I've got to tell you, I enjoyed this fic. Its hard to find good Snape/Lily fictions that are both hot and very believable. I'm sad that she didn't live longer, but that makes it more tragic, that he finally had her, for a brief time, but lost her anyway. And actually -almost- follows canon ;) I'll make a note, to others reading (or rereading), I can't help but think of the song 'Its All Coming Back To Me' by Celine Dion for this story's 'theme'. It fits so well, with Lily remembering how she cared about him, and the two of them opening their hearts (and bodies, lol) to one another. So perhaps when reading over their first love scene again, have it playing. ^.^ adds a lot of ambiance.

Wonderful! Humor and tragedy together in a mere eight chapters. "I'm catholic in my tastes." Indeed. I think you did an amazing job of really capturing that character, the Death Eater/Slytherin and the lost boy.

What a great way to look at this love story. You turned Snape into Severus with this one. I really, really enjoyed this pairing. I have a feeling though that you could make me believe he loved anyone you chose, you write him so well. Dark eroticism Severus Snape. Excellent work.

Poor Severus; nothing's ever allowed to go right for him, is it? Was so sad when he realised Lily was pregnant. *Sob*

I like the way it makes a more realistic explanation for his turning against Voldemort (and not being too impressed with Harry either).

This was a lovely story; every element was perfectly realised, and beautifully written too. Definitely looking forward to more from you; hope the ideas are coming thick and fast there.

Oh, happiness, an update! And the story goes on.

This is great - I can just imagine Snape's pictures of torment on the wall at Spinners End; I like how unimpressed he is at Lily's efforts to introduce a woman's touch. A bit of tension, a bit of angst, a lot of VERY HOT sex and a well-judged emotional moment at the end. This has it all.

And Snape is smokin' (literally)!

Wow. Did I mention that I love this story? I'm so happy there's going to be more. It's sexy AND funny and with a totally IC Snape - my favourite combination. So I'm glad you ran out of time (but sad it's nearly finished).

"Her body began to sum up non-verbally." Great line. His use of the Langlock was very good, as was his reading of Lily's irate thoughts. Mmm. Accio Bed, eh? Update soon!
