I do love Severus and Harry in any relationship which is weird when you think about it but they click. In this you have the cliche wrong boy who lived but without the over the top abuse you find in some stories. Snape gets roped into watching Harry when training begins with Adrian and over time they develop a  relationship that transcends the normal mentor to a father son relationship. Harry loves his parents but they cannot relate to him anymore. This is a Harry raised to be all that he can be by someone who believes in him. Introduce Merlin and a new prophecy, a friend closer then his own twin, friends that believe in him and a mind that was taught there are no limits you have an awesome story. I love the trouble he and Snape get into on their hidden vacations and when they do the great reveal I was laughing so hard I was crying. Cannot wait to see where it goes next.

Nobody Cared (Severus & Harry)

A good story that in the last few chapters became a great story. The story line of Harry being abused then found by a member of the staff usually Snape then rescued as been done a thousand times. This is definitely one of the better ones. Good Malfoy and a great manipulative Dumbledore make the story come to life. The drawings in the cupboard was an innovative touch and made the transition from guardian to son easier to understand from Harry's point of view. His angel told him that the Dark Man would save him and he did. The characters are human not saints and make mistakes. There is no Weasley bashing although Ron does prove that he is an immature git. The ending will surprise you and the fact that justice was served just makes it more enjoyable. I know I cheered. I do hope there is a sequel dealing with Sirius Black because we all know that he will never stand for Severus Snape being the father of Harry Potter.

Two Hawks Hunting (Severus & Harry)

The continuation of Broken Wings and a great story in of itself. It does drag in a couple of spots but the author quickly brings the action back. I do love the way the author shows that just because you defeat the monster happily ever after has to be worked for. You cannot go through war, danger, death, abuse and still be a calm, cheery individual. When the battles are over is when you need your loved ones the most even if it is to give that boot in the ass to get help. Hedwig is hilarious you can see that this is an owl with an opinion and she is not afraid to tell her human that he is out of line.

I first read this story a couple of years ago then could not find it again which is the main reason for the blog. Not finding stories again not just this particular story.

Awesome story because of the characterization, you get a real feel for the players. If that makes any sense what I mean is that the author gives you enough background that you can see the connections. Snape has always been the perfect partner for Harry because he can truthfully say been there, done that and if I can survive so can you even if I have to drag you every step of the way. Teenagers make stupid decisions everyday, they all feel that no one has ever been where they are and that they will do anything for the pain to go away. Add magic and voila you can escape into an animagus form and being a teen you figure what the hell lets leap out of the tower window because I can fly. Oops well at least Snape was there to put him back together in more ways then one. I love this Snape and cannot wait to finish the sequel.

Common Ground (Snape & Harry)

Common Ground and its sequel Common Interests (WIP)

I do like stories where Snape gets his head out his ass and becomes the snarky, iron covered marshmallow heart that we all love. Not to mention his familiar that will make you laugh Skullduggery, a raven from the Tower, smart ass, intelligent, loyal and did I mention smart ass. Au from the Troll incident where Harry ends up in the library depressed that all are celebrating the death of his parents, Snape finds him then the troll does. Nothing ties you together better then fighting a troll.

Update Oct 23, 2015, The story is on hiatus but is still a good read since it is a long one. I updated the picture since the previous one disappeared.

Away in a manger (Severus & Harry)

(not a great picture but I am learning)

Lovely Christmas story I have to admit I fell a little in love with Augustus Prince Severus's grandfather. Now that was a true lord and warrior. The Dursleys decide to get rid of Harry in an innovative way, they dump in a manger in a creche scene and our favorite Potion Master happens to be passing by depressed at his life. This is a story where he does not join the Deatheators instead concentrating on getting his Masters. At his wits end at dealing with a sick toddler which was funny because been there, done that he finds a letter from his mother telling him to go to his grandfather. He does and this is the story of Harry raised as a Snape not a weapon.

3 Slytherin Marauders (Harry Potter) WIP

3 Slytherin Marauders by SeverusPhoenix
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4923158/1/3-Slytherin-Marauders

I love this story it is a fresh concept and there is little or no character bashing. Dudley gets a wake-up call when they are 10 years old when another child points out that he is the freak for what his family is doing. This starts him to question his and his parents behavior and Petunia finally grows a backbone and decides it is time to leave. She contacts Severus and tells him everything not sparing herself. He decides to get involved, there is a wild flight from a crazed Vernon, living on a dragon preserve, a resurrected Tom Riddle that is bonded to a dead dragon to keep him on the straight and narrow, animagus forms, a father son relationship with Severus, Lucius falls for a squib and Dudley is a wizard and something only rarely seen an evil Neville Longbottom. An excellent story.

Family Bonds (Harry Potter) WIP

The wrong boy who lived but done without the usual abuse and character bashing. Harry is neglected but not intentionaly and not drastically it is more of a benign neglect if that is possible. In this case Albus asks Severus to babysit Harry while the Potters take the other twin to specialist after specialist to find out the power he has and how to activate it. Slowly Harry spends more time with Severus who figures out that he is actually the boy who lived but when he tries to tell them James is to busy being mad that Snape is taking care of Harry. Eventually Severus and Harry develop a father son relationship that is different then most stories. Harry realizes that it is up to him to defeat Voldemort and protect his twin and parents. Smart, powerful, sneaky Harry. A great story and hope it updates soon.

Digging for Bones (Harry Potter) WIP

Sad but excellent story about abuse and the lingering trauma. When a student dies due to family abuse the entire student body is investigated and Severus finds that he was wrong about Harry and decides it is time to let everyone know that he is in fact Harry's biological father. The story is intense and shows a side of Severus and the other characters that is worth reading. While the story is not complete it is already at 51 chapters and I cannot wait for the update.
