It was past midnight, and the rundown house on Spinners End, tucked in between equally run down houses, was cloaked in near darkness. The only source of light came from the glow of a lamp in the living room, turned down low and set on the end table next to the couch. You and Severus were laying on the couch under a blanket, arms around each other and your leg hitched over his hip. Severus watched your eyes drifted closed as you fell asleep in his arms. His heart clenched, as it always did, at the love and warmth he felt when you were near. He wondered if he would ever truly get used to feeling this way. To him, the warmth of your love was like spring sunlight touching winter snow, thawing and soothing every ache in his heart and soul. He wanted to know that feeling forever. You and he had been each other's shelter and happiness for the last three years. With you, he'd started thinking of a hopeful future. Something he hadn't done since he was eleven, and his hope had been cruelly crushed. For the longest time, he'd waited for the same to happen with you. Would someone or something take you from him too? But nothing had. You had stayed by his side, protected him as he protected you. And something broken inside him started knitting itself back together.
Somewhere in the distance, there was the sound of shattering glass and the muffled wail of a siren. This was far from a good town, but it was the only place you had to live at the moment. The house was newly warded though and you were both safe inside. Yesterday, you had both graduated. That same day, you packed your belongings, walked hand in hand to the edge of the Hogwarts grounds, and apparated away. Most of today had been spent cleaning and repairing the house that had stood empty for almost a year. There was much that still needed to be done. Figuring out what to do next, finding work. But that could all wait for now. Right now, Severus just let himself be in this moment, with you safely tucked up in his arms. With you, he was home.
Teen Severus Snape x Teen Reader
Reader comes from a bad home situation and goes to find Severus at Hogwarts during break.
(Just a quick one-shot. I was in need of come soft comfort)
It was Christmas break and the school was nearly empty. Sev was the only Slytherin staying over this time and he was making use of the peace to catch up on his studying and research. He was in the empty Great Hall one afternoon, a stack of books on the table beside him as he read. The sound of the large doors opening jolted him from his concentration and he looked up to see who it was.
When he saw you, snow caked and windblown, dragging your trunk behind you, he jumped up and ran to you. "What are you doing here?" He asked, taking in your bedraggled appearance, "Are you alright." "They kicked me out" you stated flatly, biting the inside of your cheek to keep tears from rising into your already sore eyes. Sev said nothing, just nodded his head once in understanding. He knew the troubles you had at home and new not to push. You would talk about it if and when you were ready. Sev wrapped his arm around your shoulders and lead you to his place at the table. As he helped you off with your snow crusted cloak, he asked, "How did you even get here?" "I hitch hiked to London, then floo'd from the Leaky Cauldron to Hogsmeade." you explained. Sev held you close against his side as you sat on the bench next to him, rubbing your arms briskly to warm you. "You're half frozen. Have you eaten anything?" You shook your head, leaning against Sev for warmth. Sev knocked on the table twice and a house elf, Winnie, popped up next to them. "You call me, Mr Snape?" "Winnie, could you bring us a plate of food, please, and some hot cocoa?" Winnie looked at you with concern in her big eyes before smiling softly at you both, "Coming right up!" she said before disappearing.
A moment later, a tray of soup, sandwiches and hot cocoa for two appeared on the table in front of you. Sev slid a soup bowl closer to you, "Eat, it'll warm you and you'll feel better. What would you like to do after we eat? A bath, a nap?" You took a few spoons of the soup before reaching for your cocoa mug, "Cuddle in front of the fireplace?" you asked, softly, holding the mug in both hands to warm them. "Of course we can."
A few hours later, you were curled up together on a couch in your common room. You were fast asleep with your head on his chest. He kept his arms wrapped firmly around you. A few more months, he thought, then you'd both be finished with school. Then you could leave together, and he would always keep you safe.

Severus Snape x Reader
Severus was left comatose by Nagini's attack. You've been by his side ever since. Holding out hope he would come back to you.
(We've been drowning in fluff. Here's a touch of angst for day 19 of @deepperplexity 's Rickmas 2023.
