Review:
At some point in his seventh year (I think), Harry gets captured by Voldemort and is inadvertently turned into a baby in the ensuing duel. Severus breaks cover to rescue Harry and bring him back to Hogwarts. Now that Harry is helpless and Severus is the target of every Death Eater in Great Britain, Dumbledore bundles them up and sends them both to a safe house indefinitely. Bad enough that Severus finds himself taking care of an infant; things get exponentionally worse as Harry starts to grow up much faster than he should.

Now this is what I'm talking about: a cute kid that isn't perfect, a man who takes care of said kid to the best of his ability (and yet who gets tired of the job as all full-time parents must), and all sorts of emotional bloodletting as Harry and Severus have just enough time to get attached before Harry starts growing up and begins to remember his previous (far less amicable) relationship with his potions master. Plus, you have a *fantastic* version of Snape. Easily one of my favorite Snapes of all time.

Angst, drama, and, okay, a bit of mush results in a story that has a little something for everyone. Check it out, even if you aren't usually a fan of kid!fic.
