Silver Spoon Child Eating off a Paper Plate by MellarkandArt

Summary
Set at the start of book five. The ever-busy Dumbledore is a little delayed in sending that howler to Petunia, and so when Vernon insists that Harry needs to leave the house as he's clearly a danger to the family, Harry is packed and down the road with no protest, causing the blood wards to break. The Dursleys instantly become a vulnerable target for Death Eaters, and Harry himself is snatched by a Death Eater, but it's Severus Snape and this is coming from a Severitus writer so you've likely already figured out where all of this is going.
***
Snape didn’t become Harry’s guardian because he wanted to be. He did it because it was the best option they had at the time.
Snape didn’t start giving Harry Occlumency lessons because he wanted to help him. He did it because it’s what the headmaster told him to do.
Snape didn’t grow to care about Harry because he wanted to. He just did.

Summary
“Harry,” Severus sighed, coming to stand next to him. “What did I say about having the snake at the breakfast table?”
“Her name isn’t “the snake,” Harry murmured resentfully. Severus had gotten Noodle at the request of Dumbledore, but he obviously wasn’t the biggest fan of Harry’s new friend.
“Danger Noodle,” Severus said through gritted teeth, “needs to be put away while your classmates are trying to eat.”
“I’m sorry,” Harry sighed. “I just wanted everyone to meet her. It’s her first day and she’s really shy!”
“I highly doubt she can feel such a complex emotion as shyness, given that she is a reptile-” Harry moved his hands to cover Noodle’s nonexistent ears, glaring at his father’s lack of sensitivity, “- but even so, I’m sure she’ll be quite alright if you put her in your pocket while you eat your breakfast.”
“But- that feels so mean. And she’s hungry. You're going to your office now, aren’t you? Couldn’t you take her with you? She needs her rats.”
Severus stared at Harry, likely trying to surmise if he was being serious. Despite being a Slytherin, it had become quite clear in the past few days that Severus was not at all fond of snakes.

Summary
“Severus?” Harry inquired quietly.
“Mm?”
“Do you like Professor Lockhart?”
Professor Snape snorted, though he tried to cover it up with a cough as Harry sometimes attempted to do with his giggles. He would take that as a no, then.
***
If one thing was for certain, it was that Harry knew what it was like to be taken advantage of.
Whether or not he was capable of seeing the signs of it remained to be seen.

Katniss gets captured by the capital instead of Peeta. And she really is pregnant.

I wrote this when I was in 7th grade and I thought about rewriting it but then I realized that it is really bad to a funny extent and am now presenting this as crack fic.

Summary
“Severus,” Harry had asked, “what’s a Death Eater?”
“Where did you hear that word?” Professor Snape questioned sharply.
Harry reeled back a bit, surprised by the raised voice. He didn’t say it out loud, because he wasn’t totally stupid, but he thought that was a rather daft question to ask. Hadn’t they both been there when Mr. Malfoy had referred to Severus as one? Hadn’t they both seen that paper in Professor Dumbledore’s office? “Er, well… it’s not a word, is it? It’s two.”
***
Harry hears the phrase "Death Eater" being thrown around a lot lately, especially in reference to his new adoptive father, Professor Snape. He finally asks Severus what it means, and isn't terribly pleased to learn the answer.

Summary
The Rogues are back; Tony Stark couldn't even be mad about it - it was his idea after all. He's an Avenger and that means protecting the Earth at any cost - even if he has to deal with a certain star-spangled man and his sullen sidekick. After all, he's been through worse in his life; the loss of his wife and the disappearance of his son 12 years ago. Compared to that, this would be a walk in the park.
Bucky Barnes is back on US soil as a free man. But freedom is more than just physical. On top of that, Steve is desperate for him to be the man he was before. The only problem is; that man is long dead.
Peter Parker has been through the mill but he knows he just had to adapt, roll with the (many) punches and keep going. Spider-man is his safe place now, the one time he could truly feel like himself. Like he is making a difference. He'd make sure no one would suffer like he has, even if he has to track down the perpetrator himself.

Finding out that Draco Malfoy is also staying at Spinner’s End, of course.
None of them know how they'll survive a month in each others' company, but they might just come out the other side with something they all need the most: a family.

Summary
Set during the summer after Harry's Fifth Year. The fifteen-year-old is struggling to cope with his godfather's recent death, ridden with guilt, shame, remorse, and much internal conflict, depression looming on the horizon. The Dursleys aren't helping things either. Things take a sudden twist for the worse when the Blood Wards around Privet Drive fall, rendering Harry unsafe. What's the solution? Dumbledore arranges for Harry to stay with his most hated person after Voldemort and Umbridge: Severus Snape. In isolation. For two weeks. It goes without saying that neither wizard is pleased, and their feelings of mutual hatred are much reciprocated. And with a ticking sleep-deprived Gryffindor time-bomb, that right there is a recipe for a dangerous concoction.
Angst, hurt/comfort, emphasis on psychology and character developement. Super slice-of-life kind of story where every chapter is one day of the two weeks our two favorite characters have to spend in isolation. And the chapters are LONG. Panic attacks, stress, anxiety all based off of personal experiences. Written in third-person omniscient. Heavy emphasis on internal conflict, feelings, emotions, and learning to cope with life's shit.

Summary
It's the beginning of second year and there's something off about Harry. His friends have noticed, his classmates have noticed, hell, even Severus Snape has noticed. Meanwhile, some new information has come to light that leads to Dumbledore asking something of his Potions Master, something Severus isn't quite sure he's qualified for. Nevertheless, Severus attempts to protect Harry from the threat of outside forces and maybe even face some demons that are a little closer to home.
A Snape mentors/adopts Harry story. AU from the end of Philosopher's.
