Hello Elena, I have been sent by the Great Salazar Slytherin himself to spread Holiday Cheer to all Snakes this year!! =P

 

I was so excited to read this Severus/Lily fic! I cannot believe that it hasn't gotten more attention, because it really is quite a lovely scene that you've created here between the two of them. To be honest, Idk WHAT I would have done with that prompt, lol! But you woven everything that you were given for this challenge into the story so nicely. Very well executed! 

 

As much as I love Jilly as a pairing, it's so hard not to think about how easily Lily could have ended up with Snape, had he only made some better choices. Their lives were so intertwined in the beginning, and they really did have such a beautiful and unique friendship in the beginning. So I do love reading stories like this that the time to explore what-might-have-been between the two of them. 

 

This line here was my favorite in the whole story:

"You are always just out of my reach." He said, as his eyes bored into Lily's. "Here, you live in the Muggle world and I live in the Magical one. At school, you are a Gryffindor and I am a Slytherin. It doesn't matter how I look at it, you just always manage to slip through my fingers."

I feel as though it really captures the essence of the Snape/Lily ship so well. ♥

 

And then there was the kiss!! That kiss was so beautiful, OMG!! And I love how Severus so awkwardly interrupted it by dropping the milk, haha!! That was PERFECT!! And Lily's girly reaction to the mess was so accurate, and I just loved how Severus was like meh, and then shrugged it off and kept going, lol! Like, seriously Elena, that whole scene was so perfect and amazing!! Everything flowed so well, and the writing was excellent!! I simply cannot gush enough about it!! =)

 

Thanks so much for writing such a fabulous Severus/Lily one-shot. I really do hope that it did well in the Challenge you wrote it for. I certainly enjoyed this piece quite a bit!! Happy Holidays, Elena!! I hope you had a GREAT time Celebrating with your family this Christmas!!!

Awww, thank you :) 

This is one of my favourites. I love the idea of Snape/Lily and always felt that if a man can love as much and as deeply as Snape can, then he is the good guy and every now and then - he deserves to win.
