After Ginny Potter dies suddenly, Severus Snape is among those called in to help Potter juggle his new reality.
As the other helpers fade away, a desperate and penniless Severus agrees to become the regular caregiver to Potter's three young children.
But Severus finds that the Potter household is not the sunshine and roses he'd imagined.
So many good ones out there, but it has to be this one! Deliciously angsty. A kidfic (which I'm a sucker for). Best of all is how imperfect Harry is in this story. So often I read about a soft and impossibly good Harry, so it's good to see him as a bit of a mess and a workaholic, and his own flaws being showcased just as much as Severus'. I'm obsessed with it!

A strange curse leaves Harry as the only one able to understand Snape, but Harry has no desire to hear anything Snape has to say to him.

I love a fic that plays with Parseltongue, and I love how bitter Harry is here and a Harry who doesn't do the "right thing" right away. He's not Mr. Perfect or Mr. Goody-Goody, and I love him for it.
Hi, I'm writing to say that I'm really enjoying 'Date in a dash'. Harry/Severus my beloved couple and this plot, from hate to love, that's really awesome.I would like to translate it into ukrainian language to help people, who don't know English read this story. Of course I will leave link to the original work and note that this is only a translation. Are you okay with it?
Sorry it took so long for me to answer this! It’s been a while since I logged in. I hope you still see it. I am absolutely okay with a translation! Thank you for asking!
there really are no consequences for being wrong about your gender, orientation, etc. for a while, btw. if you try something and it just doesn't fit, it's better to have tried and found out than to be left wondering.
If you haven't noticed, I've been on a bit of a Canva-craze, making all sortsa images to accompany my self recs!
For my own, I've sorta moved away from a proper banner shape...I've been using the "Instagram post" size for...you know...Instagram. And I don't feel like making 2 versions of stuff...anyway, not the point.
THE POINT IS, I was having so much fun I ventured into throwing images together for fics I love! And it seems a shame to not show them off, so what better way than another rec list??

"You're disgusting," Potter quietly bit out.
It was an insult, so why did that mouth-watering heat race downward like he'd been called brilliant and wonderful and all things nice?
"And what does that make of you, I wonder?"
A tale of hero worship and failing to pretend.

Divorced, single, and free, Harry lives a completely unapologetic life in Paris. Between casual hook-ups and an easy, comfortable job, he likes to think he is as close to happiness as he'll ever be. And when he gets offered a teaching job at the prestigious Académie Beauxbâtons, he thinks he may have found exactly what was missing. But Harry is thoroughly unprepared for what he finds there - a familiar face that's been haunting his dreams for six years.

Instead of sparks of joy, this Christmas brings nothing but hot flashes of anger for both Severus and Harry. Seven and a half years of pent-up hatred seems to come to a boil, but the explosion doesn’t quiet happen as they expected.

After surviving the Battle of Hogwarts, a long convalescence, and a short trial, Snape walks free and promptly vanishes from Wizarding society. Six years pass before he shows his face again. A lot can change in six years, and a romantically disillusioned and inebriated Harry hits Snape up for a friends-with-benefits arrangement. After all, they share an experience most people have never had: they both know what it's like to be dead. Their liaison works surprisingly well until Harry's reckless behaviour as an Auror leads to unethical practices and personal calamities, and things start to fall apart.

Potter, in a fit of being his usual hazardous self, goes about things in all the wrong ways. Of course it falls to Severus to fix the mess. It goes not at all as expected.

Ever since the horcrux in his head is gone, Legilimency comes easy to Harry. It’s nearly laughable how easy it is, considering how much he used to struggle with it back in his fifth year. But he reckons half of that had been Snape’s fault anyway. Who on earth would enjoy the nasty git invading their mind?
But as life as Harry has known it changes, Harry’s opinion on the matter changes with it ― rather drastically so if he’s being perfectly honest.

After the war, the last thing Severus Snape needs is the memory of a fleeting wartime kiss and a very persistent Harry Potter thwarting his plans to live a peaceful and solitary life. It’s only when Harry’s life is endangered that Severus is finally forced to confront his feelings head on.

Harry Potter returned to Hogwarts after the war to finish his schooling, with the blessing of Kingsley Shacklebolt and the promise of a job as an Auror. All he wanted was an easy year without any complications. He didn't count on Draco Malfoy barging into his life and knocking everything sideways. When Harry and Draco are forced apart, Harry must learn how to carry on living and loving. A surprise discovery that Severus Snape is alive and well presents Harry with an unexpected opportunity for a fresh start. When two loves collide Harry faces the toughest decision of his life. A story about love, growing up and how, when it comes to matters of the heart, nothing is ever simple.
I love this scene. Stede is free, he is confident, he’s in love. He knows what he wants and he’s going to go get it. This is not the same man Ed kissed on the beach.
Sometimes you're gonna see a really stupid post and you're gonna have to keep your mouth shut online but you can always say "Shut the fuck up dumb fuck" out loud, they can't hear you when you do that.
i love that specific ao3 phenomenon where you get a sudden influx of kudos on a work and it’s clear someone shared your fic but you have no idea who they are or where they shared it. it’s like being a dickensian orphan receiving money from a mysterious benefactor.
i think we as a society need to start accepting that fictional love stories need to be a bit toxic for us to go insane over them… like, sometimes you kinda need the two parties to be obsessed with each other and fucked up and willing to bring each other back from the dead instead of moving on and go to therapy i’m sorry😔
It’s still so strange to me how apparently taboo it is to like a post on someone’s Instagram from a month ago when there are posts still circulating on Tumblr from 1550 BCE
