I hope you don't mind my reviewing here, since it's been so long, but I just spent two days captivated by The Alchemist... and now the story's over. The first half, anyway. I read a comment on one of the chapters, how it would have had a redemptive ending. I'm sure it would have been a magical ending, and I'm sure the second half, continuing with the deathly hallows, would have been just as exquisite as the first, if not moreso, and I can imagine a redemptive(happy?) ending for the characters ^^ The central message of love being able to transform the soul is heartbreaking and inspiring, and one I think Rowling tried to convey, but didn't exactly make it, in my humble opinion.
Thank you so much for writing your story, it's truly, truly a breathtaking, remarkable work. I just got started on the Snape/Lily fandom a month ago, years after finishing the books. For some reason I remembered Snape, and his story, and his tragic love, and started looking up fanfiction, and then I couldn't stop. I searched high and low for more stories to read, but the pickings on Fanfiction.net are rather slim, even though there are jewels here and there. I heard about The Alchemist but never found it, and somehow I stumbled upon it, blessed fortune, and I'm done reading it now, and it's glorious. Thank you so much for writing it. Reading it was a sort of revelation - your character interpretations were so true, so alive, so painfully present. Your world leapt off the page so it was like watching a movie in my head. Are you writing original fiction? I would love to see you published one day if you aren't already. Good luck and best wishes for all your goals! If you ever return to the story or fandom I hope you'll let us know ^^ I honestly can't sing your praises highly enough; it would take a hundred pages!
(And this is off topic, but I found it funny that two of my most favorite SSLE fanfics both have titles starting with "A" - "The Alchemist," and one written by debpeters, "The Apprentice"; have you read it? It's unfinished, but really, really good.)

Thank-you so much for taking the time to tell me what the story meant to you. It is kind of timely and weird because I was talking to a good friend about this story tonight, and I hadn't thought about it in ages. I'm so glad it touched you. Sadly, I don't think it will ever be finished, and I apologize for that.
I am not writing original fiction, but I have been considering it. Thank-you for the encouragement. It is very motivating when you know that people enjoy your work and are touched by it.
I haven't read "The Apprentice". Where can I find it? I do still like to read some Harry Potter fanfic now and again.

It's all right, things happen! you still made something really beautiful. But, do you remember what would have happened to the characters? I'm just wondering ^^
Not sure when the author will update again, but I have hope! www.fanfiction.net/s/6306296/1…

I don't remember all the details, I'm sorry. I didn't write notes. It was all in my head. Won't do that again.
Thanks for the link. I read the first chapter of that story last night, and it pulled me right in. Sounds like it is going to be a good one!

Personally I really enjoyed it! I like seeing different interpretations of Snape; in this story he doesn't do much angsting and just tackles the problem straight on! if you ever want other SSLE recs I have tons of them
Also I just finished reading Once yesterday and adored it! It had your distinctive voice and vivid emotion and characterization that I really admire. One of the most intriguing AU's I've ever read, and I would've loved to see where you'd gone with it - Sev and Lily would have been toeing a really dangerous line if they'd been together seventh year, and beyond - not to mention Sev's possible inheritance! XD

Thank-you! It involved hugs, presents, cheese-stuffed tortellini and tiramisu! I hope the novel writing is going well. It must feel great to be well into your second novel!

It would feel better if either of the novels had been published and were earning me some money! But it's not going too badly - I've got into some soppy, romantic bits now, which always make me happy!
The cheese-stuffed tortellini and tiramisu sounds perfect! Much better than tea and cake! I'm glad you had a good day.
