Fics like Twelve Steps to Atonement

Betrayed and abandoned by everyone who should have loved him, half-yokai Severus falls to the dark side of his nature and gets drawn into the Death Eaters. Only when Lily's life is threatened does he realise the cost of what he has become. Love for his former friend and her son, who sees the truth of him despite everything, guides him to let his half-angelic side dominate his choices from then on out. Meanwhile, Harry won't be pushed out of Severus' life, war or no war, and, instead, he slowly begins to teach his friend, mentor, and someday-mate what it means to be loved. The angst level in this works like the books. It starts off relatively light and gets steadily darker as the years go on. By 7th year, it's rough going.
