Fics like Curse of the Selkie

Severus is five when he discovers that his mother is a selkie. Severus doesn’t have a selkie skin. His mum says he was born with one, just like she was, but it was taken from her by his father. At eleven, when Severus receives his Hogwarts letter, he is beyond ecstatic. Finally, a chance to be free in a way his mum hasn’t been for over a decade. Unfortunately for Severus, Hogwarts will lead the Slytherin to a fate which parallels his mum's own. “You’re doing this to me,” accuses James. Severus sucks in a deep quivering breath of air before, abruptly, he’s apologizing. “I’m sorry,” he says. “I didn’t mean…” “It doesn’t matter what you mean to do,” bites out James. “Only that you are doing it.” “I’m sorry,” Severus repeats. He’s still in James' hold and he wants to cry. All these years he’s vowed to himself to never be like his mother yet here he is, trapped. Here he is, allowing himself to be molested by someone who hates him and apologizing for it. If Severus attains his skin back he may very well burn the thing to free himself of this curse.
