    Summary

    "And even though it all went wrong/I'll stand before the Lord of Song/With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah…"

    For Severus Snape, playing music held as just much enchantment as performing actual magic. But how and why did he learn to play the piano? A life told through song as a homage to the genius of Leonard Cohen and Alan Rickman.

    Written as part of the 2017 Snapecase Fest on LJ.

    Summary

    Severus Snape has his emotions in check. He knows that he experiences anger and self-loathing and a bitter yearning, and that he rarely deviates from that spectrum… Until the first-year Luna Lovegood arrives to his class wearing a wreath of baby’s breath. Over the next six years, an odd friendship grows between the two, and Snape is not sure how he feels about any of it.

    Summary

    A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.

     

    The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. The same question arises in every soul: "For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?"

     

    ...Or, a classic approach to stubbornness.

    Summary

    There was a sort of cruel irony to obtaining such immortality without meaning to, especially in order to kill Voldemort with his flight from death fantasies and all. Although Harry didn't think that he would find out like this. Or somehow be teleported to alone and dying strangers. - A brief depiction of Harry Potter as SCP-4999. (No SCP knowledge needed to read/enjoy)
