Black as Snow
9.5/10 (8 Ratings, 0 Likes, 10 Favorites )Bellatrix and Tom Riddle--two of the most enigmatic characters in Harry Potter--have puzzled writers and readers alike since their equally horrifying introductions. Why did Bellatrix believe she was Lord Voldemort's most dedicated and favored follower? Why did the Dark Lord indulge a woman whom he could have squashed like an insignificant bug; why did he allow her to continue in her 'delusions,' if, indeed, they were delusions?
I believe that these allowances are not simply coincidences. Why should the most feared dark wizard of all time cater to a pawn? There must have been prior connections between the two to create this bond.
In "Black as Snow," we glimpse a snippet of Tom Riddle's life at Hogwarts, his (hypothetical) introduction to Bellatrix, and, afterwards, the special bond the witch and wizard shared ... then, and now.
Created for the wonderful rita_skeeter in MNFF's Ravenclaw Christmas Exchange, 2006.

A Different Kind of Love Story
by fizzabella
6.63/10 (230 Ratings, 0 Likes, 57 Favorites )Deathly Hallows Prompts 6 and 8.
6. The kids leave after Snape dies. He sits up and realizes he is a ghost. (I changed this to a portrait instead of a ghost.)
8. As Hermione, Ron, and Harry watch Snape die, Hermione is devastated because she has been secretly in love with him. (The prompt calls for Hermione to use a Time-Turner to go back and rescue Severus, but I wanted to comply with the book and see if I could write a story where Hermione develops a strong, loving friendship with the Severus Snape she meets as a portrait many years later.)
Time: After the Epilogue. Place: Hogwarts. Hermione is teaching at Hogwarts and is Deputy Headmistress to Minerva McGonagall. Her children, Rose and Hugo, live at Hogwarts with her; her husband Ron manages the All-England Quidditch League. When Minerva McGonagall dies, Hermione is appointed Headmistress and moves in to the Head’s office.

To Be or Not to Be
by _Levicorpus_
7.57/10 (37 Ratings, 0 Likes, 0 Favorites )The ruins of Hogwarts were bathed in the scant light of a crescent moon. And gliding through the darkness below was the imprint of a lost hero. The spirit flexed its growing permanence, feeling the unnerving sensation of swallowing boulders with its newfound form. It, or rather he—he had been a ‘he’ at one point—moved through the dewy, body-strewn grass tense with the memory of the extraordinary choice he’d been given.

Exanimus Virtutis: A Hero’s Goodbye
by LadyTuesday
7.64/10 (39 Ratings, 0 Likes, 14 Favorites )"It seemed as if in the end the only things Severus Snape had been able to retain were his life and his dignity, and even those had been stripped from him roughly in his last moments. He hadn’t even been given a glorious champion’s death for his troubles. She’d never get through this if she kept dwelling on that sort of thought, and she refused to leave the poor man as he was. She was going to clean him up, seal up his wounds and take him back to Hogwarts; back to his home. After all he’d done, he deserved that much. They owed him that much."

Hermione's Portrait
by Pearle
6.33/10 (12 Ratings, 0 Likes, 6 Favorites )Sometimes even the afterlife can offer things that would have never have been possible in reality. At least now Severus might have a chance at happiness he never had when he was alive.
Warning: There is a main character death as suggested by the title. Unfortunately, it is necessary to bring the story to its conclusion.
Note: This story is inspired by a story by beaweasley2, “Painted Domain.” The story can be found on this archive and is a very entertaining read. I highly suggest you check that story and her other work out. My mind turned to what ifs after reading her story. What does a portrait feel? What would happen if Severus and Hermione had reached an accord of some type and something happened to Hermione? What then? Hermione's Portrait attempts to answer those questions. Enjoy!

Serious Power to Corrupt

7.5/10 (4 Ratings, 0 Likes, 0 Favorites )Severus is on a mission to get the Marauders expelled, only to be set upon by a motley group of animals. Only one, a huge black dog, finds him hiding in the Forbidden Forest and teaches him a lesson he’ll never forget. No happy endings here. Dark/disturbing/triggery—please pay attention to the warnings.
Content Notes/Warnings: Noncon/rape, bestiality, fitting into canon
Written for Livejournal HP_Kinkfest, prompt #456, submitted by serpenscript, optional supplementary prompt: Sometimes the thing to fear is not the thing that goes bump in the night, but the thing that goes hump in the night... Forced to run an errand at night, Severus runs into someone he'd rather not, and they're not about to let him go without a little fun first. If Snape is a virgin & straight, it would be especially delicious. As dark as you care to go, but no death please? Canine knotting is a deliciously perverse thing. :3
