Today, I spent a lot of time looking for a good Snape/Lily fic... And honestly, a lot of them sucked. They were just too short, or lacking in correct grammar, or badly written, or just had a stupid plot. I don't like Snape/Lily stories that are too AU or OOC. But they have to have some sort of sense of requited love... even if it has to have tragic events that make it impossible.
So after several failures, I stumbled upon A Life Worth Dying For... and it's pretty awesome. It starts off canon, gets into some sweet moments that we'd really like to happen, and starts to confuse you. It'll give you a lot of "What if?" questions... and you'll really think about the complexities of time and space and... stuff.
There's 14 chapters so far, the last one having been published 3 days ago... so there's more to come. I love that people can take this world and these characters and put them into their own story... and actually continue on for this long, instead of hardly writing a few hundred words. Some might call us nerds, but I call us awesome.
Really, you should read this if you're a Snape/Lily fan. As long as you don't mind non-canon, I'm sure you'll love it!
Oh, very good...Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you. 'Links are transparent.' http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6723844/1/A_Life_Worth_Dying_For
