YAY! I love, love, LOVE this fic. I truly adore the alternate realities and all the things that could have been and yet still weren't 'right'. Most especially the absolute canon truth that Severus had to beg for Lily's life for Harry to have survived. I shuddered at the prospect of Harry as Voldemort's pet. But of course the future is just so spectacular-Severus escaping the obscene memories *giggles* and the way he's just desperate for Harry to get home by the end. Perfect ending, darling. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of watching you work. *hugs* Brava!
