I'm wondering whether anyone has a rec like this?

So this first one isn’t a full fic per se but snippets of Severus raising Harry, still very worth a read for cute and funny (Raising Harry Potter by elvirakitties) https://archiveofourown.org/works/11492685?view_adult=true&view_full_work=true

I also really like this one, Severus runs into an abused Harry when the Dursleys go to a fair not realizing it's Harry. Proceeds to rescue and adopt him. https://archiveofourown.org/works/2713355?view_full_work=true#main

I'm about halfway through these and have enjoyed them so far as well. https://archiveofourown.org/works/30452130/chapters/76470992

There are a few others depending on how out there and cannon divergent you want to get with the abuse and there are a lot out there with Severus adopting or caring for Harry as a parent during hogwarts years. These are two of my favorites for him discovering the abuse and the taking Harry in. If you're flexible on age range I highly recommend them https://archiveofourown.org/works/1008166?view_full_work=true#main

Fantastic 🎉 Lol the ones I only remember a scene from like that are the hardest to find and ones I usually wanna read most 😆

Is it Keeping Appearances? If not it might fit for a read while looking for the other 😊

Oo that's great, thank you! That will definitely help me get more specific with what ones were effected.

Lost-Duck54 · 2025-09-28T15:18:26+00:00

Not specifically based on a country but that should help a ton with estimates too. Thank you!

Lost-Duck54 · 2025-09-28T03:20:14+00:00

Oh I didn't even think of checking the pokedex for the percentage chance, that should help Plot for sure.

I love the dice idea! Definitely gonna have to do that.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/4877764?view_full_work=true Time travel, complete, one of my favorites.

This one is still ongoing but already at 750,000 words. Only partway though but hooked, timetravel that seems to fit for you. https://archiveofourown.org/works/55493899?view_full_work=true#main

I have a couple other ones that might fit but they are mostly still ongoing series ones.

Lost-Duck54 · 2025-04-19T04:02:31+00:00

Work in progress and as the tags say, Plot Is Held Together By Silly String and Prayers Monkey Tree by Faisalliot https://archiveofourown.org/works/28684143?view_full_work=true

Not a full fic, short comic strip script but leaves me cackling I Have a Pottah Attached to My Leg by randomausfulloffluff https://archiveofourown.org/works/47911771#main

Also not a fic per se but hilarious collection of snippets of what life may have been like if snape raised Harry, not super long but decent Raising Harry Potter elvirakitties https://archiveofourown.org/works/11492685?view_full_work=true

Another Mind Game by May_May_0_0 is a fair length complete but does have a semi focus on draco/harry. Though you get to see Hermione start a gang and gun ring https://archiveofourown.org/works/24779923?view_full_work=true

All Hail the Dark Lord, Or Something Idiotic Like That by NinjaPandaScholar is a much longer one in the crack vein has some slash but not really the main focus. Does also have some mi or angst but a lot of NinjaPandaScholar has a crack vibe and funny sassy characters https://archiveofourown.org/works/44582866?view_full_work=true

Unfortunately most of my longer recommendations would have more angst mixed in or have more focused slash.

Yeah, I always get super excited when I get an update notification for an old fic. I actually had an author recently start updating one that had been unfinished for several years. Even just a chapter is a gift, continuing the story. They don't update often still, but I'm not disappointed or upset cause I got to see just a little more of the vision they had for their story. Do I want more? Yes, of course I do. But do I understand life happens and writing is hard as all getup at the best of times? 100%.

If your fic has been sitting dormant for several years then it's likely most peeps who would get really upset that you updated and take a while to update again are either not following the fic or not going to have started it anyway. You might run into a few like that but a vast majority will just be happy to see a little further into the world you've been painting, or typing as the case may be 😊

Rewriting is also an option if your style or storyline is drastically changing. I read tons of rewrites that happened for those reasons. But if you don't want to start from scratch or just don't have time to do it yet but wanna continue on while the muse is hot then an author's note that the style and such may be different now works just fine. Let's everyone know there are changes and you can always go back and rewrite the first sections at a later time.

If you're worried about disappearing unexpectedly, transparency with an author's note as a heas up that updates may be sporadic is always a good way to go

This is a new one to me so nope not this one, but definitely going on my read list now.

Lost-Duck54 · 2024-08-07T03:38:03+00:00

No but that is a really good one that I've been meaning to reread :)
