Title: The Overlooked

Length. Novel
Status: Completed
Snape discovers the existence of a magically gifted young woman who never received an invitation to Hogwarts. But as the final confrontation with Voldemort approaches, can Snape protect her from those around her...including himself?
FF
Another OFC story. Can't believe it. Well, the story deserves the rec. It highlights how Snape is torn between making a life for himself and the war effort. I thought the end was a bit depressing. He never got to know his son. I'd have loved it if the end diverged from canon.

Snape's Worst Memory
Title: Snape's Worst Memory
Author: Darkglare
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters:Snape/Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, Dumbledore, Regulus
Warning: R, School, war, illness (Snape, Lily), alcohol abuse (Eileen), character death (OC Helen, Peter, Mr Evans, Eileen, Tobias), eating disorder (Snape), het, werewolf injury (Lily),pregnancy
Length: Novel
Status: Completed
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.

Sometimes all it takes to change the world is one small, simple choice. On the night the Death Eaters attack Hogwarts, Hermione Granger makes such a choice. Her life—and her world—will never be the same.
The guilt from killing Draco is bad enough, and knowing she saved Dumbledore doesn’t help it, but when a Ministry decree forces her to marry Professor Snape—a cruel, cold man who’s apparently hated her since she was a child—in order to be used as a breeder of superior wizards, Hermione doesn’t think her life can get any worse. But, of course, she’s wrong.
Soon, Voldemort’s after her and her friends (again), her life is in grave peril, and all her hopes for a future at all, much less a happy one, rest on her own shoulders—and on Snape, her unwanted husband, whose heart still belongs to a woman long dead.

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.
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.

In her heart, Nymphadora Tonks knows that Remus Lupin is the only man for her. Then why can’t she get Severus Snape out of her head?
A rare pairing, indeed. Not only this is one of the fine points why one should read it, but also because Snape is shown from his best, worst, kindest, meanest side.

Snape hated his life. Not only had he been denied the DADA position for the 16th time in a row, but he was risking his very life spying for the Order without any recognition from his peers. They were all such a bunch of ungrateful illiterates..
Well-written OC story. And I quite enjoyed it, even though I am by nature wary of OCs. Here, the relationship between the teachers is at the center of the story, as well as Snape's war effort.

When an unmarried Lily Evans joins the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore gives her a simple mission: meet with the Death Eater Severus Snape and tell him what she's done.

Beautiful story in which Snape "got" the girl. A few years later, but he did. Lily is independent and head-strong. They fit together very nicely. I quite enjoyed their dynamic.

‘Are you in the habit of inviting queer men back to your flat, John?’ he murmured, his eyes half-lidded as he stared at John again.
John huffed a breath through his nose. ‘None quite so peculiar as you,’ he said after a long pause, lifting his eyes to Sherlock’s.
October, 1937. A chance encounter late one night leads to Sherlock following John home. I can’t really put it much better than Vera Lynn herself: That certain night, the night we met / there was magic abroad in the air.
Frantic relationship in a very gloomy setting. The narrative is beautifully done, it makes you feel the pressure of the war.
Spans from 1937 to the beginning of 1945 (exception: one story set in 1951).

After the war, it's Harry's own choices that place him in unimaginable circumstances.
At AO3
One of my favorite dark stories set after the actual war against Voldemort. It is rather realistic in some ways, in others a sound alternative but not really likely. This story is almost like a meta fic - it picks up several dark fic elements but doesn't revolve around them, it merely hints at them, such as Stockholm Syndrome. I recognize several psychological complexities in there, and unlike other authors, RaeWhit doesn't force it on you. They are there for the audience to see and think about, but do not become some sort of psychological thesis. This closely reminds me of Chrysalis. While Chrysalis lacks the dark mood, it also deals with several psychological aspects which are explored in a subtle manner.

I love this one. It focuses on Snape's insecurities and that even though he tries to keep people out so much, he cares and is willing to let somebody get near him. This tangled mess of emotions, war-related topics and the stark contrast of those lovers... I just love it.
In this pairing category, definitely a classic.
