First of all, apologies to the mods if this type of entry is not allowed. I didn't see anything about it in the rules but I'm aware it's very discouraged in other groups. If this post needs to be deleted, please let me know where I should be taking my search. Thanks!

I've stumbled across a few Snape/Harry Gen fics catagorised as Severitis. I believe it refers to fics that place Snape in a parental or mentor role for Harry, either actually as his father, or by adoption. In some cases it's merely a kinder Snape taking an interest in and caring for Harry. The recent recommendation by [info]terri_testing is an example.

I'm hoping members here have some good recommendations or may know of an archive for this catagory. Can anyone help me?
  • Bohemian Spirit has a wonderful AU story called "Severus Evans" where Lily married Severus instead of James, so Severus is Harry's father. Lily is killed by Voldemort and Harry is sent to the Dursleys to protect him, and Harry and Severus aren't reunited until Harry starts his first year at Hogwarts. Severus doesn't really know how to be a father, and Harry is naturally confused and resentful that his father apparently abandoned him with the Dursleys, but they gradually learn to care for each other, and it's a really wonderful and touching twist on canon. It's still a WIP, but well worth reading, and the last posted chapter doesn't end on a cliffhanger.

    • Oooo, hey, thanks for the pimpage. ;-) I was resisting the temptation to rec my own work; nice that I didn't have to do so. And yes, the work in progress WILL continue to progress. My Muse sorta kinda went into hibernation after my mother's death, but now that I'm back online and writing again I expect to have the last few chapters (which are all drafted, just need finishing) posted reasonably soon. Thanks again, Geri!
