The war has ended and now 12 students return to Hogwarts to finish their education as 8th Years. Severus, having survived Nagini's bite, will also be returning. Now free from his former masters, he hopes to redeem himself in his new role and repair broken relationships. But the children of the war are damaged, none more so than Harry, and healing will take some time. SS/HP mentor.

AU. Severus Snape survives Nagini's attack and remains at Hogwarts as Headmaster. Told in a series of connected one shots, written in no particular order. Completely ignores Cursed Child timeline. Author sadly owns no rights to Harry Potter.

Albus Dumbledore considers his protege and spy in his office. Set during OOTP. Oneshot.

When Hoseok, starts making mistakes during dance practice the members know something must be wrong with him. OR There's not enough Hoseok fluff on the internet so I thought I'd make some more.

Vin screamed desperately as the backlash from the explosion hit his hiding place outside the warehouse. Everything was drowned out in the god awful roar emanating from the building where his entire team had been just moments before. NOT A DEATHFIC!

Sherlock once told John that heroes did not exist. He was wrong. Rated M for adult content e.g. Slash/Sexual Abuse inc. rape/violence. Part 4 up! *FINALLY UPDATED!*

Minerva finds a seriously hurt Severus. She suspects he is hidding something important from the Order. Poppy helps her friend in spite of her complicated feelings towards her.

In 'His Last Vow' there was a big amount of off-screen suffering. So here is a collection of scenes that I missed in the episode. There are intense moments of handling physical pain and mental agony, as well as a lot of H/C, doctor!John, hurt!Sherlock and unwelcome medication in Sherlock's sytem.

[AU where Moriarty didn't return and Sherlock survived his six month mission.] He returns to London to find the Watsons knee deep in nappies and a newborn. But something's different; something's changed. Maybe he was right after all: John and Mary don't need him when they've got a real baby. And anyway, Sherlock's not the same person he was before he left, either. At all.

Sherlock gets sick, not 'he'll recover in a few days' sick but hospitalised for a long time sick. His friends are all there to help him but he is Sherlock, he doesn't want or need their help. Rated T just to be safe. This involves all of the recurring characters, there just wasn't room for them all in the 'characters' section.

After a long day, Sherlock pays a visit to his best friends John and Mary - and especially to their toddler, Marcie - when the couple have a bad fight, leaving Sherlock to try and find a way to comfort their daughter in the next room. Fluff, dashes of angst, character study, oneshot. No profanity, slash, or violence. Post HLV. Cover image by NautilusL2 on DeviantArt.

"Listen, has he ever had any kind of girlfriend, boyfriend, a relationship, ever?" "I don't know." "How can we not know?" "He's Sherlock. How will we ever know what goes on in that funny old head?" John notices one of Sherlock's oddities, but he just can't put his finger on why it bothers him so much. And then Sherlock leaves his wedding early.

Mrs Hudson is fed-up of being woken by Sherlock's night time habits, but when she goes up to berate him she finds him agitated and troubled. Searching for answers, however, she may find out things she'd rather not know. Especially about Sherlock's 'hiatus'.

Sherlock after the wedding Sherlock finds help coping from a most unexpected source. Originally, I wanted Angst, but now I've got an annoyingly high amount of fluff an crack... Okay, I'm going with it. Rated T just in case.

When something goes wrong at a crime scene Sally Donovan is forced to rethink her opinion of Sherlock Holmes. Implied child abuse.

Set during HLV, John is currently living at Baker Street and he and Mrs Hudson take care of Sherlock while he recovers from the shooting. Not a very good summary, I apologise! Rated K to be safe.

This began as a one-shot which evolved into a multi-parted story and portrays a few scenes from "His Last Vow" which I found were missing in the episode. Not Johnlock, contains spoilers for Season 3.

Sherlock knew John would be angry with him when he came back. After all, he's not that much of an idiot. But what he didn't expect was for John to pull out his bisexuality enough for a quick, angry wall shag before he ran. Of course there are more problems with this than the obvious ones.

Minerva and Poppy are shocked at Albus's lack of care for Severus after the young Potions Master returns, injured, after a Death Eater meeting. (Set sometime after GoF)

When John stops by to check on Sherlock after the events on the train, he thinks the worst when he sees a syringe on the table. How was he supposed to know it was for antibiotics for his infected wounds? Written for a prompt.

