Summary
Hermione thinks there’s something not quite right with the new defence against the dark arts professor. Something that has very little to do with his unorthodox teaching methods, nor his penchant for dark magic. No, there’s something not quite right with the sense of recognition she feels when she looks at him- recognition she can’t quite place, unnerving in a way she can’t describe.

Generally well-written but not my cup of tea; they realize their feelings for each other far too quickly. And Sirius and Snape were both a little too OOC with their creepiness. DNF

Summary
Hermione reaches out to the mysterious owner of Silverleaf Apothecary for help when she realizes a deadly, magic-stealing pandemic is upon the Wizarding world. Severus Snape disappeared from Wizarding society fourteen years ago after he'd recovered from his injuries. Now Hermione is trying to drag him back into it. He agrees to assist, but only if she quarantines at his home while they work on the project together. As they discover ways to treat the illness, Snape realizes he might not be so solitary, and Hermione gets to know the man behind her former professor.

Not as slow burn as I'd hoped but well written. Lowkey hipster Severus with the vinyls and indie music.

Summary
Thirteen years after leaving Hogwarts, Hermione Granger is Not Okay. Her relationship with Ron has crumbled. She's burnt out and quit the Auror Office. She still hasn't been able to find her parents to reverse their memory spell, and all her money has gone on a probably-repossessed house and a wedding which will never happen. Harry and Ginny would let her stay on their sofa forever, of course, but they have a new baby, and Hermione has enough trouble sleeping. So she's left with one, final, awful choice - to go to the only place she knows she can't be turned away: the house of the insufferable man whose life she saved the day Voldemort died - Severus Snape.
Snape is, shall we say, not pleased with this turn of events.
***COMPLETE!***

Bookmarker's Notes
Well written, for the first 50 ish chapters I was especially hooked by the characters and the slow burn. But the burn could have been even slower for my tastes, and the increasing political mess is interfering with my personal enjoyment of the story.
I am also struggling to get past how Hermione is often brilliant but SOMETIMES suddenly so bad at magic? Leaving her worldly possessions behind in the snow just because she's... tired and cold... is bizarrely OOC.
Left off at Ch 74. Some great writing but not sure I'm invested enough to finish.
