comment
The Peace Not Promised is a Harry Potter Peggy Sue fanfiction by Tempest Kiro. Upon his canonical death, Severus Snape meets Albus Dumbledore in the afterlife, and is offered a chance to go back to an earlier point in his life (shortly after the breaking of his friendship with Lily Evans), to remedy his many regrets. He accepts in hopes of keeping Lily alive; everything else, he feels, is secondary to that. However, the changes in himself and the changes he brings about once he arrives in the past have the effect of softening her anger toward him and persuading her to give him another chance.It is published on FanFiction.Net (here) and Archive of Our Own (here), and was completed in December 2021.

 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_10e86d8e
comment
Memento Macguffin: For her seventeenth birthday, Severus sends Lily a crystal bottle containing a silver substance that forms into the shape of a doe if it's allowed to rest. To her, it's a beautiful reminder of his Patronus, showing that she's in his heart. Which is true, but unbeknownst to her, the silvery substance is her own memories, from the week where she was aware of his first life, waiting for the right time to be shown to her again.

comment
Tempting Fate: Severus insists, repeatedly, that he will never be a teacher again. To be fair, he did genuinely hate teaching Potions, because he loved the subject but the students never measured up. When he's over a barrel and needs the job, he compromises and teaches Defence instead. Lily ponders on Severus' nightmares and the need for them to eventually have a full talk about where they come from, but tells herself, "Let this not be what ruins Christmas." Sure enough, that isn't what ruins Christmas; a moment later, she is summoned to Professor McGonagall and given the news that her father has passed away suddenly.

All According to Plan
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_167bd2ca
comment
When Dumbledore personally intervenes to prevent the assassination of the Proud family, Voldemort retaliates by sending the Diary to Hogwarts with Evan Rosier, intending to hurt Dumbledore by hurting his students. Too bad for him that Dumbledore planned it that way in order to locate and destroy the Diary and the Basilisk in one swoop.

Weapon of X-Slaying
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_17d5e071
comment
Weapon of X-Slaying: Since alchemical focus stones are intimately connected with memories, Severus tries making one using the memory of his own death and his brief glimpse of afterlife. The resulting stone becomes a connection between life and death, which can give ghosts temporary corporeality, and kill Horcruxes. After Lily enchants the Sword of Gryffindor with the essence of love and joy, in the form of the Patronus Charm, it can cause ghosts to sense a peaceful realm beyond, and pass on.

Artificial Limbs
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_1f137e42
comment
Artificial Limbs: Dumbledore is intrigued to hear about the silver hand that Voldemort created for Peter Pettigrew in the original timeline, and would like to recreate the spell, but he suspects that part of the process involved Voldemort carving a piece from Pettigrew's soul, which Dumbledore is unwilling to do. He eventually succeeds instead in creating a silver prosthetic by making a detailed study of anatomy and exactly mimicking a hand, restoring most of Severus' spellcasting ability. Lily promptly takes on the task of learning enough to be able to renew the prosthetic as needed.

Childhood Friends
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_1fe9e22
comment
Childhood Friends: A lot of the reason why Lily gives Severus another chance, reform or not, is because he's her oldest friend and she doesn't want to lose him. She actually feels like the new and improved Severus is closer to how he was when they were children, rather than his dark and angry teenage years.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: After Christmas in their sixth year, Lily reflects that she once again received a fine pen from her father, but in order to blend in, she sticks with quill and ink well. She pulls out her collection to help Severus to mark his students' classwork after he loses his hand; it's easier to use a pen off-handed than a quill. Dumbledore gives Lily his Deluminator. When she activates it during the Battle of Hogwarts, it summons allies from across Britain, giving them his permission to apparate into Hogwarts, despite his death.

Dirty Old Man
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_267ce120
comment
Dirty Old Man: Severus disgustedly thinks of himself as this after a miscommunication leads him to attempt to push an encounter with Lily beyond what she's ready for (though he stopped in mortification as soon as she objected). Lily is initially taken aback, but after talking with a friend, she ultimately decides it's normal for him to be a Hormone-Addled Teenager, and they are in a romantic relationship, after all; no harm done, just lesson learned. He feels even guiltier, if anything, after their wedding night, with her still seventeen and still unaware of his first life and consequent mental age.

