I really liked how this wasn't exactly time-travel, but it's a Harry/Young Snape story. Very original concept, how he ended up there. It's always interesting to read Snape before he's become so embittered, and to read a story like this, where Harry has something to do with changing that was satisfying. Really was afraid when Hermione couldn't find Harry in his bed--sort of reminded me of Back To the Future when Marty's family started to fade from the picture--something had to be done, and Harry was really very lucky that she discovered what was happening; otherwise, he might've ended up 'stuck' without a choice. In the end, though, having to make that choice was what would make it all work, I think, so far as Harry and Snape were concerned.

Enjoyed the inclusion of Harry's friends, their conversations, and especially Albus in the Marauders' time. It sort of messes with my mind, thinking that another Harry will be born, and who will actually fight Voldemort?

Well-written, and once I started reading, I was propelled onward! Great job!

	This is a lovely fic! I really enjoyed it, and I read it with this terrible fear that it would have a tragic ending but hurrah, it didn't. I want to know more, and the thought of the time-loop makes my brain hurt, and I am thinking about it after I finished reading, which is always a good thing. Excellent work! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Beautifully done! I love how Harry decided to change things and how Severus ended up taking Harry's changes a step further. The build up between Harry and Severus made Harry's choice in the end seem so natural. It really was quite passionate and hot even though the plot didn't focus so much on sex. Really wonderful.

	Oh, this was very nicely done. I like it when Severus and Harry are the same age, and this was a unique way of doing that. I bet Severus figures out how to let Harry visit the other time, now and then. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What a cleverly conceived and well executed story! I'm still a bit worried about what these changes to the timeline mean, but I'm so pleased that Severus (and Harry) finally get a chance to share a happy relationship. Nicely done! (Reply to this) (Thread)
