Updated. Mostly transitioning chapter, and a cliffhanger at the end. Thankfully it doesn't seem we'll be waiting much more than a month for the next chapter judging by the wait for this one.

 

Finally, it seems that conflict is entering the story. Though not much actually happens in this chapter plot wise, it sets the scene for a more independent Snape, as well as more Death Eater activity. Looks like the might be some interesting times ahead.

 

It's good.

I'm not normally a fan of Snape/Lily, mostly because they almost always end with James having a child called Harry Potter that Snape thinks is exactly the same as the Harry he knew- in the redo stories- minus Lily's eyes.

I liked how Vernon was characterized.

 

Cause of explosion was sorta what I expected, though honestly kinda lame. Sorta filler chapter, honestly... though I guess the relatively consistent updates make up for it.

 

Yes, filler chapter was especially annoying after the last chapter set up so well for at least a little action. Conflict needed here, because as much as I love the premise, the one thing the fic needs less of is 'Snape gets more much needed love', which is what this chapter basically came to.

 

I suppose that an update to this is a fitting present for my 1000th post, as well as my first donation to DLP.

Mostly fluffy with (very) mild smut. We should be seeing future updates faster, according to ANs and LJ.

 

And now I wonder if this curse can be easily undone by the caster or we will see Snape regret his decision later on.

 

If the curse can't be undone we may see Lily leaving Severus because she wants kids. I really don't think Severus thought it through very well. Without doubt this will have serious repercussions later in the story.

 

I'm pretty sure a prophecy doesn't devise the circumstances of its own happening.

 

No need to bother with curses or potions, just.. adjust the aim a little..

 

Hehe. Relevant.

 

Well now, this is interesting. It doesn't seem possible to subvert a prophecy already spoken. Of course, the prophecy in question hasn't been spoken yet, so it may be changed in some manner. I think that the attack on the club was rather conspicuous; I wonder if the author is going to try and apply that as a "thrice defied" point.

I have to wonder if Snape's attempts to curse himself won't backfire in some way. There are legends about how ancient heroes, in an attempt to defy a prophecy, end up fulfilling it in horrible ways--Oedipus, I'm sure we're all aware, is a prime example in this. I wonder if Snape's alteration of the timeline, and interference in creating Harry Potter, won't force fate to step in and act to create him. I could easily see something along the lines of Lily getting raped and impregnated that way, to force the conception of this child. I'm very interested in what the author has planned in this regard.

4.5/5, I never thought that I'd enjoy such a snape-centric fic this much.

 

I don't think there is a need for "fate" to create Harry Potter as he's not really mentioned in the prophecy as anyone who meets the criteria could be the BWL, so someone could just substitute for him. Also as I doubt Snape will tell Voldermort that there is a prophecy, I wonder what the consequences of that will be?

 

Updated. Quality, as always, is good. Some inevitable consequences fall out. Author said updates would be coming fast now, which is awesome.

 

Yeah. Didn't seem like much really happened. Still, good quality.
