Summary
An anthology of one-shots tracing what might have been between Lily Evans and Severus Snape, if they had chosen each other.
Recent chapters:
ch. 3: Early 1980. Lily and Severus hide from the war, then from each other, and finally from despair.
ch. 4: October 1975. Lily spends five days convincing Severus to visit Hogsmeade, and one afternoon learning she shouldn't have asked and that firewhisky solves nothing.
ch. 5: 1991 school year. Professor Snape (née Evans) is faced with James Potter's and Marlene McKinnon's child, her own avoidance, and the difference between caring and actually doing something.
ch. 6: August 1979. Lily and Severus try fleeing the Wizarding War on forged passports for France with Majorca as a stopover, and accompanied by the Dursley's, they discover that the hardest border to cross is the one between leaving and staying.
ch. 7: July 1992. A long-awaited Hogwarts letter arrives at Spinner's End and the day Lily has been planning for eleven years takes a hard left somewhere between Diagon Alley and teatime, and doesn't come right again until midnight.
These serve as epilogues to Septennium and Novennial, but can work as standalone pieces.

Summary
Her remains exhumed as part of Voldemort's grotesque resurrection ritual, Lily Potter is inadvertently brought back to life by unknown magic. She is twenty-one, a widow, and mother to a rebellious teenage boy. Bafflingly, her ex-best friend, Severus Snape, is said to have worked tirelessly to protect her son over the years, yet wants nothing to do with her. For his part, Harry Potter, at first overjoyed to have his mother back alive, begins to chafe under her authority and worry she has feelings for the teacher he so despises.