Guile Hero
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_2a02e5c9
comment
Guile Hero: Although he retains most of his adult dueling skill, Severus uses it only sparingly and surgically, and isn't recruited for the front lines of the war. He initiates a reform of Slytherin House by demonstrating his superior skill over the upper years, then using that to pressure the Prefects into doing their jobs and protecting every House member. This brings about greatly improved unity and garners widespread support and admiration from the younger years. Once his policies start producing results, rescuing several younger students from tight spots, he declares independence from the Death Eaters, shocking the House but retaining many followers and giving many others a feasible way to stay neutral. Severus becomes aware of the Diary horcrux as soon as cockerels start dying. However, he and Dumbledore decide to bide their time, rather than make an immediate move on it, so that they can destroy the basilisk permanently, as well as obtaining its venom. When Regulus Black approaches Severus, willing to defect, Severus advises him to do nothing rash, but strike back carefully and secretly. Eventually, after they arrange for Voldemort to be tricked into throwing away his last chance to create a backup Horcrux, Severus' and Albus' cunning is recognised by the Elder Wand, which recognises Riddle's defeat and accepts Snape as its new master.

comment
Entendre Failure: Played with. Wanting to comfort Severus with touch rather than words, Lily asks him to, "Apparate with me somewhere. Anywhere we can be alone... First place you think of." He completely misses her intent, but takes her to the Forest of Dean, where in a previous life he sent his Patronus, the emblem of their entwined hearts, to guide Harry. Since he can't explain that to her, and doesn't fully understand himself why he did it, he tells her that he's just been studying the plants in the area, making her think his choice was less emotionally charged than it actually was, but she finds the place beautiful and is happy with the outcome. He still doesn't work out what she was after.

comment
After all that Severus has done for the school, James Potter arranges for him to anonymously receive new school robes for his graduation (since Severus' robes were thin and full of patches). When he works out who sent them, Severus in his pride is resentful of accepting a gift from his old enemy, but restrains himself from lashing out for Lily's sake. Instead, after graduation, he sells the robes to a second hand store and uses the proceeds to buy ingredients for Lily's contraceptive potion (which doubles as Best Served Cold).

Please, Don't Leave Me: With a dash of the possessive variety. When Lily tells Severus that she wants to join the Order of the Phoenix after graduation, he sharply forbids her to do it, and warns/threatens that he won't live long if she dies. Lily, naturally, is quite upset at his attempt to control her. There is more to it than she knows, though, from the fact that he has lived through her death before and almost been destroyed by it, to his ongoing work with Dumbledore to end the war from the shadows.

Don't You Dare Pity Me!
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_38bb862f
comment
Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Through everything he's experienced, Severus has always clung to his pride. He nearly rejects Dumbledore's offer of alchemy training until Dumbledore presents it as an investment in him as a valuable asset, feels similarly about Dumbledore paying for his Apparition test until Dumbledore asks him in return for his aid in dealing with Amadeus Prince, and even after nearly two years of Lily's presence, which is able to soften his heart, he almost refuses to wear the new robes that James Potter anonymously buys him for graduation — then after graduation, Severus promptly sells them. In the first timeline, he accepted sponsorship from Lucius Malfoy to help him buy new robes and supplies, rather than the freely offered help of the Evans family, because sponsorship acknowledges his potential while gifts acknowledge his poverty.

Engineered Public Confession: When Severus catches Rita Skeeter spying on his home, he calls her out on her illegal Animagus form and invites her to defend herself. He can't actually prove she's an Animagus without revealing his Legilimency skills, but rather than challenge him, she offers to make a deal to use it to spy for his benefit. And then Dumbledore steps out of the next room.

Resigned to the Call: Severus knows before he travels back to the past that Dumbledore is The Chessmaster, and he doesn't look forward to being a pawn, but he also knows that realistically, working with the old Headmaster is by far the most effective and reliable way to protect Lily, so he does it. To his relief, Dumbledore at least doesn't want him to become a double agent this time.

Noodle Incident: At some point in third year, Severus and Lily snuck into Petunia's bedroom and—at this point one of them always cuts the other off, not wanting them to finish the sentence.

Mundane Solution: At one point, Lily is trying to keep Severus from bleeding out after he cut off his own hand with Sectumsempra to keep himself from killing her while under the Imperius Curse, but the dark magic inflicted wound is proving resistant to her attempts to heal it with magic. Severus' father just makes a tourniquet to cut off blood flow to the area and performs a blood transfusion.

