OH, SO BITTERSWEET. I always love the stories where I get to see tidbits of what could have been for both Lily and Severus.

I particularly loved this line: It was like walking down a long staircase, these moments of short, controlled falling.

Thank you for this; it was a gem to read.

Beautiful - and I especially love the touch about Harry deciding on Albus's middle name when he sees his son's eyes. It fits so perfectly.

This was beautiful! I like the way you divided your story in three parts and how it is both a little funny and very sad. I like your view of Snape, it is gentle and compassionate.

Aw!

I loved it~ great job! :)

"Your doom is nigh. I’ll ambush you with it once I find the right moment; I want maximum effect.”

That was hilarious! This was an extremely well-written and in-character story. I loved it!

Very nice story (too bad Albus Severus won't dare let anybody know what his middle name is--if Harry had to whisper about Snape after 19 years, I suspect he's still hated after all that time). But it fits.

GREAT!

Lovely!

Harry couldn't call the kid Severus Albus, of course, or he'd have gone through Hogwarts with "SAP" stencilled on his kit...

lovely story. i hated the end of the book when potter's son was named "albus severus". i couldn't stand it. it just didn't seem right. but i like how you built up to the moment of naming him. how lily chose it. how potter and ginny discussed it. i like that.
