Summary
Harry Potter has already lost the war once.
In 2024, with the resistance collapsing and Stella still impossible to defeat, a last, desperate potion sends Harry and the surviving members of the resistance back into their younger bodies.
The good news? They know what is coming now. The bad news? This time, they have two villains to defeat instead of one.
Harry changes his face, takes the name Gold, and returns to Hogwarts as the new Defence professor.
Severus Snape sees through him immediately.
Instead of exposing him... he steps closer. He knows the new professor is dangerous. But whatever Gold is—war mage, liar, sex god in leathers—Snape wants him anyway.
Meanwhile, Professor Gold partners Ron Weasley with Draco Malfoy for the entire bloody year.
This proves to be a terrible idea.
While Snape and Harry negotiate desire like diplomats standing over a bomb, Ron and Draco simply light the fuse.
All four of them are trying to survive each other in the middle of a war.
What could possibly go wrong?Warning: now featuring… terrible author notes and high levels of filth.

Summary
Harry Potter wishes on a star for a way to get to know his parents, find happiness, and abandon his roles in the war. He wakes up to see he’s somehow time travelled all the way back to 1975!
Meeting his parents wasn’t at all what he expected however. Targeted and bullied by the infamous Marauders right from the jump, Harry is surprised to find himself befriending people the likes of Severus Snape and Barty Crouch Jr! And apparently there is no Voldemort?!
Even less expectedly is how different teenage Severus Snape is from the potions professor who haunted his nightmares. Romance quickly blossoms between the two of them, but what happens when the Marauders start to take their pranks way too far?

Summary
Severus would fervently deny, even under the influence of Veritaserum, that, amid the banalities and basilisks and banoffee pie recipes inundating his in-tray each day, the letters which most perked his interest were scrawled in haphazard handwriting he had instantly recognised, with a Wronski Feint in his insides, from seven years of Troll-grade potions essays.
Messy, like the author’s scruffy jet-black hair.
Meddlesome friends conspire to pull Severus Snape from his post-war snakebitten sulk, to become the snarky sage behind the Quibbler’s new Agony Aunt advice column, ‘Dear Demiguise’.
But, somewhere in between grumbling through the absurd catastrophes and couplings of the wizarding world’s deluge of dunderheads, Severus begins to find one particular correspondent troublingly familiar, and troublingly compelling…
Or, the Severus Snape becomes a surprisingly good Agony Aunt AU that nobody, least of all Harry Potter, knew they needed.