Skewed Priorities: Lily asks Marlene not to let Severus know that it was Susan who spilled all sorts of personal details about him and Lily to a reporter — and half-jokingly adds that it's not to spare Susan, it's because being expelled just before graduation would be unfortunate for Severus, and murder would look bad on his resumé.

Surrounded by Idiots: Lily's efforts at marking potions give a clue as to why Severus hated teaching the subject: the students are so clueless that even with a very basic follow-the-steps recipe, they turn in a whole rainbow of different results, baffling Lily as to just how they managed it. Notably, Severus himself has such long experience that he has no such difficulty; he can immediately identify each mistake.

Homework Slave: Upon arriving in his younger body, Severus is surprised and somewhat disgusted to learn that he's been involved in completing other students' homework for them. Putting an end to it precipitates an early confrontation with Owen Mulciber, who isn't pleased about Severus stepping out of line — but Severus still has all his adult dueling skill and is more than prepared for him.

Obnoxious In-Laws: Petunia and Vernon are this, of course, since they're pretty much obnoxious to everyone. Severus' lackluster appearance is taken by Vernon as an excuse for tardiness, as he doesn't look like he could afford a decent car. His employment prospects are immediate fodder for Vernon to boast about how he himself is already settled in management. Petunia is upset about their engagements happening at the same time, but comforted by Vernon pointing out — in public, at a restaurant — that Lily's ring is merely silver while hers is gold with diamonds. Severus actually manages to make a better impression than James Potter canonically did, though, by the simple expedient of restraining his temper in the face of their abuse.

The Atoner: Severus begins as this, with his whole focus on preventing Lily's death, after his mistakes killed her the first time. He eventually comes to accept that not just her life, but her friendship and love, are within reach. When he enters the afterlife a second time, he discovers that the Dark Mark is no longer on his soul.

Kangaroo Court
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_5d3e7c6
comment
Kangaroo Court: When Severus is brought up on charges of poaching, the court seems to be stacked against him, and he doesn't understand why. He's not given a copy of the prosecution's brief in advance, not until he insists on it while actually standing in court, and then he's denied a recess to study it and prepare his defence. The investigating Auror's account of interviewing him conveniently omits any mention of his defence (namely, they didn't set out to poach it, just defended themselves), and the judge doesn't allow him to grill the Auror on the contents of it. And it's pretty clear that there is not a presumption of "innocence until guilt is proven beyond reasonable doubt."

Heel–Face Turn
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_617f0563
comment
Heel–Face Turn: Several students who were on track to become Death Eaters are persuaded to change course. Mulciber starts the story as nearly top dog in Slytherin, based mostly on intimidation, but falls in with Severus after being humiliated, thus losing most of his standing, and becoming dependent on Severus' influence to maintain position. He eventually has enough positive exposure to other ideals and other students to make the change stick, even in the face of his family's opposition. Regulus Black's changing of allegiances is canon, but Severus smooths his path, rather than having him vanish on a suicidal revenge mission. Rosier and Avery lose faith in Voldemort; one stays with the Death Eaters out of fear, but no longer serves wholeheartedly, while the other flees the country. Avery later comes to the defence of Hogwarts in the final confrontation.

Heroic Sacrifice: Severus has always made it clear that he would die to keep Lily alive.

Much later, he Apparates to right in front of Voldemort, stabbing the Locket with his Death Focus Stone to render Tom mortal, but unable to prevent Voldemort from cursing him.

Accidental Discovery: When Severus creates an alchemical Focus Stone from his memories of the afterlife, he was mostly experimenting to produce something that could manufacture basilisk venom, but the stone proves to have more death-related powers than he expected.

Unable to Support a Wife: Despite wanting her, Severus is more reluctant to marry than Lily is, because he has no home or employment or savings. He does have good employment prospects for the future, at least. In the end, they marry early anyway, because Lily's father passes away unexpectedly; she's no longer being supported by anyone else, and can't have her dream wedding without her father to give her away, so there's no more reason to wait.

For Want of a Nail
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_79a60aec
comment
For Want Of A Nail: Severus is able to nudge many students away from becoming Death Eaters, often with quite small interventions. Even those who initially resist his efforts, such as Avery and Regulus, often come to him later when they are faced with the harsh realities of serving Voldemort. Barty Crouch Jr is a particularly notable example of redemption through early intervention and sympathy.

