Codes and More Choices

Welcome to the Potions and Snitches (P&S) Fanfiction archive.

It's time to renew our hosting plan. If you would like to contribute some funds, here is our P&S donation page! Thank you so much!

This is the home for stories exploring the general relationship between Severus Snape and Harry Potter. You will be able to find Mentor fics, Father and Son fics, and similar type stories in the archive. MA rated fics are not allowed on this site, nor is SS/HP slash (SS/HP romantic or sexual content). Gen means nonslash.

Chocolate frog ratings: When submitting a review, you will have the option of rating the story as well, from 1-10. A ten is a fantastic, ridiculously awesome chapter that you are going to want to reread; a five should be an average story, which translates to 2.5 frogs.

Recent Downtime

Hello Everybody,

 

Apologies for the recent downtime... we were unfortunately the victims of a hacker who attacked our website. This did cause a couple of weeks of lost data and we were forced to upgrade to PHP8 which the code is not 100% ready for so if you discover bugs please report them in the #site-bugs-help channel on our Discord.

 

Thanks so much!

Story of the Moment
To Understand by Siff16 16+
Harry is struggling and does not know what to do. Things are getting worse and worse and he is not sure how much more he can take. Will Hogwarts, and a particular potions professor, be his new beginning? Or will it be his end? Warnings: Self injury, suicide themes. Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

I understand, it's a dystopian niche. I'll think on it, perhaps should focus only on my other story here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

are similar on here, though: so it's not exactly out of place, just needs readers of particular interest.

Riddletobien: I've read parts of your "Keep..." fic and it's definitely not bad, just not "severitus" enough for me (and more mature than I like due to PTSD issues). There

> well, a sign to stop I mean, it's got Snape mentorship endgame but perhaps it's not the right fit here?

In 2026 I discovered a website exclusively for Severitus (my favorite topic btw) And it's been active even before I was born????