It had been eight months. Eight months since you’d found Severus’s body in the boathouse, since you had found the faintest traces of life still clinging to him. Eight months since the healers at St Mungo’s had declared that he was in a deep coma, from which they couldn’t wake him. You had visited him every day, many times falling asleep in the chair by his bed in the middle of the night. The healers had long since become used to your presence. They didn’t ask you to leave anymore when visiting hours were over. Those times when you were away from his side, you were helping Harry to clear his name. It had not been easy. While few were willing to argue with the young hero of the Wizarding world, making them truly believe that Severus Snape was truly a hero took some pushing. But you had done it.
December 19th. Over eight months. The hour was late, and you were by his bedside as always. You had put some holly garlands up around the room. It was believed that holly offered protection against dark magic. You had even whispered to the holly as you set some on the table by his bed, “Please bring him back to me.”
You were sat in a char besides his bed, as you were every night, reading out loud from another book. You knew Severus had a secret liking for muggle classics, it was something you shared. You heard the door open quietly and turned to see Zelah, one of the healers, enter the room with a cup in her hands. “Thought you could benefit from some tea, dear.” She said, setting the cup on the bedside table. You smiled, tiredly, and thanked her. You and Zelah had built a friendship over the months, “How are you fairing?” She asked. “I don’t know.” You answered, rubbing at your tired eyes, “I’m scared.” You couldn’t voice your deepest fears, that he wouldn’t ever wake up, saying that out loud felt like manifesting it into existence. Just the thought of it made your insides churn and heart ache with pain so sharp you wanted to scream. Zelah put her hand on your shoulder, “You have to hold onto hope. We still don’t know how he survived. Something’s keeping him holding onto life. You can’t loose hope. I know he can feel you here and something tells me it’s helping.” She gave your shoulder a squeeze, “I have to do my rounds. I’ll check in later.” “Thank you, Zelah.”
After she left, you put the book down, eyes too tired to read anymore. Leaning forward, you took Severus’s hand in yours, pressing a kiss to his fingers before settling your joined hands back on the bed. “I will never give up on you, Severus.” You said, your voice cracking with gathering tears, “And you have fought so hard. But I need you to win one more fight. I need you to wake up. I need you to come back to me. We’re finally free, Sev. We can make a life now, we can go home. And I’m not going home without you. So you have to wake up.” Tears were slipping down your face. Things would not end like this. Not after everything he’d been through, after everything you’d been through together. You laid your head down next to his hand, your eyes drooping. Almost asleep when you felt it. Severus’s fingers tightening around yours.

Hope who reads this enjoys it! I have some nice fluff and comfort due for Severus tomorrow, but I had to do this one.
Day 16 of @deepperplexity 's Rickmas prompts
Severus Snape x Reader
A couple days late this one, but life and work happened. Back on schedule now and time for some Professor Snape love.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
December at Hogwarts was a delightfully peaceful time. School was out for the holidays, only a handful of students were staying over Christmas and they had been content to entertain themselves around the castle. Severus was using the time to catch up on some personal research projects, as well as restocking the school’s medical supplies. The common cold had been making its rounds of the school towards the end of term, depleting Poppy’s supply of pepper-up potion. He set a cauldron aside over a low flame. It would need to simmer untouched for a day before he moved onto the next step. He stretched his tight shoulders, realising he’s spent most of the day inside his lab, and headed to the kitchenette in his chambers for some tea. As he waited for the water to boil, his eyes were drawn to main room of his chambers. The living area was decorated with holly and pine garlands, a Christmas tree stood in one corner, decorated with shining ornaments. White Christmas candles dotted the room around the garlands. It gave the room a warm and cozy feel to it. Once, he wouldn’t have bothered with trivialities like Christmas decorations. That was before you’d joined the staff of the school. Before that stubborn, beautiful energy of yours had chipped away at his emotional walls and wrapped around his heart. You’d brought softness and simple joy into his life, pulling him bit by bit out of his shell. He still had his reputation as the fierce bat of the potions class, but with you he had started to enjoy the life he lived in a way he never could before. Which included you decorating your now shared living space with holiday cheer. His eyes were drawn to the tree again. Some of the ornaments were older, reused since your childhood or collected along the years. Some were new, Severus had bought some of them, not having any childhood trinkets of his own to add but learning how to build something new with you.
