A Nick In Time, by Tira Nog
Title: A Nick In Time
Author: Tira Nog
Rating: PG-13
Story Link: http://inkstain.inkquill.net/isf/archiv
Author’s Livejournal:tiranog
Author’s summary: Cautious Snape sleeps with his wand under his pillow and awakes to unforseen results.
Length: novella
Reviewer:painless_j
A Nick in Time is an absolutely wonderful fic on the whole and, in my opinion, the best of those that explore the de-aging plot. There's a sort of spell accident (but not quite) that turns Hogwarts professors Snape and Potter to their seven-year-old selves. Predictably, they happen to have very different characters and attitudes that are bound to cause conflicts (Snape's in particular) and create all kinds of interesting situations. I love how Tira Nog reflects certain features of the adult Harry and Severus in their childhood selves, with enough differences not to make them seem 'adults in children's bodies' as it often happens with this type of plot.
The story is so kind and full of real, true humanity that it can't leave you unmoved. You'll see what Severus needs to thaw and what would make Harry not shy away from relationships. You'll meet adult Hermione and Ron and learn about Hogwarts life 'behind the scenes' and about elementary education in the Wizarding world. You'll see Snape chase butterflies with a mesh butterfly net, and believe me, it looks good! And what is most important, you'll get charged with love to get you going for months. Lovely, kind and clever story, with a warm, sexy sequel full of wonderful magic!
