FF


The Marauders have more enemies than just Severus Snape, who's rotten luck is about to change. His friendship with Lily will continue past fifth year.



This is a story not for the faint of heart. The word count will blow you away before you even get to the good part, the writing.
Lily is very immature, and almost disturbing in her careless ways. On the other hand, Snape's infatuation with her -  strong, then waning with his own fortunes shifting - is fiery and very in character. He is deeply flawed in his scheming ways, and certainly dark(ish).
And if you like the Marauders, stay away.

Severus makes his way into the world.

The only criticism I can bring up is the end. It just lacks a sort of... closure.

This jumble of emotions could be called love. I never expected it to be this cruel or complicated or humiliating. Love that’s not… convenient.

FF

Snape and James re-meet in very different circumstances. And this leads to a severe crisis for both of them.

Love triangle, well, but not the way you'd think.

What is it that draws James to Severus? A disease? A curse? A secret wish... a need? Try as he might to ignore the Slytherin, in the end, to Severus is where James always finds himself.



FF

Difficult pairing, but the story makes it (half-way) plausible. But the relationship is complex, too, not only the pairing itself. Well-written.

Four Weeks in April

When Snape teaches Harry to block his mind with Occlumency, Snape stumbles upon some memories not even Harry could remember. What did Harry block out and why?


At FF


A different approach to the damage Azkaban did to Sirius; tragic circumstances, two words summing up this oneshot.

Scars

Title: Scars
Author: Isis
Fandom: Harry Potter

Length: Short

Harry and Remus become closer through shared concern over Sirius, who refuses to transform back from his animagus dog form.

Scars


Scars was the first Remus/Harry FF I ever read. Not my usual couple but Isis managed to really sell it to me.  But it's not the pairing that stands out most: it's Sirius' characterization. Why stay a dog? Well, it's much simpler to deal with stress in animal form. But is it healthy?
