The New Things In His Life (A Change Truly For The Better) by Otaku6337
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
(Just a winter/New Years-themed one-shot of Harry and Severus growing closer post-adoption!)Only a few minutes later, he's padding into the living area, completely unsurprised to see Snape sitting in the armchair, one of his potions manuals in his lap.
"Good morning, Harry. Just about," Snape adds on, sarcastic, but Harry knows that he isn't in trouble with that arch of the man's brow. He knows very well, by now, what it looks like when Snape is taking the mick rather than being genuinely annoyed or judgemental.
"It's the holidays," he shrugs, feeling comfortable enough to grin at the man.
"So it is." There's a faint edge of a smile at that, Snape's lips twitching up in what can only be amusement.
Something along the lines of Harry's shoulder unspools then, an elastic-strained tension lost to the assurance.

The Calm Of An Ever-More Familiar Home (Where The Hearth Is Being Kindled) by Otaku6337

Summary
(A prelude for my Hearth AU - how Harry and Severus' dynamic builds up over the first few weeks of living together, feat. Occlumency, domesticity, food, childhood trauma, and nightmares)It wasn't too bad until the unmistakeable syllables of Crucio.
Next thing Harry knows, there's blood dripping down his face, pooled into dark stains on his pillows, smeared on his hands, on Snape's hands, and it's clotting in his eyelashes too, crusting at the corner of his eye, although he thinks the tackiness he can feel on his cheeks might be tears too, actually.
Bloody hell, how fucking embarrassing.
"Glad you're awake, Potter."
~~~
(Part of Harry believes, deep-down, where his truest, ugliest, most hopeful thoughts cower away, that Snape is genuine in his care, and earnest in his want for Harry to be okay. That he could trust the man with what he already has and more, and still be treated the same.
He won't dare to give into that, not based off of less than a single summer at least, particularly not after the last four years and what little he knows of the war surely coming, but still. The thought of it lingers, in his quietest moments.)

Summary
There is no Boy-Who-Lived; Albus Dumbledore defeated Voldemort and destroyed his Horcruxes. Harry grows up as an ordinary boy—a very ordinary boy, with barely more magic than a Squib. He sets out to prove himself, but in private, because he doesn’t want to see the disappointment in everyone’s eyes if he fails. And that leads him to a very strange relationship, mediated by stubbornness on both sides, with Severus Snape.
