A Difference in the Family: The Snape Chronicles
By Rannaro
We have the testimony of Harry, but witnesses can be notoriously unreliable, especially when they have only part of the story. This is a biography of Severus Snape from his birth until his death. It is canon-compatible, and it is Snape's point of view.
To Fix a Ruptured Heart

Summary:
Tobias and Eileen find themselves together again after many years, to identify their sons body. Battered and destroyed after saving a world that had detested his very existence. They wake up the next day to prepare a funeral, and instead wake up to an owl tapping on their window. The date on the letter? The 17th of October, 1976.

You're Not My Son
hbpx09
Summary:
The first thought that crossed Tobias' mind was 'that's going to scar', and then immediately after 'that's not my son'.
There was something in the way he held himself, as if he was an old man instead of a sixteen year old. But the most unsettling part were his eyes, those black orbs normally so full of rage and defiance were now dull and tired… old, as if he had lived through several decades already.
Why?
MissSparkles
Summary:
At the end of Third year, Harry is angry that his favourite teacher is leaving and decides to confront the man responsible, demanding an explanation. Except what Snapes tells him about his reasons shocks him and makes him question how things really are. Sometimes, things are not as clear as they seem. One Shot.
a mother's love
wrennette
Summary:
She had failed as a mother, and because she couldn’t stand up to her husband, her son had suffered his whole life until, now that Lily Evans Potter was gone, he thought there was no reason for his own life to continue. Well, Eileen wasn’t going to take that lying down.
Notes:
Time travel AU. WARNING: Discussion of spousal abuse, child abuse, and attempted suicide.
After the Pensieve Debacle
LittleElfynOne
Summary:
Severus Snape has something to say about being 'asked' to resume the doomed-to-failure Occlumency experiment. Actually, he might be quite verbose on the topic.
Not Sorry For Existing
DaFishi
Summary:
“ Sorry for what, Potter?” Severus asks, speaking so calmly it takes both him and Narcissa by surprise.
Even Evan looks a little put off by the sudden apology.
“Sev,” Narcissa tries to plead, a little angry that her best friend would even think of accepting such an apology but Severus shakes her off.
James looks a little confused and he chuckles awkwardly. “Sorry for being mean these past couple of years.”
“Mean?” Evan says, eyes blown wide with rage.
“And what about the physical abuse?” Severus inquires.
James balks. “Excuse me?!”
I Know Not and I Cannot Know; Yet I Live and I Love
By billowsandsmoke
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.
Ultimate Revenge
Ayolen
Summary:
After almost being eaten by a predatory animal and humiliated before half of school, Severus had enough.
He plans his departure.
Of course, in Slytherin style.
