His own legal status in the wizarding world now more or less resolved, Snape returns home to wrestle with his inner demons. Assuming, of course, that the outside world and his neighbors will leave him in peace. A continuation of Elementary, My Dear Potter: Part 1.

This story is AU. What would have happened if Voldemort had understood that defeat, not death, conferred mastery of the Elder Wand and did not kill Snape? And what of all the stray Death Eaters that JKR forgot to mention? Like Bella Lestrange's husband?

Not satisfied with "Deathly Hallows?" This alternate version of Book Seven was written at the same time that JKR was writing DH, but has a different take on the story and contains an account of Snape's most unique Halloween celebration.

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.

Between Voldymort's attack in Godric's Hollow and baby Harry's arrival at the home of the Dursleys, there was a gap of around thirty hours. Why did it take so long? What was happening during that time?

When you are by several decades the youngest professor at Hogwarts and have, in addition, one foot in the muggle world, it is only natural that the Headmaster would turn to you for certain 'tasks' he would not trust to others. Just for fun.

Thrust into a world of calm and peace, Snape begins to fall apart – literally – and Harry and Hagrid, with the help of some new neighbors, have to figure out why.

When Hermione conjured her flask in the Shrieking Shack to hold Snape's memory strands, what exactly did she capture? Harry is not certain at first, but he is determined to preserve it.

This story originally started as therapy for writer's block in Fall 2005. Think of it as a pre-DH Book 7. It has no hidden message or recognizable theme, and anyone who claims to be able to locate an actual plot in it is living in a fantasy world.
