    Summary

    Harry had never heard music. If he was asked, he would say there was music in the way ballerinas moved the one time he saw them on the telly when Vernon had fallen asleep and left it on, a slow kind of music when he was cleaning all day and his movements were steady and repetitive, and a wonderful music in the hands of skilled signers as they conversed in British Sign Language. See, Harry Potter was deaf. You might think that he developed the disability due to abuses from his brutish muggle guardians, the Dursleys, but he had been born that way and, quite frankly, didn’t consider it a disability at all. His Deafness was part of who he was, and he wasn’t ashamed of it the way he was of his scrawny frame or ill fitting clothing. At the very least, it meant he almost never had to hear the Dursleys yelling at him.

    Summary

    The boy appeared as a small, crumpled figure in the cupboard, barely illuminated by the ghostly spell. His wild, unruly black hair stood out even in the dim light, and his broken glasses perched crookedly on his nose. He was painfully thin, his clothes hanging off his frame like sacks. Severus’s sharp gaze lingered on his face—too young, too frail. The boy should have been around seven but looked no older than five.
    ~~~
    This is a story about Severus Snape discovering compassion and affection in the most unexpected place—a small, silent boy who never spoke a word but conveyed entire stories through the depth of his actions, and the emotions in his gaze. It’s a tale of two scarred souls, each carrying their own burdens, finding solace, connection, and healing in each other’s presence.

    This is a story that’s almost entirely fluff with angst and just a sprinkle of plot.

    Summary

    Harry Potter thought post-war life would be boring.

    Instead, he ends up a single dad hiding out in Grimmauld Place, armed with nothing but a baby, some bad coping skills, and a truly cursed house.
    When Teddy’s accidental magic flings them both back to 1979, Harry has questions. Like:

     

    How does one babysit a shapeshifting toddler in the 70s?

    And importantly — is it illegal to kill a soon to be dead Death Eater before they canonically die?
    (Asking for a friend.)

    Time is broken. Harry’s patience is broken. Teddy’s diapers are also probably broken.
    This can only end well.