There aren't many things that will stop Sherlock Holmes from running off to a crime scene and investigating. Certainly not John Watson's comments about his pasty skin colour or his being unwell - which is ridiculous because he's absolutely fine. Until, of course, his transport fails while he's crouching down next to a corpse, and John might happen to be right once again./One-shot

Sherlock is a self-sacrificing bastard and John needs it to stop, because he can't go back to how it was before. No slash, post HLV.

"Sherlock," the doctor said quietly, "after all this time, do you still think that you're completely unlovable?" The detective's eyes said it all. Post-Reichenbach. Can be interpreted as platonic or shippy, whatever you wish. After a case one evening in the flat Sherlock voices a concern that causes the pair to consider why they've chosen to stick together after all that's happened

After three years spent with dismantling Moriarty's web, Sherlock finally returns to London - and to John. John, however, after three years of thinking his best friend dead, does not react as expected and is not ready to forgive him, but sends Sherlock, alone and in need of his friend, away. When John finally comes to his senses, it might be too late./Prompt fill. Angsty.

It takes five months, like Sherlock thought it would. Written for a tumblr challenge.

The trio want an insight into what goes on at the Order meetings, but they end up gaining some new perspective about a man they never considered much beyond 'ugly, greasy git'... a few itty swear words, nothing too bad. Could be seen as AU.

Fix-it fic for His Last Vow. How my inner Johnlock fangirl wanted things to end. John decides he simply cannot forgive Mary and decides on divorce instead. At the same time, an eavesdropped conversation on the Holmes brothers reveals some surprising information to John about his best friend.

Three Missing Scenes from The Empty Hearse: After the bonfire John was safe and Mary was looking for Sherlock. Neither one of them had yet to thank him, and neither of them had even gotten the chance to make sure that he wasn't hurt.

Sherlock and John are involved in a car crash caused by Sherlock. Sherlock ends up with the worst damages, and although he's seemingly on the mend, it might not be just that easy.

Sherlock had always been a fighter, but how will he handle this unexpected violence, and having to hide his pain from his friends, after what he suffered in his two year absence.

Neal has a bad malaria attack, but the timing is bad. He'd rather run and leave everything behind. Peter has to face his own demons and make up his mind. Will he save his friend and, even more important, finally stop acting like a jerk? (Rethorical question...) First chapter focuses on hurting Neal, second one on both men's emotional turmoil and the last one offers some comfort.

Sherlock should be very happy. Why wasn't he happy? The Sign of Three SPOILERS Rated T for drug use and language. No pairing, just Sherlock and John in the aftermath of John's wedding.

"The phone was a coping mechanism. The number had been saved in the detective's contacts as 'John', and the doctor's real number had been deleted." Post-Fall.

Sherlock sighed and pushed his phone back into his pocket. He'd only agreed to come here because John promised to be with him. But now he was alone stuck at a table with people who had made his university life hell. - Basically a story about Sherlock's Alumni reunion. Seb is a dick. John is a BAMF! There is some serious swearing and abusive language in this one.

Lestrade's reaction to the news about Sherlock's death. He doesn't take it very well. Lestrade blames himself for driving Sherlock to suicide, and the guilt crushes him. He never even got a chance to apologize to Sherlock for everything he did - and didn't do. Now includes the reunion scene.

Sherlock returns, but his friendship with John is damaged. Nevertheless, they embark on their final hunt to finish off Moriarty's net, but it ends in a catastrophe: Sherlock is shot and lapses into a coma. As John keeps vigil, he reads Sherlock's diary written during the hiatus. Slowly, he begins to understand and finds himself wishing for another miracle. Completed.

A moment in time is all it takes to put things into perspective. In a moment in time, a life can be ended... but a life can also be saved. Sherlock would stand on the ledge of St Barts roof in that moment, and he would take a step forward. Suicidal, depressed and hopeless. Would anyone care if he died? A new series of oneshots. Self Harm / Cutting in chapter 2.

Sherlock has difficulty navigating life. There are lots of reasons why and this fic explores some of the reasons and their effects. I'm not good at summaries, you'll have to actually read it to know what this is about. Lots of angst and there'll be a lot of H/C in the last chapter.

Someone says something to someone that is not very nice. That Someone then feels terrible. And so does the other one. And all the other someones don't really help matters. *Someone is Ezra. Someone is Vin. You know all the other someones. Gen. *Happy Reading :)

When he is rushed to hospital in a serious condition, John's responsibilities are sorely stretched between his best friend and his young family.

