Normally I would run screaming if I were confronted with a fic where Snape (even as a teenager!) takes care of wounded animals, and Sirius is this much of a sweetie. But this... You hooked me right away with the clever writing, and then it was so quirky and funny with the random zoophilia and Snape's bullheaded obsession with Lily (who'd love him if only she would talk to him!). I fell in love with this fic, and I love it still. You did a brilliant job of mixing humor with poignant moments (especially at the end), and the Old School characterization worked for me in a way it never has before. You deserve big buckets full of WIN. :D
