There are fanfictions that explore the idea of a parallel universe where Snape and Lily got together. In this universe, Harry and Hermione could have different roles. Maybe Harry grows up in a more stable family environment with Snape as a father - like figure, and Hermione is there to study this unique family dynamic and how it affects the wizarding world.
A great fanfic might be one where Snape's memories of Lily are somehow shared with Harry and Hermione. This could lead to a journey of understanding for both of them. Harry gets to see his mother through Snape's eyes, and Hermione uses her intelligence to analyze the emotional and magical implications of such memories. It could be a very emotional and thought - provoking read.
There is also 'A Childhood with Snape and Lily'. It details their adventures in the wizarding world as children. It's full of little magical moments that they shared, like exploring the Forbidden Forest together (although they weren't really supposed to) and their first attempts at magic outside of school lessons. It really gives a vivid picture of their early relationship.
There are quite a few out there. 'A Broken Hope' is a fanfic where Snape's rejection of Hermione is not just a simple no, but it sets off a chain of events in Hogwarts. It shows how Hermione copes with this rejection and how it changes her relationships with other characters like Harry and Ron. It's really interesting to see how the author develops Hermione's character in the face of such a blow.
Fanfiction often takes the characters of Snape, Hermione and Lily and puts them in new and interesting scenarios. For example, a fanfic could have Hermione discover some long - lost secrets about Snape's relationship with Lily. This could lead to a new understanding between Hermione and Snape, or it could create conflict. Since Snape had such a deep and complex relationship with Lily, and Hermione is a character full of curiosity and determination, there are many possibilities for their interactions in fan - created stories.
One great Snape and Lily time travel fanfiction is 'Back to the Start'. It beautifully explores what would happen if they could go back in time. The author does an amazing job of capturing the essence of their relationship and the magical world. It's full of emotional moments and interesting plot twists.
One great fanfiction could be 'The Unforeseen Bond'. It beautifully weaves the relationships between Harry, Hermione, James, and Lily. It shows how the past of James and Lily influences Harry's present and how Hermione fits into this complex dynamic. It has great character development and a really engaging plot.
One great Hermione, Lucius and Snape fanfiction is 'The Unlikely Alliance'. It explores an alternate universe where they have to work together for a common goal. The author does an amazing job of developing their characters in this new context, showing Hermione's intelligence, Lucius's cunning, and Snape's complex nature.
I also like 'Hermione's Christmas Wish'. Here, Hermione makes a wish on a magical Christmas star that somehow involves Snape. The story then unfolds with some unexpected twists as their relationship develops in the context of the Christmas season. It's a very creative take on their potential relationship during this time of year.
There's also 'Hermione's Second Childhood with Snape'. It's a unique take on the concept. The story shows how Hermione's deaging affects not only her relationship with Snape but also how she views the wizarding world all over again. The author creates a lot of heart - warming and sometimes tense moments between the two characters as they navigate this strange new situation.
One interesting Hermione and young Snape fanfiction could be 'Time's Anomaly'. In it, Hermione accidentally travels back in time and meets a young Snape. Their interactions are filled with tension as Hermione tries to understand the roots of Snape's complex personality. Another good one is 'A Different Perspective' where Hermione is tasked with mentoring young Snape in a magically - altered Hogwarts scenario. It's fascinating to see how their relationship develops despite their age and background differences.
I recall a fanfiction titled 'Snape's Healing Touch for Hermione'. In this one, Snape discovers Hermione has a rare magical illness. He takes it upon himself to find a cure. The story is really interesting as it not only focuses on the healing process but also on the growing understanding and respect between the two characters.
