Summary
It took three days for his mother to find Severus, laying in the bathtub, wrist marred and un-bandaged, emotionless eyes staring up at the ceiling.
“What happened to you sweetheart?” she had whispered, holding his hand as she knelt by the tub. “My love, where have you gone?"
Two days later, he was meeting his step-father and brother and getting ready to move out into their manor in the “rich kid” neighborhood by the countryside.
“The people are nicer there,” his mother reassured him. “It’ll be good for you. A clean slate.”
"You won’t be invisible." His mother had meant. "You’ll have the chance to be normal."
Severus feels anything but normal.
✦•······················•✦•······················•✦
Broken and invisible, Severus moves from the heart of the city to the countryside when his mother remarries in hopes of restarting. It's his second chance at being a normal teenager, but after the first day, Severus is once again lonely and friendless. As he tries to navigate his not-so-different new life, Severus realizes the relationships around him are more complex than they seem.
Maybe, it's possible for him to stop being a ghost, to be real. Or maybe, disappearing is his destiny. -

Summary
Regulus scrutinized the boy a little longer than comfortable before he asked in an almost clinical tone, “did my brother try to kill you?"
All attempts Snape had been making to pointedly ignore Regulus fell away at the directness of the question. He sputtered as he looked up, meeting Regulus’s aggressively plain expression. “Wh–what?”
“Did my brother try to kill you?” Regulus repeated in the same tone.
Severus blinked blankly for a few moments before his default sneer returned to his face. “Is that what he’s been telling people?”
Regulus pressed his lips together, resting his chin on his folded hands. “I wouldn’t know. I haven’t spoken to him.”
•• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••
Regulus is the only one in this situation having even remotely a good time.

Summary
His mother had told Peter the best he could hope for in school would be to find some boys from a powerful, noble, well-off family and all but worship them. Pray they’d take him along since there was no way Peter could possibly make anything of himself by his own merit. It probably should have stung, hearing just how little faith his mother had in him, but Peter couldn’t fault her for being right. Peter was a follower after all.
And Peter knew he was in no position to bully people— not really. If he hadn’t sucked up to James day one, he would be the one in Snivellus’s place. But unlike Snape, he had played his cards right; Peter had ended up exactly where he needed to be: secure, protected, part of the group, an instigator of the violence he was once so fascinated by.
So of course Sirius fucking Black had to go and ruin everything.
₊˚ ✧ ━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━ ✧ ₊˚
Peter deals with his rapidly unraveling friendships in the only way he knows how.

Summary
“You’re worthless you know?” Snape cut in. “Couldn’t even kill me properly.”
“What?” Remus rasped, “what are you saying?”
“You heard me,” Snape remarked bitterly; his voice was probably supposed to sound mocking, but Remus could sense the underlaying frustration and even… melancholy? in it. “You had one job— one bloody job! Kill a scrawny, malnourished halfblood already halfway to death’s door! And you couldn’t even manage that? Seriously, how pathetic do you have to be?”
Remus froze, turning his head slowly to look at Snape’s bed across the hospital wing. His throat went dry as he looked at the boy’s disheveled appearance, his gaunt frame and white skin so stretched out that it barely covered his protruding green veins— veins he so easily tore through; Snape’s gaze was fixed down onto his sheets, his thin, shiny hair covering his face. More jarringly to Remus though, Snape was shaking— Snape was never afraid after a prank. Annoyed? Yes. Angry? Without a doubt. But never scared. What had Sirius done?
What had Remus done?
⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅
Remus deals with the fall out of nearly killing a boy in a not so healthy way.

Summary
Severus Snape hits what has to be rock bottom; he's a Death Eater even though he doesn't really agree with Voldemort, the Lily he loved and who seemed to love him never forgave him for that word, he never got over what Potter did to him, his friend Narcissa isn't talking to him because of the fall out of the mess he ended up in with her husband, and his best friend Regulus Black is missing and, he presumes, dead. It's all made worse because Voldemort has taken to treating his followers like his own private harem- Reg was the man's last favourite, which he can't believe has nothing to do with the man's fate, and now Voldemort's interest is turning to him.
In desperation he turns to a man he's long thought of as an enemy, but instead of an audience with Dumbledore he gets an ear full of prophecy, prophecy that sounds like a solution to his most pressing problems-- only he's not the only one who was there that night, and even if in this world he swore to keep it to himself, somehow it ends up in Voldemort's ear anyway. What's a man to do but what he can to keep the one he still cares for safe? Even if that does end up with him virtually collapsing on Potter's doorstep.

Summary
“A harmless prank.”
Just one night — one scare — but it ended in blood. Too late to save his enemy from the claws of a starved beast, James Potter watched Severus Snape die beneath the full moon, torn apart by a secret that was never meant to kill him.
The Marauders, once golden in myth and memory, fracture by the very flaws they buried beneath laughter. And from somewhere within that wreckage, James finds himself talking to a ghost: the one soul that might offer the fragile hope of a second chance.
Perhaps, a romance lingers in the echoes.

Summary
Cold seemed to seep into his bones, merging with his very being. All the while, regret held him in a tight chokehold, dragging its heavy feet wherever he went. It was a looming reminder of past mistakes and lost opportunities. One misstep, which seemed to shatter his chances at holding it above his head, came with an unexpected side effect.
Severus found himself amid broken bonds, crumbling bridges and whispered apologies.
