No Hope for the Weary by girlbookwrm

Summary
It is a sunsoaked afternoon, and he is tired all the way down to his bones. He can hear the soft scritch-scratch-scritch of Steve’s pencil on paper, and faintly, distantly, someone listening to Glenn Miller.
(This is the Soldier-Asset-Bucky’s favorite memory.)
AKA A Lullaby for Bucky Barnes. Contents: A severely traumatized brain called Ace, a highly weaponized Arm called Sweetheart, and a cyborg supersoldier in chronic need of naptime. Also, unfortunately, the plot of Captain America: Civil War.

Summary
A year after the Winter Soldier failed his mission in DC, Bucky Barnes is doing his best to stay under the radar from both Hydra and Steve Rogers. His hope for a peaceful day-to-day life in limbo goes awry, however, when he meets Queens’ newest hero; a pure-hearted kid with a death wish and a ridiculous pair of red and blue pajamas.
The last thing Steve expects when he finally tracks Bucky down is that, not only has the man been living in Queens all this time, right under his nose, but also that, in the two years since they last saw each other, Bucky somehow acquired a kid.
Alternatively: How Peter Parker effectively fucks over Bucky Barnes, and also totally saves him.

Summary
Forming a family had not been what Remus had expected from the summer, but he welcomed it with open arms.
No one can prepare for rediscovering old friends and old feelings of adoration; the lost feelings of many years ago push their way through to the surface when Sirius returns into his life.
And Remus couldn't prepare for Harry not wanting to go back to his relatives.
But he'd be damned if he wouldn't figure out a way for their new family to work.

Summary
The boy appeared as a small, crumpled figure in the cupboard, barely illuminated by the ghostly spell. His wild, unruly black hair stood out even in the dim light, and his broken glasses perched crookedly on his nose. He was painfully thin, his clothes hanging off his frame like sacks. Severus’s sharp gaze lingered on his face—too young, too frail. The boy should have been around seven but looked no older than five.
~~~
This is a story about Severus Snape discovering compassion and affection in the most unexpected place—a small, silent boy who never spoke a word but conveyed entire stories through the depth of his actions, and the emotions in his gaze. It’s a tale of two scarred souls, each carrying their own burdens, finding solace, connection, and healing in each other’s presence.This is a story that’s almost entirely fluff with angst and just a sprinkle of plot.

Harry Potter the boy who survives by Sparklingwatermelo
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
28 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
The sound of hammering fists on the door of his cupboard pulls Harry from the edges of sleep, and the piercing shrieks his aunt is directing through the grate makes him wish he had the ability to fall into an eternal slumber. “Boy! Get out here and help me make breakfast!” It never fails to surprise him how much Petunia sounds like a bird, those green and blue budgies you find in a pet shop, so sharp and shrill he fears for his eardrums. “I won’t ask Twice, boy! If you’re not out here in thirty seconds I’ll fetch Vernon!”
Harry breathes out a sigh. Petunia is one thing… Vernon is something else entirely. Threats to do with his uncle are not something to be taken lightly, the last thing Harry wants is to start his day with a black eye or broken ribs. So, he sits up on his rickety cot, careful to avoid whacking his head on the ceiling of the cupboard, and calls back as politely as he can, keeping all traces of annoyance or anger safely tucked away from his words and tone. “Coming aunt Petunia! Sorry Aunt Petunia.”
Or Harry lives with the Dursleys, finds a magical snake, and goes to Hogwarts. But this is not the Harry Potter Dumbledore expected...

Summary
It was "Witch Weekly", of all people and organizations, the first to notice and comment on The Boy Who Lived’s absence from the ranks of first years at Hogwarts. The magazine went on to elucubrate that the young hero was studying at a foreign school, possibly Beauxbatons or Holzschuhkäse.

Summary
When Lily appears to Severus through the power of the Resurrection Stone, she reveals a long-buried secret about Harry’s parentage and tasks Severus with rescuing Harry from the Dursleys.
Severus isn’t certain he’s up to this new challenge, but he’s determined to keep his promise to Lily—for the boy’s sake and maybe even for his own. After all, Potter may be just like his father, but that fact no longer seems like the divide between them it once did.
Harry, meanwhile, is baffled that Snape of all people is the one to finally take him away from the Dursleys—supposedly for good. He’s determined not to let himself hope that things might truly get better, but his time at Spinner’s End threatens his resolve. Reluctantly, he begins to trust Snape, and he starts to wonder if maybe—just this once—hope doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

Beyond the Blood Wards ~ Book 1 by SnapeIsMySpiritQuill
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
28 May 2025
Tags
Summary
It was a long shot—an impossibly long shot—but it was all he had.
Harry lunged for the photo, his bloodied nose dripping crimson onto the paper as he scrambled for something to write with. But Vernon had locked away all of Harry’s things to prevent him from contacting anyone. In desperation, Harry smeared his blood across the photo with trembling fingers, scrawling three words:
Please help me.
He signed it with a shaky, almost illegible ‘Harry’ before stumbling to Hedwig’s cage. He flung the door open and shoved the photo into her talons, his breath coming in sharp, uneven gasps. Vernon’s angry bellows grew louder as he forced the door open, splinters of wood flying into the room.
“T-take it to Professor Snape!” Harry rasped, barely able to speak through the panic and exhaustion.
Hedwig let out a distressed hoot as Harry squeezed her through the narrow bars of the window. He turned just as Vernon burst into the room, his face purple with fury, his breathing ragged.

Summary
It didn’t take long to realize that it wasn’t normal—that Harry wasn’t normal. That no one else could see the strange lights and dented auras that surrounded everyone. Harry had learned at an early age to hide it, to tell no one else about it. It worked. At least until he encountered a boy in a robe shop with the largest light he’d ever seen.
But what did it mean?
