Inspired by a chance drabble on the theme of Severus as a Marauder, I decided to explore what might have happened if he had been. So far, I've written three stories, each of them still in the 'how he might have gotten there' stage:

Fic # 1
Title: Sorted Out of Order
Characters: Severus Snape, Lily Evans
Rating: G
Length: ~1,000 words
Summary:
An eternity passed before they finally called his name. Once he sat down, Severus kept as still as he could on the hard little stool, wishing he could delay what was coming somehow. He’d never thought of Gryffindor, for her. Ravenclaw would have been fine. Hufflepuff, manageable, but Gryffindor?

Fic # 2
Title: The Truce
Characters: Lily Evans, Severus Snape, OFC, James Potter, Sirius Black
Rating/Pairing: Teen/PG-13, gen
Length: ~9,600 words
Summary: By the third week of Severus’ first year as a Gryffindor, he’s used to Potter and Black; can’t stand them, but can’t stand up to them, either. When they raise the stakes, he realizes he has no option but to raise them right back.

Fic # 3
Title: Snap On The Train
Characters: Lily, Severus, OFC
Rating/pairing: G, gen
Length: ~800 words
Summary: There's nothing like a good game for measuring a person.