He was snapped out of his musings by the stove top kettle boiling and he was finishing making his tea when the main door opened, and you hurried inside. Severus looked up and just blinked a few times at the sight of you. You were bundled up in a wool hat, scarf and gloves…and his black winter coat. The overcoat, which was already wide in the shoulders and long on him, absolutely swamped your smaller form, reaching down to the floor and the sleeves falling past your hands. You set a basket by your feet and after you tugged your hat and scarf off you noticed Severus watching you. Smiling, you headed across the room towards him. Severus couldn’t contain his rumbling chuckle and his dark eyes were sparkling with humour. “What are you laughing at?” You asked s you reached him. “Just the sight of you in my coat. Looks like it’s trying to eat you.” He answered, still smirking. He couldn’t help it, you looked adorable. You huffed, “Gotta do something to keep warm out there, it’s bloody freezing now. It was this or there’d be a human shaped ice sculpture on the road to Hogsmeade.” Severus pulled you in towards him, deftly undoing the buttons on the coat and slipping his arms under it and around your waist. “We can’t have you freezing, can we.” He said, “Now, what can be done to keep you warm now you’re home?” You grinned up at him and snuggled in closer to his chest, “I can think of a few ways.” You leaned up, brushing his warm lips with your cool ones. Severus’s life had changed so much since you’d entered it. And he was grateful for every moment.

Reader is trying not to freeze in this and I'm writing it on a 37-degree day (98 Fahrenheit) Ahh the southern hemisphere.
For @add-a-bit-of-neurospice <3 Took some editing time to get the story line right. AU, Severus and reader are childhood friends turned sweethearts. Sev doesn't become a death eater and he and reader leave Hogwarts together after graduation. Reader's dirtbag father is being troublesome. Tried to kept the details pretty neutral for the individuality of the reader. Title is from "Not while I'm around" by Stephen Sondheim.
}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{
You and Severus had walked away from everything the day after graduation. You'd known each other since you were nine. Inseparable friends, first in Cokeworth, then Hogwarts. You were each other's confidant and protector, you told each other things no one else knew. And you both knew exactly why neither of you wanted to set foot in your childhood homes ever again. You'd found a cheap place to live and some work. And somewhere along the way of finding your own place in the world, you and Severus had realised how much you loved each other.
Unfortunately, walking out on your old life hadn't been as easy as you'd hoped. You didn't know how your father had found your new address. But seemingly out of nowhere he had. First it had been phone calls, which lead to you unplugging the phone from the wall. Then the letters. All of which you tore up and burned without reading. You didn't care what he had to say. It would just be the same manipulative, gaslighting spew it had always been. Your breaking point was when you'd gone to the shops one day and he'd found you there. Trying to push you into talking to him, saying that you couldn't just ignore family. You felt ice in your veins and sick to your stomach. Without a word, you pushed past him and almost ran home.
When you reached your flat, you shut the door hard and locked it before leaning your weight against the wood. The sound of the door slamming drew Severus's attention away from his writing and he hurried towards you, concerned at the state you were in. "Y/n? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" He asked, softly. His hands tracing your face and arms, checking for signs of harm. You collapsed against his chest, tears finally falling and he wrapped his arms around you, half holding you up as he lead you to the small couch. "What happened, Love? Tell me." You stayed curled up in his arms with your head against his chest while you cried and told him about your father cornering you in the store. He stayed quiet till you'd finished and kissed the top of your head, "It's alright, my love. You're safe now. I won't let him near you again. I promise. And we'll be leaving here soon, remember?" You started to smile a bit at the reminder. Severus had secured a job at the Apothecary in Diagon Ally, you were moving to London soon. Hopefully far enough to finally be free of your old life.
