This is great too!
Ohh, I'll check this out, too! Thank you so much for all the recommendations! <3
This was also written by Heatherlly, the creator of this forum. I hope that one day he will come back to this shot and create another great story based on it!
@heatherlly 😉 *wink, wink* hahaha :p

I'm the author of Obscura Nox Animae.
As for Lily/James… their relationship is past tense and really isn't much of a factor in the story. I only included it because I wanted the story to be canon compliant and for Harry to exist… I also didn't like the idea of Severus being Lily's only relationship. We learn from our mistakes, especially when it comes to love and romance. Choosing the wrong person can teach us how to fully appreciate the right one, etc.
That's what the story is really about. It's two people who both made wrong choices and are lucky enough to get another chance. It isn't easy, and of course there's lots of angst, but if you're interested in a story where Severus and Lily are truly, deeply in love and fight like hell for each other/their relationship, Obscura is the way to go.
You characterized your story on point! It's hard to accept it, but this thread was unfortunately needed in this story. Fortunately, it can be said that James passed away in Lily's life like a shooting star or field grass. :D Thanks to the many difficulties that stood in the way of Lily and Sev, we received a wonderful story that will provide many days of entertainment (especially if you read it at work, avoiding the watchful eye of the school principal :D). God, it's good that you gave Severus a second chance @heatherlly! I can't forgive Rowling for this, even though making him miserable in the canon was necessary to build Harry's story. I have the impression (and I've read a few books in my life) that only sad stories are deep and good. Like human life. However, I have no objections to Sev and Lily being each other's only partners in life. :) Although it often flattens the story. However, everyone needs to read a story like this from time to time. Mermaid886, who publishes on Wattpad and Ao3, excels at such stories. At her @zombiepotter04 you will find what you like best (but based on your previous comments, I assume that you already know this author). Have you read it?: https://www.wattpad.com/story/273609198-lily%27s-little-prince-a-snily-story Maybe trivial, perhaps unambitious for some, but it's a story that brings me comfort (it is even the sequel doesn't end as bad as expected).
Stories like these are probably the overall best ones indeed, and, considering how well you write @heatherlly , I think it probably is an amazing one. And, considering canon, stories like these are probably also the ones where Snily shines best, even if it's tragic. But, considering the crybaby I am when reading fanfiction with characters I love, I try to protect my heart a little. :'). Considering this, I have probably fallen in love with the wrong characters/ship, considering they come out of a canon story that ends in tragedy. However, it has been 6 years (for me) and I still cannot let them go. *sigh* <3
Also, yes, I have read most of Mermaid886's stories before, including "Lily's Little Prince". But thank you for your recommendation still @robaku90 ! I really appreciate it! <3

Considering what you're telling me about Lily and Sev's relationship in your story, I am really tempted to give it a try (So, I probably will)! <3 I know from another story of yours that you are a really good writer and that I do really enjoy your writing style and now that I have this extra info about the story, I can go in all the way! Yay! Thank you for your reply! <3
Heatherlly writes really well and even a translator can't ruin it, believe me. :) @zombiepotter04 so run fast and read "Obscura..." ASAP! Although maybe not all at once, because you won't find another story this good (although the one you recommended is also wonderful!!!). But you can always read stories a hundred times, that's true too. :D I like Lily in her, she's a strong woman and she loves Severus. This is a well-constructed character. Not like the damsel in distress like in the old stories, waiting to be saved. She takes her fate into her own hands. In addition, you have a very neatly woven canon here. I must admit, I haven't read all the Harry Potter books (and I probably won't, because I can't come to terms with Severus' fate in it), but thanks to Heatherlly, I already know this story very well. :D
That is all very lovely to hear! <3 Once real life calms down a bit, I will sure pick it up for a good reading session! 😀

