I was asked to name my most favourite fic in my Slashcast interview. Of course I named two, but this fic was one of those two -- most favourite, most beloved of all slash HP fics that I've ever read. Delta's stories are a blessing on the whole, so warm and humane they are.

This story is chan, but if you don't read it because you don't read chan on principle, you'll lose much more than you'll gain holding on to those principles. If you don't read chan because it squicks you, this is your chance of reading a non-squicky chan, because I can't imagine a less squicky fic in general.

The story is loving, warm, amusing; this is my ideal comfort reading that lets me believe that everything's all right with the world and mankind when I'm depressed and can see no light in the end of the proverbal tunnel.

So, Snape has to marry a very yong, pre-pubescent Harry. Who, having trusted him when Snape came to take him from the Dursleys, stubbornly keeps to his "misplaced" (as Snape sees it) trust and liking. Besides, Harry's a curious boy. Given a taste of intimacy once (by necessity, so activate the bond), he keeps wanting to learn more. And of course he asks Snape to teach him. Repeatedly. And of course Snape doesn't comply. He's Snape, what would you expect! So all the initiative comes from the curious imp Harry. But in the end, who could withstand the charm and insistence of such a child? So, of course, Snape teaches him, cursing his own weakness.

Amazing fic, sexy and sweet.