Totally Trusting Love Interest: Lily knows that Severus is steadfastly loyal to her, so she instantly sees through his pretense that she was just a fling and his offer to become a spy for Voldemort, and realises what's really happening (ie he's just stalling in hopes of creating an opening to Portkey her to safety). Unfortunately, since she isn't protected from mind-reading, she inadvertently gives everything away and ruins his plan, as explained by the narrator giving an Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!.

Slain in Their Sleep: Played straight in the first timeline with Eileen Snape, who had merely been neglectful and cold toward her son. Defied with her husband Tobias, who was violently abusive; Severus woke him from a drunken stupor so he'd know what's coming to him.

comment
Rejected Apology: After Severus proves his sincerity and commitment, both James and Remus try to put the past behind them and reconcile with him, but he's not interested. Only his devotion to Lily's happiness keeps him remotely civil to them, and only her ongoing influence, over a long period of time, softens him enough to eventually accept.

What Does She See in Him?: For a while, most of Lily's friends are hung up on Severus' shabby looks, dark past (which they're not convinced he's truly abandoned), acerbic personality, and poverty for good measure. As time passes, she's able to hold his achievements over their heads, such as his gold medal for groundbreaking contributions to alchemy, brewing the Wolfsbane Potion for Remus Lupin every month — including dramatically improving the recipe — and slaying Slytherin's Basilisk.

Disinherited Child: Both inverted and played straight with the Prince family. Severus visits his grandfather, at Dumbledore's request, and successfully arranges for his mother to be restored to her inheritance on the condition of cutting ties to her muggle husband — which she is willing to do, having long since despaired of her life. However, Severus himself, while offered a similar deal, refuses to give Lily up, and so is forced to cut contact with his mother.

Mistaken for Pregnant: Hagrid completely misinterprets a breakfast conversation between Severus and Lily, then spreads his mistaken conclusions to all the staff, who proceed to keep alcohol away from Lily, flip out about her helping to brew potions that might affect a fetus' development, etc, all without actually discussing it with her. It takes days before either of them realises what's going on so they can clear things up — and Severus hears the rumour before Lily does, and assumes it's true.

Bait-and-Switch Tyrant: Lily and the Marauders are terrified when Slytherin House falls in line behind Severus (who as far as they know is still a prospective Death Eater), knowing that unity and cooperation will make the House vastly more dangerous, and will make it easy to win the hearts of any students who are isolated or otherwise vulnerable. When it turns out that he's protecting the vulnerable in order to reduce reliance on the Death Eaters and hinder their recruitment, Lily's relief is overwhelming.

Yowies and Bunyips and Drop Bears, Oh My: Xenophilius Lovegood brings tales of Australia when he's present at James and Marlene's wedding; he initially assumes that Severus' silver prosthetic hand is infested with "Fluorescent Bushwongles", which he's seen in a mossy Australian cave (probably glow-worms), and later goes on about the Drop Bears that several Australian wizards swore they had seen. Note that the author is Australian.

Reformation Acknowledgement

Reformation Acknowledgement: Lily's father Martin is initially opposed to her and Severus dating, knowing that Severus comes from an abusive household, and that he has called Lily by a racial slur once when he lost his temper (but not knowing that Severus is now several decades older and has spent that time regretting his choices), and Severus acknowledges that he has cause. However, after observing Severus over the summer holidays, seeing his dedication to keeping his word, his sincere devotion to Lily, and his respect, Martin decides that he has indeed changed. After Severus kills the basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets, James starts seriously reining his friends in, figuring that Severus has proved himself to be a good guy and doesn't deserve harassment anymore.

Insatiable Newlyweds: Subverted; Lily would have liked to, but they can't afford enough contraceptives, nor can they afford an immediate pregnancy. Severus doesn't admit that he would also feel guilty about it due to their mental age gap; he already feels guilty about their wedding night. Chances are that she could have persuaded him, though, if it weren't for the pragmatic concerns.

Commonality Connection: Severus is given some of Albus' own memories to take to the past, and as a result, he learns about the champion of the Light's own regrets, his flirtation with darkness and culpability for his sister's death, even as Severus was responsible for Lily's death. This is implied to be a deliberate move on the future Dumbledore's part, to facilitate trust and cooperation between them.

