This fic was truly a Snarry masterpiece, and I will read it over and over again. While deaged!Snape is a proper paradigm in our community, this one has a real freshness to it, from Harry struggling with a good case of OMG!Gaynow, to Snape trying to abandon his old patterns. I've never seen anyone really tackle the idea that Snape would still feel like a Death Eater, but yes, of course he would! He would still be the petty boy who embraced Voldemort, but Harry would respond to him as the Snape that saved them all.
In a way, that's why I was thrilled with Snape regaining his memories. If Harry could love him as a DE teen, he could certainly love the man who sacrificed so much for so long to do what is right.
I knew it would be a difficult road, to get Snape to accept the possibility of loving a student. I loved the wooing: the gifts were very Slytherin-appropriate. I loved that Harry willingly gave up his time to brew so they could spend time together. I ADORED the ending.
I just can't thank you enough for this great story. I know I will read this multiple times.