I am ZombiePotter04, (but you can call me Zombie, too
) a 20(F) year old and I am from the Netherlands. I have been a long time Snily fan, basically since I discovered our dear Sev had been in love with Lily in Deathly Hallows (I only discovered HP in 2018, though. So, I guess it hasn't been that long, haha).
I love reading Snily fanfics and looking at Snily art (however, I am not a writer or artist myself, as I believe myself to be not that good at such things. :p)
Considering Snily fanfics, though, I am really quite picky (oops). My go-to Snily fics are fics where our dear Sev and Lily are madly in love with each other (which means Lily is as in love with Sev as he is with her). And no outside romances.
I also hate James Potter. I love to read fanfics where he is the villain, though (or where he constantly tries to get in between Sev and Lily but fails miserably cuz Lily has 0% interest in him). I also like fanfics where he isn't present/doesn't exist well enough.
(Snape has suffered in canon, so James gets to suffer in fanon, hehehehe)
The reason I've been mentioning all these preferences is because I have run out of fics to read that fit these categories and have been unable to find any new ones, so if anyone here knows of some good fics, don't hesitate to recommend/self-promo!
Aside from the fanfic stuff, I would love to get to know you all and see how you keep Sev's (and sometimes Lily's) legacies alive on this site (so happy that a place like this exists omggggg) so yay!
Toodles!
ZombiePotter04.Due to the fact that I have similar tastes: I love Snily, especially the ones where Lily is not mean to Sev and rejects him like in the canon, and I hate James (may the fires of hell consume him), I warmly welcome you!
I will look for new stories with you. Why don't you check out my list on Ao3 and Wattpad? Maybe there's something you'll like?
Hi! Thank you for the warm welcome as well! <3 Also, good to know that you have an AO3 and Wattpad account! Are their names the same as your username on this site? I definitely want to check them out, so thanks! <3
Yes, the name is the same. Only in my profile picture I have a salamander instead of Snily. :) Send you links?
Ahh OK! Then I already found your AO3 one! Cool! If with your question you mean to ask me if you should send me a link to one of your accounts, then maybe a link to your Wattpad account?
I'm glad you found me. :) Here's the link to Wattpad:
https://www.wattpad.com/user/Robaku90
I don't write anything, but maybe my reading list will show you something you haven't read before.

If you are good at using translator, I can give you links to Snily in Polish. This is how I discovered the world of stories in English.I'd be open to that. Which translator do you use?
I use the name of the sticker Google Translate. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=t%C5%82umacz+google If you use a phone, just take a screenshot (on Wattpad this is probably the only option, you can't copy text there - it's probably a form of protection against pirates. On Ao3 you can copy text normally). Then in the translation window, on the right side, there is an icon that you need to click. Then you just select the photo/screenshot that needs to be translated. And that's it! All that remains is to enjoy the new story. :D I also practiced on one story in Spanish. :D Sometimes it happens that the text after translation seems a bit "lame" (probably like my translation that you are reading now :D). Then you either have to post it a second time or use your own head and add this and that. Sometimes I read stories more "out of context". But it's still great fun!
Nice! Maybe I could try to translate the Polish stories that way. I know of another way to translate as well, so let me share that one with you in case you want to try that as well.
I am sure you've heard of ChatGPT before, considering the previous hype around it. And, while it has many flaws, I found that it seems to be pretty good at languages. It can sometimes even translate the "feeling" you are trying to translate. Like, instead of translating it "literally" word for word like Google Translate sometimes does, ChatGPT seems to look at the whole text first and then tries to write it like it was originally but in the chosen language to translate to.
I do not know if it knows Polish, but from experience I know it knows Dutch and considering not that many people speak that language, I think it may know Polish as well (but you'll have to test that out yourself).
You can just start typing in your native language in ChatGPT and see if it responds back to you in Polish or not.
I haven't used it with fanfic yet, (except with a French book summary, but that wasn't fanfic, haha) but I experimented with Dutch to English and English to Dutch (considering I know both languages) and I found the results to be quite good and possibly even better than Google Translate!
What I usually do is:
If you want to translate from your native language to, in this case, English, tell ChatGPT this:
In Polish: Translate this text to English for me: "[INPUT POLISH TEXT YOU WANT TO TRANSLATE]"If you want to translate something back from English to Polish:
Translate this English text to Polish for me: "[INPUT OR PASTE ENGLISH TEXT]"
You basically have to talk to it like it is a human, but with very clear instructions too. You have to find a balance, but when you do, it can probably do a lot for you, haha!
If you decide to try it out, I hope it speaks Polish and is able to translate fanfic for you. I will still try your way too, considering I haven't done it that way before, just to try it out and see if it fits me!
Hope you got something out of all this info and good luck either way! Also, thank you for the info as well! <3
Thank you very much for this manual! I'll try it! This can give good results! As long as ChatGPT covers the Polish language. :DDDD
On the Facebook forum, the girls paste their conversations from the GPT chat, where they talk to Severus. It's a bit scary for me, I'm almost 34 years old and I don't understand these technical innovations at all. 😀 Artificial intelligence has so much potential... But it's a bit scary!
I will try your idea and let you know the results. Using a translator and sometimes guessing the meaning of a statement exercises your mind. 😀

