It's a lovely story, with so many elements that snagged me from the beginning: deaged Snape, Albus and Aberforth's ongoing estrangement and resolution, the back story to the Prince family, especially Adelaide, Harry's adventures with Sam, Andromeda and Teddy (especially Harry's love for the boy) and of course, the relationship that formed between Kiernan and Harry. You wove quite a story here, forgiveness on so many fronts, and the prominent role of Aberforth and the Hog's Head made the tale a unique and satisfying one. I just love that picture in my mind's eye of Harry and Snape, both the same age.
