First, a couple that have already been mentioned in this thread:
If Someone Cared Enough by Aishling aka Shain-of-Ireland | (FFN)
Ratings: M (FFN), Not Rated (AO3), personally I'd rate this one Explicit.
[spoiler title="Warnings"]Sexual Assault, Attempted Rape[/spoiler]
Status: Dormant
Author's Summary:
What if Snape had received some better guidance when he was young from people who cared enough to notice what he was going through and looked deeper than the surface? What if there had been Slytherins who weren't aspiring Death Eaters? Would their assistance be enough to help a few young and hot tempered teens?
My favorite Snily fic. It has been five years since there has been an update, but since the author has not said they are abandoning it, and I have recently seen a fic get a genuine new update after a decade, I'm calling this one "dormant".
[spoiler title=""]I truly love this fic for many reasons but the main reason is that it deals with and resolves the core cause of the deterioration of Severus and Lily's friendship: they stopped listening to each other.[/spoiler]
The Path Not Tread by BoxyP and SilenceoftheSolitude | (FFN)
Ratings: M (FFN), Explicit (AO3)
Status: Incomplete, latest interlude not yet posted on FFN
Author's Summary:
Sometimes all that's needed for enormous differences is a small change, as small as the order of a few sentences in a heated fight. Lily Evans unconsciously makes one such change while arguing with her best friend, and the magnitude of consequences her actions cause hold the potential to reshape not only herself and the people around her, but their world's very future. A What-if AU that explores the questions of how much we know ourselves, how much we're truly influenced by our surroundings and how much we do so in turn, whether unexpected consequences arising from the choices we make are our responsibility, and ultimately, whether truth is truly an objective axiom of existence, or only what we make of it.
Not abandoned, the authors are currently very busy with real life.
Now, on to the rest:
