    Summary

    Severus knew better than anyone how cruel fate could be. He had seen his father’s name branded on his mother’s arm and how that had been more of a curse than anything else. And he saw it again now as a thread of ink began to crawl across his arm.

    As the name formed, he saw in silent horror one of his worst nightmares being fulfilled. Fate was nothing but merciless. So cruel and infamous that it had to unite him with the person he hated most in the world.

    `James Potter`

    (or Severus hates James, James hates Severus but they are soul mates. Severus is willing to ignore that mark but James, who grew up with the idea of a perfect life with his soul mate, won't let it go.)

    Summary

    Five years after the war had ended, and in the wake of countless losses, the Ministry introduced what it called a Reformation Program. Pansy knew better, it was merely a prettier name for a repopulation scheme.

    For months, she had dismissed it as nothing more than a rumor. But when a scarlet envelope arrived at the vast Parkinson Manor, where she now lived alone, her life came to a halt. Tearing it open, she found out that her assigned match was Neville Longbottom, freshly hailed as a hero, and someone she had spent years tormenting.

    Within moments, everything turned upside down.

    They were to be married in five days.
    And the marriage had to be consummated within a week.

    Summary

    Down on his luck, Snape barely manages to acquire a job working at a small, rather run-down apothecary in the heart of Knockturn Alley after graduation. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and he finds himself working at a... maid cafe?!
    And perhaps worst of all, Sirius Black somehow tracks him down yet again, and worms his way back into his life.

    Muggle monastery life somewhere far away in the Alps is starting to look more and more appealing.

    Summary

    “Who are you and what have you done with Severus?” said McGonagall, her eyebrows almost disappearing into her hat. The query was meant as a joke, but there was a hint of legitimate doubt in it.

    “I got therapy,” Snape blurted out.

    ༻✦༺

    The year is 2025. An average guy gets hit by a car on his way home from work and dies.

    In another universe, the year is 1992. Severus Snape wakes up. He proceeds to have a panic attack.

    Yes, this is a silly, self-indulgent isekai/transmigration story starring Severus Snape (not quite a "self-insert"). Watch as he does shenanigans, has anxiety, and keeps putting everyone he knows into shock with his sudden tendency to smile. Get in everyone, we're gonna desecrate this world. Screw JKRowldemort—she deserves 0 respect for the way she uses her privilege to harm others just trying to live. Trans rights, mf.

    [[SLOW UPDATES]]
    I take a while because this is just something I do in my spare time when I'm not exhausted from working/life. Sorry! If this ever does go on hiatus for whatever reason, I'll update this description to say so, but as of now, that's not the case. I'm just a hella slow writer. ;-;

    Summary

    For years James Potter has made Severus Snape's life a living hell with no remorse. Now, after being attacked one night while out in the woods by his house, James finds himself needing the young potion prodigy's help finding a cure for his newfound sickness.
    Severus Snape is understandably hesitant at first to agree but when James says he will finally leave him alone and even help him and Lily become friends again he can't refuse.
    Can the two boys settle their issues long enough to work together to cure James? or will James struggle to control himself and ruin everything and his life in the process?
    (I will likely change and update this as it goes. I know it's probably not the greatest explanation but I tried.)
