I really liked 'The Unlikely Alliance'. Here, they work together to solve a mystery in Hogwarts that threatens the safety of the students. Hermione's research skills combined with Snape's experience in the darker arts prove to be a powerful combination. It shows how they can put aside their differences for the greater good.
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.
I'm not sure of a specific title, but in general, such fanfics often explore how Snape's strict and sometimes harsh nature in the original series could be amplified in a way that traumatizes Hermione. Maybe look for ones that focus on their interactions during her time at Hogwarts.
One interesting fanfiction could be 'Snape's Surprise'. In this, Hermione's sarcasm towards Snape really spices up their interactions. It starts when Hermione challenges Snape on one of his particularly tough Potions assignments. She uses her sharp wit and sarcasm to question his methods, which leads to a series of events where Snape has to re - evaluate his view of her.
There's also 'A Different Kind of Bond'. In this fanfic, the story explores how Hermione's intelligence and Snape's deep knowledge of magic bring them together in a way that leads to marriage. It has some great character development and plot twists that keep you hooked.
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.
Yes, there are some really interesting ones. Some fanfictions explore their relationship in a post - war Hogwarts setting. They might start with Hermione realizing that there was more to Snape than she initially thought. For example, she could be researching in the library and come across some old potions notes of Snape's that make her see his genius in a new light.
Well, another one could be 'Hermione's Unforeseen Guardian'. In this story, Snape's care for Hermione is a bit of a secret at first. He quietly aids her in her research and when she gets into trouble with some dark wizards who are after her knowledge, Snape steps in to save her. It shows a different side of Snape, one that is more compassionate and protective towards Hermione.
One interesting fanfiction could be 'A Different Kind of Magic'. In it, the author beautifully portrays the budding and somewhat forbidden love between young Snape and Hermione. The story delves deep into their personalities, showing how Snape's brooding nature and Hermione's inquisitive mind interact in unexpected ways. It also creates a unique Hogwarts setting where their relationship develops against the backdrop of the wizarding world's rules and traditions.
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.
I recall a story titled 'Snape's Watchful Eye on Hermione'. It shows Snape noticing Hermione's potential early on. He starts leaving little hints and protective spells around her. The story also delves into Snape's complex feelings, as he sees a bit of himself in Hermione's thirst for knowledge and her outsider status among some of the Gryffindors.
