Title: Timely Actions
Author: psyfic
Team: Snitch
Genre(s): Time-Travel
Prompt(s): Doppelganger, Coming Home
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: NC-17; Highlight if you wish to know: * NC-17, some very mild SS/LE and HP/HG (if you squint) on the road to SS/HP, de-aged Snape (he is 17 for the sexy Snarry bits, but if that is a problem, you can ignore the epilogue -- it's not needed for the full story), wet-dreams, a touch of humiliation, wanking, h/c, angst, bj, fingering, face shot, bottom!Snape. This story is loosely canon compliant except for Rowling's crapilogue epilogue.*
Word Count: 25,200
Author Notes/Disclaimers/Betas: Memory is such a fluid thing that if you ask ten people to recall an accident they just witnessed, each will give a different account, focusing on different things. Even in our own memories when we recollect events, we often focus on totally different aspects of the same event, not recalling it exactly as it happened at different times. So I used this device, not quoting canon moments verbatim, but providing a flavour of the moment, if you will. However, if this troubles you, call it writer's privilege, or if you prefer, think of it as eddies in the time stream. (someone should fetch him out). There is a tiny homage to Minerva as she is portrayed by the redoubtable Dame Maggie Smith in HBP. Speaking of Dames, did you hear about Dame Judi's recent sizzling rebuttal? That's so bloody brilliant, I'd like a tee shirt of that saying. This fic is dedicated to regan_v, jin_fenghuang, dementordelta, ellid and accioslash for their extraordinary kindness, as well as all those I met at the Azkatraz Snarry meet-up. If you are one of the people I met, I apologise for any curtness and/or brevity; it was not you, it was me and the pain/exhaustion levels I was experiencing. Lastly, a lot of credit for this fic has to go to my wonderful (and forbearing) spouse chazpure, who is, quite simply, the most amazing, talented and beautiful person I know.

That all said... enjoy!



Summary: First, Severus had to make sure Harry died. Now he has to make sure Harry lives.
