I would like to make it clear, however, that A Nick in Time and Growing Pains (two of my very favorite Snarry stories by Tiranog) played no part in this story. In fact, I take exception to the suggestion that this story is at all 'deliberately similar' to either of them. The only similarity I'm aware of is that the Snape I wrote here is young. The way he gets there, the other people involved in the story, and the fact that this is a time travel fic and not a de aging fic makes this a very different tale. Given Cluegirl's request, I feel that it would have been difficult to avoid having young!Snape, so I included him.
In the future I would urge you to be careful when making such comparisons because many writers may not be disposed to take such a suggestion well.
