Summary
Snape doesn’t like being frogmarched into teaching Potter Occlumency. Is it unfair? Maybe. But he doesn’t care.
The Dark Lord was not a book, to be opened at will. Neither was a child. But when the spell snapped back, Severus didn't find weak spots to exploit, instead he found himself swallowed whole by a life he had spent fifteen years despising.
A disastrous backlash during Occlumency drags Severus Snape headfirst into Harry Potter’s mind and trapping him inside the boy's memories from the very beginning.
Suddenly, Severus is living Harry's life and has to feel his emotions. The impossible warmth of Lily’s love and the affection of James; ten miserable years in a broom cupboard, and the awe of a lonely child's first steps into the magical world.
Riding along with the boy he swore was an arrogant, spoiled celebrity, Severus is forced to face raw truths he’s spent decades avoiding: the bitter reflection of his own cruelty, and the quiet, unbreakable grace of Lily’s son.
This is inspired by the Star Trek episode 'The Inner Light' where Picard lives a whole lifetime in one single moment after being hit with an energy beam.

Summary
Summer 1976, after Severus and Lily's fifth year. Their friendship didn't fall apart, on the contrary: Severus confessed his feelings for Lily and they became a couple. But summer isn't what Severus dreamt it to be - Tobias Snape has turned his son's holidays into a living hell. Will Severus survive till the next school year? Will Lily and her family be able to save him in time?
While this story explores difficult themes of child abuse and sexual violence, it is ultimately a tale of recovery, resilience, and love. Explicit scenes in the early chapters are clearly marked with warnings, so you can bypass them if you wish. As the narrative progresses, the focus shifts towards Severus and Lily’s journey through the trials of the First Wizarding War.
