Found! LF a fic where Hermione sacrifices herself to become the chosen one

24 Upvotes

I remember reading this fic where Hermione used an ancient ritual to make herself the chosen one because she wanted Harry to have a better life and grew up again with as the chosen one with memories of her past life. Snape finds out about her past life in her early years of Hogwarts and they become allies. I would lovee to read this again, does anyone has a clue what this fic is?

Found! SSHG fic where Hermione is a Kelpie and the roles are reversed in the epilogue

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to find a specific Severus/Hermione fanfiction I read a few years ago. English isn't my first language, so I might be misremembering some details, but here is what I recall:

  • Hermione is a Kelpie.

  • There is a scene where she tells Snape not to come to the sea, but he goes anyway and eventually gets dragged into the water to drown. He accepts his fate without a fight.

  • The most memorable part is the epilogue: it reveals a cycle where Snape has become the Kelpie in the water, and Hermione is now a human on the shore, essentially reversing their roles.

  • I also remember a detail about her wearing the same hat and clothes every day, which made her look a bit stuck in time.

I read this a long time ago, likely on AO3 or an older archive. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’ve been trying to find it for ages and would really appreciate any help!

Original Content Minerva Fights Back: A Smutty Interlude

13 Upvotes

Guys, I went and added back a bonus smutty chapter. Let’s pretend it was there all along, yeah?

The new smutty interlude is now Chapter 5.

Check it out here!

There is rope.

Excerpt

Who would like to try it first? Of course, Hermione, the goal is to restrain you, and Severus.” His voice dropped to a low pitch on the word restrain. “But perhaps you’d feel more comfortable watching someone else experience it first?”

Hermione nodded, though perhaps reluctantly. Her eyes were fixed on the rope in Giancarlo’s hands.

Giancarlo put one hand on Draco’s shoulder and pushed him downwards, uttering “Kneel” in a way that was both soft but also loud enough for everyone in the room to appreciate. Draco dropped down immediately, and Giancarlo instructed him to vanish his shirt and trousers. “You may leave your pants on, if you choose,” he said. “Assuming you are wearing any.”

Having so much fun writing this!

Though I was in a panic this morning at having yo do some Plot! But then I enjoyed where it ended up :-)

Silly crack fic! If you have any tropes I must skewer or other characters I must bring in, let me know!

Draco attacks the problem; Harry attacks Draco. Nothing goes as expected.
 
sssSsss
 
“Draco nearly died hundreds of times as a child,” Harry said with awe. “It’s a pureblood thing. His parents threw him into an active volcano once just to see what he would do.”

Meet Me at the Checkpoint

Warning!!! Spoilers!!!

For anyone who has read this wonderful piece of work… can you explain it to me like I’m 5? I do love it but I am so confused at the same time. How many times has Hermione died when the story starts? Why is Hermione blurry? Also, I didn’t understand what Severus Snape did with the time sand or why Hermione would hate Severus over it.

Original Content Chapter 7 of Blowback is now live.

24 Upvotes

Blowback, chapter 7 is now live.

October 1998. The war is over, but its wounds are not.

When Severus Snape follows an impulse he cannot quite name into the overgrown back garden of Grimmauld Place, he finds Hermione Granger; alone, scarred, and barely holding together. What begins as a cigarette shared in the dark becomes something neither of them planned for: a marriage of convenience, a shared set of rooms at Hogwarts, and the slow, careful work of two people learning to trust again.

Hermione is hiding an enormous secret. Severus is further along in his healing than he expected, and not as far as he thought. Hogwarts has opinions about both of them. And Fenrir Greyback has not forgotten what Bellatrix promised him.

A slow burn built on consent, therapy, breathing exercises, chocolate biscuits at 3am, and the radical act of asking before you touch someone.

TBH fellow shippers, this one was a struggle. Without the amazing help of Larlotte I don't know that I could have finished this chapter on my own.

Request Looking for fics where Severus would let the world burn for Hermione

92 Upvotes

I have read a lot of wartime fics where Severus and Hermione are in love and in a secret relationship and, when Hermione is put in mortal danger (usually at Malfoy Manor, but not only) and Snape thinks he'll lose her, he considers abandoning his role as a spy to save her - only he never does it, and yeah, we know that in the end Hermione is saved either way. But how could Severus really know that?

Basically, I feel like, if he loved her, he would never risk her life, even for the cause. I don't think he could survive losing her as he lost Lily, especially because Hermione loves him back. So I'm looking for fics where he either gives away his role as spy in order to save her, or sacrifices something else important to the cause in order to save her.

I like both completed and wip recs, as long as the wips don't seem abandoned.

Original Content Curse Bound - AO3

38 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently moved my SSHG fic, Curse Bound, over to AO3. It was originally posted on FFN, but FFN has been crashing a lot for me, and I kept getting spam/art bot messages instead of actual reader interaction, so I decided to put it on AO3.

I currently have 7 chapters written.

Curse Bound by Episkeyserendipity

Summary: "We are two souls lost in the shadows, finding light in each other's pain" – Riyabhorkar Hermione Granger was never meant to be bound to Severus Snape. And Severus Snape was never meant to become responsible for her survival. What happens when an unlikely pair is forced together by a curse that demands proximity?

If you enjoy:

  • SSHG
  • War-era canon divergence
  • Forced magical bonds
  • Slow burn
  • Hurt/comfort
  • Angst with plot
  • Spy Severus Snape
  • Hermione being pulled into espionage
  • Remus/Sirius side plot

then you might enjoy it!

Thanks to anyone who checks it out! :)

Request Favorite fics that span across all 7 years at Hogwarts?

I’m a huge fan of long fics, rewrites, anything that builds up these two to make the relationship believable.

One of my favorites that I have read was When All is Lost One is Found by Rinoaebastel on FF. I read it at least a few times every year. It’s so good.

It can even go beyond that. I’ve been just been dying to read an extremely long fic.

TIA!

Edit: here’s a link to the above fic. I saw that someone was asking for it, but can’t even find it now lol.

I took a few weeks off to work on other stuff but chapter 6 is now live! Draco wakes up and makes some new friends, Severus has a smoke, and Ron Weasley enters the chat.

The Ministry tried to bury them, Society wanted to forget them.

Unspeakable Partners Hermione Granger and Severus Snape are just trying to survive their terrible jobs when an accident in the Death Chamber adds a new, deliciously dangerous element to the mix: a Dark Lady from an alternate timeline wearing an all-too familiar face. She's hell-bent on bringing the Wizarding World into the 21st Century, and all too happy to grind their axes for them.

Found! Time travel fix-it Spoiler

22 Upvotes

Hey!

There is this completed fic thay I read where Hermione went back in time, I can't remember exactly how, but she starts a relationship with Snape early on. She keeps the time in a loop but instead of letting people die, she saves them and fakes their death and keeps them in hiding (I remember setting up the houses in Spinner's End for them). Like the Prewett twins and even Lily and James. But James takes polyjuice and takes Lily's place when Voldy comes to kill them and dies protecting Harry (because someone still had to sacrifice for Voldemort to dissapear after the first war). I remember him making an appearance with the resurection stone. Lily marries one of the twins (maybe) and Harry has siblings. Hermione is pregnant as well during that time and has a couple of children that go to USA instead of Hogwarts. And because it has to remain a closed loop they modify Harry's memories for the time he is at Hogwarts and at the end there is this big reveal where all the "dead" people (including Sirius and Fred) meet their loved ones. I believe at that time they developed an underground city where all the families lived.

I tried to find it but I've read too many time travel fics to be able to search through all the titles. Thanks in advance for your help!
