Rejected Harry
This list isn’t really a rec list (although they are all great stories and favorites of mine), and it’s certainly not a comprehensive Rejected!Harry list. I have a special weakness for stories where Harry thinks he is being rejected by Severus. Occasionally, he truly is, but this only works for me if there is a happy ending to it. This list is for those scenes where your heart clenches, and you want to cry for Harry as he tries to hold it together, because really, as much as he hopes to be loved, he expects to be rejected. Sort of spoilery as a short description of each scene is given.