 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_8d0785d5
comment
Didn't Think This Through: After a disagreement, Dumbledore leaves some of Severus' future memories sitting in his Pensieve, intending for Severus to see them when he comes back and be reminded of their significance. But putting clear evidence of Severus' first life in a room accessible to (at least some) students, without supervision, was always going to be a bad idea. When Lily sells her childhood home, the garden shed is still hidden from Muggle eyes. However, one of the new owner's children turns out to be a wizard, and can therefore see it; he almost hurts himself trying to climb on it, while his siblings and mother can't tell it's there. And at that point it's much too late to remove the spell.

Wham Episode: Severus and Lily's journey is substantially altered by Voldemort kidnapping her. Not only does Severus lose his right hand rescuing her, which cripples his ability to use magic and earn a living, but also Voldemort learns that Severus has future knowledge, so they have to hide away in Hogwarts for safety. And with Voldemort already knowing that much, Severus restores Lily's memories of learning about the first timeline. Their life together is quite different in the aftermath.

Laser-Guided Karma
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Severus uses his adult magical skill to impress the members of Slytherin House and gain influence, then demands unity and mutual protection within the House, much to the delight of the younger years. When the Marauders catch him in an ambush and have him at their mercy, one of the younger Slytherin students intervenes for just long enough for Severus to free himself and turn the tables. In a moment of temper, Lily lets words slip out that put a rift between her and her good friend Marlene (in this case, revealing Marlene's crush on James Potter to witnesses) — rather like how Severus lost his temper and alienated her. Fortunately, just as Severus found redemption and forgiveness this time around, Lily and Marlene eventually reconcile too. At the start of the year, Lily repeatedly tells herself that if Severus looks unhappy after the end of their friendship, it's not on her; he pushed her away and he's not her responsibility. She's not necessarily wrong, but much later, when she learns the extent of his father's abuse, leaving Severus' back covered in scars, and she wishes she had known and could have done something about it, Severus tells her that it wasn't her responsibility, which cuts home. Rita Skeeter brushes Lily off, derisively stating that she's trying to talk to Severus Snape, not "the leader of the Quidditch cheer squad." Mere seconds later, she finds out that the girl she just dismissed is Severus' wife, and is quite happy to throw her rudeness back in her face.

They're so quick to dismiss him as a potential boyfriend that she might have gotten away with it, too, if the memory of the kiss hadn't made her blush and given away that she was serious.

Passive-Aggressive Kombat: A rather one-sided example when Lily and Severus meet Vernon and Petunia for dinner. Vernon observes that Severus' callused hands indicate that he's a working man, and probably doesn't own a decent car, so their lateness is understandable. Petunia makes a point of having ordered wine for herself and Vernon, but soft drink for Lily and Severus since they're underage. After several minutes of continuing rudeness in this vein, Lily has had enough and storms out. Severus largely restrained himself while in the restaurant, but does note afterward that with the size of Vernon, their untouched meals will at least not go to waste. Petunia later sends Lily a letter, congratulating her on baby Albus not looking as "hideous" as his father.

Let's Wait Awhile: Lily's father requests that they wait for the wedding night, and while Lily would gladly assert her independence and adulthood and dismiss it, Severus is keen to gain his approval and agrees. It also helps that he feels guilty about their age gap; she's young enough to have been his student. He later uses the memory of his choice not to sleep with Lily, to create a "purity" Focus Stone for silver; discussion with Nicolas Flamel reveals that it was successful, not precisely because of the moral purity, but because he acted against his own interests to protect someone who touched his soul.

Dramatic Irony
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_ab5eea65
comment
Dramatic Irony: When Lily and Severus first reconcile, she considers telling him about her new friendship with Marlene McKinnon, but hesitates because Severus has always been possessive before — and then she feels guilty about the prospect of restarting their friendship with deceit. While having no idea about Severus' first life and time travel. Lily insists that Severus accept her expensive gift for his coming of age, because, "You only get to be seventeen once." After all that Severus has done for the school, James Potter arranges for him to anonymously receive new school robes for his graduation (since Severus' robes were thin and full of patches). When he works out who sent them, Severus in his pride is resentful of accepting a gift from his old enemy, but restrains himself from lashing out for Lily's sake. Instead, after graduation, he sells the robes to a second hand store and uses the proceeds to buy ingredients for Lily's contraceptive potion (which doubles as Best Served Cold).

