The Marauders have more enemies than just Severus Snape, who's rotten luck is about to change. His friendship with Lily will continue past fifth year.



This is a story not for the faint of heart. The word count will blow you away before you even get to the good part, the writing.
Lily is very immature, and almost disturbing in her careless ways. On the other hand, Snape's infatuation with her -  strong, then waning with his own fortunes shifting - is fiery and very in character. He is deeply flawed in his scheming ways, and certainly dark(ish).
And if you like the Marauders, stay away.

Severus makes his way into the world.

The only criticism I can bring up is the end. It just lacks a sort of... closure.

This is huge. And brilliant. Lily is sometimes a bit nuts, but the author claims it will make more sense in the end. Also, everything is told from Snape's perspective. In a way, it's normal that Lily would appear nuts to him at times. You can really overlook that part, because the story is full of riddles, sentimental parts, puberty issues, angst, hope, redemption, trust issues, friendship, and more. This is THE story to go for if you a) like the pairing b) are not sure about the pairing but want Snape to be happy c) don't care about the pairing but like clevver stories d) like confusing stories. It will confuse the hell out of you. But it's worth it. Every chapter is worth the read.

Beautiful story in which Snape "got" the girl. A few years later, but he did. Lily is independent and head-strong. They fit together very nicely. I quite enjoyed their dynamic.
