Oh, this was beautiful! I'll admit, I don't often read Severus/Lily, but you've done a wonderful job-- and this was well worth reading! I really like how the two realities were juxtaposed against one another, and you can really feel Severus's confusion.

Excellent job! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

That was my honest to god first reaction. I even had to complete a Capcha thingy to post that.

I love this. I love this. I love this. I don't read a lot of Sev/Lily despite them being my favourite HP pairing because often I find their story too painful... and this was so wonderful.

So wonderful.

Hee hee. I'm really glad you enjoyed this! (Honestly, I feel that the best comments involve keyboard mashing. So I'm really honored.) I definitely know what you mean about not reading a lot of fics about them, though. So sad.

This is so beautiful and poignant! I love the parallels between each universe, and the sweetness of the Muggle one, and the way Severus has grown instead of staying bitter and depressed.

Thanks for sharing; this is going in my memories!

I'm honored you enjoyed it so much! Thank you!

Beautiful, really, really beautiful. Such a wonderful original idea.

[peskywhistpaw]

Thank you!

Oh, wow. Wow, wow, wow. I silently weep because I know that nothing I write in this little box can possibly convey how lovely and intelligent and poetic and just plain awesome this story is. So well done! Gold star for you.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to rummage through all your tags and check out the rest of your writing!

[peskywhistpaw]

Thank you so much! And trust me, anything you've written in that little box is much appreciated!

I have to admit, I kind of adore young Snape x Lily fic like woah. (Especially AUs where his life doesn't turn out to be a ubiquitous black hole of suck because dude.) Whenever I find a story of quality I feel the need to bombard the author with praise in the secret hopes of encouraging them to write more.

...oops. I totally just let the cat out of the bag, didn't I? :)

[peskywhistpaw]

Me too!

And, heh. Your icon is suspiciously appropriate. XD Actually, I have a couple of things planned (a possible ficmix focusing mostly on their childhood, and something inspired by a moment in this fic, actually, the bit where Severus remembers Lily kissing him at Christmas), so hopefully your praises won't be for naught. XD