De-power
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_ac4c677f
comment
De-power: All of Severus' skill in dueling, in alchemy, even in brewing potions, is useless when he loses his right hand; he hasn't trained in off-hand nor wandless casting. He later loses the power of unsupported flight, when Voldemort recognises it and strips it from him.

Chekhov's Skill
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_acecb17d
comment
Chekhov's Skill: After reviewing Severus' memories, Dumbledore is particularly interested in some of the magical enhancements that Voldemort invented, such as Wormtail's silver prosthetic hand, and the power of unsupported flight. Later, after Severus loses his hand, Dumbledore finds a way to create a silver prosthetic, allowing him to regain most of his magical skill. Lily is established early on to be naturally talented with silent casting, and with wandless magic, but struggles to combine the two; Professor Flitwick challenges her to practise this if she wants to pass Charms, and she eventually achieves some basic competency with it. Which is how she stabs Voldemort with the Sword of Gryffindor after he immobilises her.

Abusive Parents
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: Tobias and Eileen Snape get screen time. Eileen is grossly neglectful, only reacting to Severus' return at the end of the school year by criticising him for not knocking (and she's perpetually drunk). Tobias physically attacks both Severus and Lily. However, both parents later find a measure of conciliation with Severus. Barty Crouch Sr is not physically violent, but is unreasonably perfectionist and intolerant, putting his son under more pressure than he can handle and driving him toward rebellion.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_b5bd58a3
comment
Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor: Lily herself doesn't let this influence her thinking much, although she can't help but feel the crimp when her father passes away, leaving her with only a house that she has to sell to clear the mortgage, and she and Severus start out so poor that they decide against even attending a cinema together. Severus, however, is perfectly aware that in another lifetime she married James Potter and would never have had to worry about money again. Still, he has good prospects for future income until he loses his right hand. Severus actually has to make a similar choice. His wealthy and titled grandfather is impressed with his skills, and offers to accept him back into the family to produce heirs, on the condition of cutting ties with muggles. Severus turns the offer down to stay with Lily — and has to permanently say goodbye to his mother, who accepted the deal.

Transmutation
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_b6a0878c
comment
Transmutation: The major use of alchemy is to truly and permanently change one substance into another, drawing on principles from transfiguration and potions; essentially, the substance is broken down and rearranged at the atomic level with the help of a catalyst Focus Stone. The process is much more complex and difficult than regular transfiguration, and the yield is dependent on the skill of the alchemist but will invariably be less than the input; however, unlike transfigured items that merely have an altered appearance, alchemically produced materials have all the properties of the true material.

Forgiveness
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_b75b35ac
comment
Forgiveness: This is a major theme of the story. Severus is shocked to realise that Lily was never hung up on the slur he used; what she wanted all along was simply for him to not join Voldemort. That was the reason she pushed him away in the first timeline. When he makes it clear that he won't, that he has turned his back on Voldemort and his promises, she readily forgives and embraces him in tears. Severus is very reluctant to extend his own forgiveness to the Marauders. He is eventually able to be cordial with James and Remus.

 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_b77eb3b2
comment
Revenge by Proxy: Disaffected Slytherins try to send a message to Severus by targeting Lily. Fortunately the Marauders were using their map to keep an eye out for her. When Dumbledore personally intervenes to prevent the assassination of the Proud family, Voldemort retaliates by sending the Diary to Hogwarts with Evan Rosier, intending to hurt Dumbledore by hurting his students. Too bad for him that Dumbledore planned it that way in order to locate and destroy the Diary and the Basilisk in one swoop.

comment
The Dragonslayer: James Potter heads out into the wilderness, encounters a savage dragon, summons the Sword of Gryffindor through his bravery, and cuts off the dragon's head. It's actually a deconstruction, though; Dumbledore set it all up with the aim of acquiring the sword, sending Severus to keep an eye on James and help him survive the experience, and then in the aftermath, the Ministry charges both James and Severus with poaching a protected species.

Metaphorically True: Severus is able to partially explain his nightmares to Lily, by telling her that Voldemort tested him by implanting a memory of her dying and it being his fault. In reality, Voldemort gave him the (accurate) memory of her death as a very twisted "gift".