If you are good at using translator, I can give you links to Snily in Polish. This is how I discovered the world of stories in English.I'd be open to that. Which translator do you use?
With commands in Polish, I'll start with the mirriel forum and the text "Summertime" by labrui:
http://forum.mirriel.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22224&hilit=summertime
Severus is quite as Snape here (sad, grumpy etc.), he doesn't have good intentions at the beginning, but then it only gets better and more interesting.
There isn't much of James in "Summertime", although he does appear in a few places. But luckily Lily quickly sells him a kick in the ass, you'll be glad you did.
Harry Potter is not born here either, yeah!!!
One interesting fact: Lily is like a pathologist here, examining the bodies of Death Eater victims. It's really interesting to read!You can paste "Summertime" into the translator piece by piece, it will be quite easy.
Another text worth reading is: "Because of you", written by LittlePrincess0906:
https://www.wattpad.com/1014591894-because-of-you-prolog
Not everyone likes time travel, but that's what it does here. After Sev's death, he returns to his time at Hogwarts. I really like this story.
Among the spicier stories, I will paste links to Suzzuiiiiiiii's works:
https://www.wattpad.com/story/299645794-nic-stracego-snily-severus%2Blily-hp-18%2B (I like these very much ;P)
https://www.wattpad.com/story/294763778-sama-snily-severus%2Blily-hp
https://www.wattpad.com/story/315021097-amnezja-snily-severus%2Blily-hp-18%2B (also cool ;))
https://www.wattpad.com/story/296552796-przygoda-na-jedn%C4%85-noc-snily-severus%2Blily-hp-18%2B (here the action does not take place in the world of magic, it is more of a romance novel, but worth!)
SuzzuiiiiiiiiI's language, even in Polish, is quite, hmmm, lame, there are repetitions, but - that's not the point, right? ;P
The author is not writing new Snily yet, which is a pity.
Maybe he'll change his mind one day.
However, the best one in my opinion was Snily written in Polish by LadyPrince2001. It is titled "More than a signature":
https://www.wattpad.com/story/190508679-%F0%9D%90%96%F0%9D%90%88%C4%99%F0%9D%90%82%F0%9D%90%84 %F0%9D%90%89-%F0%9D%90%8D%F0%9D%90%88%C5%BC-%F0%9D%93%B9%F0%9D%93%B8%F0%9D %93%AD%F0%9D%93%B9%F0%9D%93%B2%F0%9D%93%BC
NOTE: I won't spam, but - for a moment it seems like a Snape x OC pairing. But nothing could be further from the truth!!! At first Lily was getting on my nerves (she attacks and pushes Sev away - I don't like that), but then the action picks up pace. James is angry here. And that's good, I always knew he was an asshole!
This story has many parts (these are my favorites), thanks to which the action moves slowly and the characters are not flat, so to speak, they have time to develop. Lucius turns out to be good here (I like this theme too). And he makes delicious cherry vodka, i.e. liqueur with cherries (one of my favorite parts is when Lily gets drunk on it, it's really worth getting to this point).
There is even a second part of it ("More than Hope"), but unfortunately, despite being flooded with comments, the story has come to a standstill. :(((( I still hope that this will change. Here it is:
https://www.wattpad.com/story/257789557-%F0%9D%90%96%F0%9D%90%88%C4%99%F0%9D%90%82%F0%9D%90%84 %F0%9D%90%89-%F0%9D%90%8D%F0%9D%90%88%C5%BC-%F0%9D%93%B7%F0%9D%93%AA%F0%9D %93%AD%F0%9D%94%83%F0%9D%93%B2%F0%9D%93%AE%F0%9D%93%B3%F0%9D%93%AALadyPrince2001 also wrote "Obsession", but here, unfortunately, Lily manages to marry Potter.
https://www.wattpad.com/story/190168626-%F0%9D%93%9E%F0%9D%93%AB%F0%9D%93%BC%F0%9D%93%AE%F0%9D %93%BC%F0%9D%93%B3%F0%9D%93%AA-%F0%9D%93%A2%F0%9D%93%B7%F0%9D%93%B2%F0%9D% 93%B5%F0%9D%94%82-%F0%9D%93%A2%F0%9D%93%BD%F0%9D%93%B8%F0%9D%93%BB%F0%9D%94 %82
There is also a short story called "Tempus opportunum" by MedeagerSzalona on AO3 and Wattpad:
https://www.wattpad.com/1079100810-tempus-opportunum-snily-prolog (it's currently being written :)) Here we have time travel again and two Severuses! But Lily lets herself be dissuaded from marrying that bum James, ufff! I recommend it, the story is quite funny.
If I remember other good texts in Polish, I will paste them as well!
I can help with translation if something is unclear or illegible.
Aww, thank you so much for all these recommendations! I sure have a lot to check out now. And I love that! <3
Also, about the Polish language being for tough guys, I think I'd have to agree, considering my head almost starts to spin when I look at it, hahaha.
Some people say that the Polish language in speech resembles a broken, crackling radio or the hiss of a snake. There's something going on. The writing and declension of nouns and adjectives is even worse. :DDD