The two of you stayed cuddled up on the couch for a while longer, before a knocking at the door startled you both. Giving you a reassuring squeeze before getting up, Sev went to the door and checked through the peephole. As he suspected, it was your father. Sev looked back to you, "Wait there, I'll handle this." he said before opening the door and walking out, shutting it behind him and keeping your father hidden from your view.
The man looked at Severus with distain, "Who the hell are you? I'm looking for my kid." Severus fixed the man with an icy glare and said coldly, "I believe y/n has already made their opinion of you clear. Leave, now." "I'm their father, you can't keep me away." The man spluttered. "A poor excuse for one. Y/n does not want to see you. Now leave, before you find yourself turned into something unpleasant and washed down a storm drain." Knowing he didn't stand a chance against Severus's magic, your father had no choice but to relent and headed down the corridor. Still fuming but intimidated by Severus's cold black glare and the threat aimed his way.
Severus went back inside the flat, locking the door behind him and casting a protection seal on the lock just in case. His heart ached when he saw you, curled up in a ball on the couch with tears silently sliding down your face. He gently freed your arms from your folded up position and pulled you up into a tight hug, "I've got you. He's gone, he won't be getting near you. And we'll be far away from here soon." You pressed your face against the crook of his neck, feeling your stress slowly start to ebb away. You'd always felt safe with him, ever since you were a child. Things would work out right eventually, and as long as Severus was there, the ghosts of the past couldn't reach you again.
(Quick warning for mentions of child abuse in this ask)
I fully understand if this topic just isn’t something you can comfortably write for, but if you can could you please do something for Severus x s/o who cut their parents off as a teenager because of abuse? My dad has STILL been trying to contact me through any means he can find, and I feel like I just need to scream at the wall or let someone else deal with this asshole for once.
I’m not rlly picky on format or exact topic, I think I just want to hear a comfort character acknowledge the bs I was put through TvT
Hi Hun. Yeah, I can write this. The general theme is one I'm sadly familiar with. Comfort character Sev ftw! Might be a couple days as I've got assignments and work going at the moment, but I've got some ideas rolling around already. I'll tag you on it when it's posted. You take care, okay. <3
In the meantime, I've got a one-shot along similar lines you might like. :) (99+) Severus Snape (and Harry Potter universe) love blog on Tumblr
I have the most random idea of a reader insert/oc story where they're Severus's childhood friend/sweetheart instead of Lily and ends up befriending Remus and Bellatrix and they're the most random but awesome friend group in Hogwarts.
Some highlight points: *Severus develops the Wolfsbane potion for Remus while they're still students. *Bella escapes her family and is taken in by her sister (Andromeda's the older sister in this) *With a healthy support group, Severus overcomes his childhood and has protection against the Marauders. *Severus and Bella aren't taken in by the Death Eaters. *After school, Severus writes new potions books, Remus becomes DADA teacher at Hogwarts and Bella becomes an Aurora.
Prompt: 8. Snowballs
A/N: So this one is just pure fun. I just wanted to write something that would hopefully make you laugh, or at least smile xD ^^ Please, tell me your favourite part/line in the comments :D
Setting: Hogwarts Grounds, Snowball fight among students in the courtyard
Characters: Snape, McGonagall, Filch, Flitwick (early years, Snape is about 23-25)
Word count: 1576
Warnings: Prepare to laugh (I think/hope)
“Take that!” A snowball came wooshing through the air, the girl it was aimed for ducked just in time. “You!” she hollered and threw a snowball back at the boy. He jumped to the side and it hit the back of a Slytherin girl. “What the- oh you Gryffindors!” she snarled and threw a snowball back. It smacked the girl right in the face and she fell backwards just as the courtyard was filling up with students walking between classes.
“OH IT’S ON!” the Gryffindor girl shrieked as she gathered snow. “IT’S WAR!” the Slytherin girl screamed as she did the same. Students took sides, Gryffindors an Hufflepuffs on one side, Slytherins on the other with a few Ravenclaws as well while others just watched the unfurling of a full-on snowball war between the houses.