Sally Donavan's thoughts on a certain consulting detective and how, with the help of certain tragic events and one conversation of complete understand, Sally learns what being a freak really means. "I can't be him. I tried, but I just can't. Part of me is relieved. To see the world like that, it must be the loneliness place on earth."

After Sherlock's return, he starts to have flashbacks and nightmares that get increasingly worse. Will he let John help him before he becomes unraveled? Mostly written from Sherlock's perspective. A continuation of my story, "He's Shattered" but can be read by itself.

When Sherlock vanishes one day without notice, John knows instinctively that something is wrong. Bad feelings, however, can't help to find your missing best friend. Dark!fic. Rated M for a reason. All warnings inside for those who wish to know before reading.

Sherlock never sleeps unless he absolutely has to. Warnings for mild language, drug use, bullying, and (apparent) character death.

When John makes a birthday cake for Sherlock he thinks its an innocent enough gesture. But nothing is ever normal with Sherlock and this isn't just another birthday.

One-off, for now. Not sure where I'm going with this. Fragments of conversation stuck in my head so I toyed with that a bit. Sort-of AU in which John has moved in with Mary, and stops going on cases with Sherlock after a while. WARNING: Major character death.

In the aftermath of a firing incident Sherlock is gravely injured. John takes care of him and does his best to make their new life work. Sherlock/John. Hard-core bromance to a point where it could be safely regarded as pre-slash.

Deals with what happened to the boys after the ruckus in the saloon. No slash. Fifth in Brothers Series.

John gets married and Sherlock finds it hard to cope. Cue lots of angst. Inspired by All Time Low's song 'Therapy' even though this is not a song fic.

The doctor had just asked how bad the pain was when the pain spiked. Sherlock's initial response was a gasp that evolved into a whimper. "Ten," he gasped. "Ten..."

An investigation into a new case resonates powerfully with Sherlock, reminding him of his past, of things he's never shared with anyone, not even John. Mentions of child abuse, death.

Seventh year fic. Severus Snape has been isolated for basically his whole life. Now, due to the fact that he killed Dumbledore, he feels more alone than ever. Warnings: Attempted suicide, OOC.

"Sally had always said that someday, they'd be standing around a body and Sherlock Holmes would be the one who put it there. But now they were standing around his body and what it was doing to John Watson was more than she could bear." Unrelated to Reichenbach. No character death.

Sherlock arrives ill at a crime scene, and there are... complications. Lestrade makes a phone call, and Sally Donovan sees something wholly unexpected.

Sherlock Holmes is faced with a murder. Fairly normal for him. But he knows this murderer, and this murderer knows him. And John, DI Lestrade, Sgt Sally Donovan and Anderson are confronted with a horrific truth, that leaves some of them doubting their judgement of Sherlock's character. This is my first fanfic, please leave me reviews and suggestions! Hope the rating is appropriate!

Pretty much what it says on the tin. Sherlock gets appendicitis, deals with it in a very Sherlockian way. I dont really get the rating system so I'm just going to say there's nothing particularly graphic in here, no bad language or anything really. Just the story.

Told from Mad-Eye Moody's point of view. The Order finds out what their spy goes through for them. AU, duh. Some people may find Moody OOC, but if you actually look in the books, its Barty Crouch Jr. that has the problem with Snape.

Sherlock is left alone with his mind when John says something hurtful to him. Sherlock's mind is slowly killing his body because his heart is already dead. Can John repair their relationship and help his Sherlock come back.

A previously secret behaviour is observed by others, whilst relaxing around the campfire. Once again, could be construed as pre-slash if you're of the mind, but I see it more as brotherly bonding between two lonely souls.

Much of Sherlock's past is ugly and troubled, as John abruptly finds out - and almost wishes he hasn't. Yet maybe he can be the one to reconcile that past with the present and future? **Some scenes will be of a disturbing nature** Please read & review

*Re upload* In the wake of a terrible miscommunication...will team 7 lose one of their own. *ATF,gen*

As expected, Deathly Hallows was all about Harry. We only get fleeting glimpses of what Snape could be doing through the book – a welcome respite from the usual camp-flee-camp routine. This fanfic explores Snape’s final year in Deathly Hallows.
