DISCLAIMER: I think everyone knows by now that J.K.Rowling would strike you down if you dared assumed possession of Harry Potter & Co. So I don't . Assume possession that is. Neither do any of the authors linked below unless one of them is secretly JKR herself. Kinda spooky when you think about it.

There may or may not be SEX. Het sex (a slim possibility) and slash sex (still a lot less than on the HPSlash page). Mostly, however, it involves a non sexually involved Harry dealing with life, the universe, and Snape. This is one of the few pages on this site that isn't *totally* about the man sex so enjoy it while you can. Yep, we got lost family and adventures and mysteries but not so much sex as normal. Go figure.

My Father's Shadow ::Serpentine Goddess
(physical, mental and sexual abuse, self-harm, and general pain and misery) Harry's been hiding some dirty secrets about his home life, Snape learns the consequences of a one night stand and everyone needs therapy.

Forlorn Hope:: Elssha
(not a happy story but oh, so worth it) What's worse than finding out your real father is Snape? How about the fact that you're a genetic freak created by Voldemort playing God to be his very own super soldier? Bye, Harry Potter. Hello, Horatius Snape.

A Life of Lies ::kamahpfan
(Super powered Harry and abuse cause, duh, they shoot him!) In which Snape goes undercover, Harry takes a bullet for dear old dad and Dumbledore catches an unwanted clue about life on Privet Drive.

In Blood Only:: E.M. Snape PG-13
(Harry abuse from, well, just about everyone)Yes, Snape is Harry's father...unfortunately, he's also a bitter old bastard who'd rather use his progeny for revenge than fuzzy warm paternal feelings. Poor Harry...

Apprentice :: animealam
Mentor!Snape and Abused!Harry; Sure enough, Dumbledore requests Snape retrieve Potter from the Dursleys and take him on as an apprentice when Snape's position as a spy is revealed. Both soon learn there's more to the other than meets the eye. Great author but hasn't been updated since '04. I live in hope, though!

Peorth:: Bleudiablo
The Dursleys are bastards, Harry is an Animagus, and Snape just wants someone to love. Awww.... Bonus points for future Draco/Harry!

Me, Myself, and I:: EmySabath and Broken Mind, Fractured Soul by SensiblyTainted(author now has sequel to Broken Mind, Fractured Soul up that is definately slash)
Both are stories where Harry has MPD (multiple personality disorder) thanks to abuse from the Dursleys and maybe a little bit from when Voldie shot the killing curse at him. Snape helps to heal and is alternatively intrigued, dismayed, and fascinated at what he uncovers.

A Slytherin Aid :: shadowsylvia
Post-Hogwarts, Father!Snape, Hiding!Harry. This one gets rec'd because I love how Harry pulls the wool over everyone's eyes by hiding in what turns out to be plain sight.

Papa's Little Mocking Bird :: MirrorWakes
Severitus! Potters die, Dursleys drop Harry at abusive orphanage, Harry (now Ebon) runs away and becomes the cheekiest street rat he can be. Dumbledore, catching a clue after more than a decade, sends Snape to retrieve him. Fun time is had by all. Bonus points if Harry turns out to be Dracosexual.

Six years to life/Laume
Snape gets turned into a six year old by the dark lord after being caught as a spy. He ends up with a resentful and mistreated Harry Potter. They eventually become one big happy family. Awwwwww.