Dear! At the beginning, I was also annoyed by the fact that Lily married James, gave birth to Harry, etc., but - it's really worth persevering through these initial chapters to discover a wonderful story (which has so many wonderful chapters, I love long stories). When you get to chapter 34 (I'm just reading it for the thousandth time), your shoes will fall off, not to mention what happens next. :D <3 I don't want to spam, but later it will turn out that it wasn't entirely true in this story that Lily loved James with a great and crazy love. It's quite complex. She talks about it herself later. But you'll have to get there yourself, you'll see. :D The biggest plus - James is biting the dust here practically from the first chapter, great!!! :D It sounds bad, I know, but I really hate him and I'm not sorry about it! :D Lily here believes very much in Severus and trusts him. This is what tigers like best. Read as soon as possible, my dear! You will not be disappointed!
OMGGG Thank you so much for the explanation/summary! You do not know how much I love that! I am a really sensitive person, especially on the romantic front (at least with fiction). I do not know why, but whenever I read something romantically heartbreaking in fiction, it just hurts me so much, hahaha. Considering my heart has been broken by fanfic in the past when I did not expect it to, I am glad for summaries/reviews like yours! That makes sure I do not miss out on great stories like these! Thank you so much once again! <3
I understand you perfectly. It happened that I was reading some beautiful Snily, and suddenly at the end they returned to the canon. ;((((((((((((((((((( This is so terrible! Severus is rejected, I feel physical heartache. :( That I accept your point of view! But you will like this story, you will see. If only you can be patient with the length of this story.

*wink, wink* hahaha :p
Exactly. Maybe the Author will show us mercy. :3
Snily is the best pairing in my opinion, so I'm giving you a high five at this point. We're both in love then (I'm not going to change that, though, I only recognize Severitus because they're related to Snily :D). You're just very sensitive to love, that's good. The world today sucks so much in this regard, it's good that there are still people like you! <3
Mermaid886 has the most suitable stories for us, but you probably already know them all :(. However, I remembered another fanfic from someone else, take a look: https://archiveofourown.org/works/51087904 I liked it. :3
The author also wrote another dark Snily, but it will break your heart, like mine, so I won't give you the title. There, Lily is tormented by her father in the worst possible way and drags Severus into it. It seems to end the way we wanted, but this story blew me away. :( At some point I had to stop reading.
But there are different tastes.
Gionaspe aka. Giorgia, who also has an account here, is her friend, if I'm not mistaken.
