrived at a circular-shaped door that was slightly ajar. Snakes were engraved on it, and there was an inscription in a language I did not recognize, let alone was able to read. I gripped the sword more firmly, placed my hand against the door, and pushed it further open. Not far, just enough to see what was going on behind it. But even before I could see them, I felt the acidity rising in my throat. I braced my hand against a boulder and took a deep breath to keep it down. Why was I so incredibly nauseous? Probably because of the rotting smell of the decaying corpses, said the little voice in the back of my mind. Or because of the liquor that wanted to rise in my throat. Or maybe it was just because I already knew that I had made a huge mistake following her. Book 3 - year 4 of a series about the marauders from Lily Evans POV (well, mostly). Lily Evans gets a second change in life to change her past and therefor the future of all those around her. Unfortunately, she has forgotten what will happen to her future self. She has no idea why she has nightmares about a deer, black dog and rat or why she has all these strange memories of older versions of herself and the annoying Gryffindors she's supposed to hate. After all, being a Slytherin comes with some prejudices. This story will take place during the marauders time at Hogwarts, all seven years and a few years after, during the war. As you will notice, I made a few alterations in this story that aren't aligned with the original one, but you will soon discover it's way more interesting to change the timeline a bit and put Lucius Malfoy and Ballatrix Black in the same school as the marauders.Complete
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
The Unmarked Constellation
The bond is fate. The choice is war. Severus Snape has lived with a secret since he was eleven: James Potter, the arrogant, privileged tormentor who makes his life a misery, is his destined Soulmate. Severus has meticulously hidden the shimmering silver constellation on his skin, determined to defy a destiny he believes will only lead to further degradation. In a chaotic duel, fate forces James's hand against Severus's, and the mark flares, searing the truth onto James's own skin. James, blindsided by the revelation, trades his hostility for clumsy attempts at truce. Severus sees only a new, crueler game. He refuses the bond, hardening his heart against the boy whose past cruelty is unforgivable, no matter what magic dictates. As their worlds collide-forced together by concerned friends and suspicious parents, with allies like Lily Evans, Regulus Black, and Lucius Malfoy watching from the sidelines, James must prove his sudden allegiance is rooted in genuine respect, not compulsion. But how can Severus accept a future with the very person who defined his poverty, his pain, and his profound sense of worthlessness?

The Life He Could Have Had
Death did not take him. Not yet. When Severus Snape closes his eyes beneath the blood-stained floor of the Shrieking Shack, he expects the end. Instead, he wakes up decades earlier-in his sixteen-year-old body, memories intact, pain still raw. This time, there will be no Dark Mark. No slurs thrown in anger. No desperate chase for the love of a girl already slipping away. This time, Severus chooses something different. With a new wardrobe, a quieter heart, and a growing mastery of potion-making, he begins to carve a different life. One of dignity, of peace-and, perhaps, of love. Because when Regulus Black begins to take notice, Severus finds himself drawn to the one person who might understand what it means to walk the line between expectation and rebellion.
