Deerst, this is getting more and more thrilling. Chilling even.
I like your use of Narrator speaking directly to the reader. I like your storyline and ideas. The pensieve scene was truly scary and well-written and Lily's characterisation - most interesting. I like it how we see different vision of reality. Remus believes James to be more gay than heterosexual. Lily wants to believe her husband heterosexual. And most likely James is simply capable of fucking all that breaths.
I like it how most of the characters are so terrible. Impossible to like them - save Snape ;) And supposedly you aren't that much of a Snape fan, huh? So why do you keep on writing him so pleasantly? ;)
It's truly a great story.

Author's Response: Thank you, Novinha - what a nice review! I love your characterisation of Remus, Lily, and James - I think you're exactly right. And Snape... huh. It's true: I harbour no real feelings for him, good or bad, but I do seem to write him fairly benevolently most of the time, don't I? Ha. He still has a major role to play here, so stay tuned... Thanks for reading!

Oh yeah, I caught a few lines and paraphrases from The Bard. Hmmm...Snape is suspicious of Remus. You know, that's going to be interesting. Wasn't Snape's "counterpart" Iago's wife in "Othello?" It's been a few years. She wasn't suspicious until too late. Now I'm *really* curious as to what will happen. Methinks Remus may have gotten too complacent, may have relaxed too soon.
Author's Response: Yep, you got it: Snape is playing the role of Emilia, Desdemona (Lily)'s maid, and Iago (Remus)'s wife. *snickers* It's a bit of an in-joke, for the Snupin shipper in me, but also I thought that casting would be interesting, in terms of putting Snape and Lily together a bit. You'll have to wait till Act 5 for the real Snape/Remus confrontation, a la the play... Thanks so much for the review! I'm glad you're still along for the ride. :)

<~~~~ Running over to your LJ to read the rest because I can't wait for the rest.
Brillant. Simply Brilliant.
Author's Response: Oh, thanks! Haha, yes, Aeryn outed me for the fact that the completed fic is already posted elsewhere, eh? :) I'm hoping to get it all posted here in the next few days as well. Glad you're enjoying it, and thanks for the review!
