Remembering how much I enjoyed this one...

It wouldn't be at all out of place in the femgenficathon (here on LJ). Have you ever been a part of that effort?

No, I haven't. What's that about?

Oh, how excellent... *rubs hands together laughing sinisterly*

It's an annual fic-writing effort in which authors are given prompts and asked to write a fanfic using a female protagonist outside a romantic pairing. It started out as a Harry Potter ficathon, but the last two years it has branched out to accept any fandom. Most stories have rather pronounced feminist overtones (which is how I found it - there's a reason Mr O'Neill is my avatar...), but that's not specifically noted in the rules.

Wow. Just wow.

This is so clever and brilliant and bright, such an insight into Lily's humanity, so poignant in its truth.

A great little piece. And a proof that you don't need many words to cut down to the core.

Thank you for sharing.

Really good job. I love the portrayal of Lily, James, and Sirius as seminormal and human.

Amazing. It even makes me like Lily, when usually I'm indifferent to her. Great job!

Lovely! This is very true. Her sacrifice was all the greater because she wasn't prone to making them on a daily basis. Good work!
