It isn't always clear to me, where exactly in a fic where the hook's been set. I believe you did it with this: Severus," she called out. "Severus. Look at me…" And that was that, I couldn't stop.
Snape of course remained the same, until a peacetime world and love changed him. I adored how you fiddled with the canon universe; Lily was the strong compassionate woman I've always pictured, but the character I was most taken with was your Harry--even at 17, not afraid to stand up to Snape, and mature enough to know what he wanted and take steps to get it.
A beautiful love story, with well-placed UST. And I appreciated that 'wishing on the star'. I knew that works!
Wonderful story, Dragon. You've done us all proud! ROARRR!!!