Unfinished Business
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_bafa1190
comment
Unfinished Business: Severus is offered the chance to go back to his teen years and try again, because "your regrets chain you to the living". He can't find peace in the afterlife, even though it's available to him, because he can't let go of his mistakes. The Grey Lady is trapped as a ghost by her regret at refusing to visit her mother's deathbed. She finds peace by using the Resurrection Stone to speak with her mother, after which she passes on. The Bloody Baron considers being trapped as a ghost forever to be his penance for killing her. He relents when not only has she found peace and passed on, but his own passing will serve a greater purpose by testing the enchantment on the Sword of Gryffindor.

comment
Deader than Dead: Multiple ghosts pass on to the afterlife, which normally is not possible because they cannot grow and therefore cannot let go of regret. The Grey Lady finds peace by using the Resurrection Stone to reconcile with her mother, and vanishes. The Bloody Baron tests Lily's enchantment on the Sword of Gryffindor, which infused it with the power of a Patronus, and reports that it felt like hearth and home, that he could sense a peaceful realm beyond. Snape persuades him to test it in full, as a final act of service, and when he does, he vanishes in light.

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Even in a non-visual medium, this is in full force with Severus and Lily. Her friends, especially Marlene, can't seem to overlook his looks. He himself is painfully aware of his unimpressive appearance (and he knows he won't particularly improve with age). Lily doesn't really care, she likes him for his mind and heart, and she finds the disparagement annoying. However, it's undeniable that she's the one who has to quietly dispose of piles of Valentines each year while he gets none.

You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Lily tells Severus this repeatedly, after seeing how he continues to sacrifice his own time and convenience and comfort for necessity, for duty, and above all, for her. Dumbledore tries to be encouraging to his retiring Divination teacher, whose Sight has apparently been mixing up the old and new timelines ever since Severus returned, and who consequently believes he's losing it. Dumbledore, of course, has an inkling of the cause.

Chastity Couple: Severus and Lily while at school, even once they're married, though rather against Lily's wishes. Severus' excuse is that it's against school rules, but the truth is that he feels guilty about their mental age gap and wants to wait at least until she isn't a student (since she would be the right age to be his student).

Internal Reveal: Lily finds out about Severus' first life, where his reform came about due to her death, not merely the passage of time. Then her memory of it is erased for her safety. And then, much later, she gets it back once it's clear Voldemort is targeting her anyway. She also sees him with his shirt off when buying new robes, and finds out that his back is covered with scars from his father's beatings. After Mulciber sends his crush Susan a Forged Message, hoping to have his friend Lester use Polyjuice potion to impersonate her crush Urquart at a private rendezvous, Snape learns that Urquart is biologically female, and concealing the fact. Snape is ambivalent in his support, but does provide a convenient lie to help Urquart explain away the fact that the Polyjuice gave Lester a clearly female body. Severus meets with the Order of the Phoenix to tell them that he is on his second life and has seen a possible future.

Shout-Out: When Lily suggests a decoration on Severus' new robes rather than plain black, telling him he looks like a vampire, he replies that "I assure you they have ridiculous sparkling twits among their numbers as well." Lily's father is mentioned to be a not so secret fan of a children's television show starring a time-traveling space wizard in a box. And later, when he's trying to cover up his reasons for not wanting to patrol with Amelia Bones (namely, their antagonistic history in his first life), he claims to dislike Hufflepuffs' "friendship is magic mindset." When talking about plans for New Year's, Lily suggests going to the cinema to see a super popular science fiction thriller about space wizards with laser swords.

Non-Action Guy: Dumbledore arranges for Peter Pettigrew to be moved into a noncombatant role in the Order, ostensibly due to his poor duelling performance (which is likely true), but actually because of Severus' knowledge that Peter could eventually turn traitor out of fear for his life. It works; without having to regularly put his life on the line, Peter remains loyal to his friends, even through the defence of Hogwarts.

Starving Student: Zigzagged with Severus. Hogwarts provides abundant food for its students, but he was half-starved during the holidays and used the school year to recover. Even then, however, he has little taste — or endocrine tolerance — for anything rich, and is quite content to live on a diet that might suit a regular Starving Student; unsweetened porridge, brown bread, and black tea. His second time around, he makes a conscious effort to eat more protein, in part so that he'll be less self-conscious on their wedding night, but doesn't easily take to it.

Fighting Back Is Wrong

comment
Fighting Back Is Wrong: Professor McGonagall doesn't actually punish Lily for stepping in to shield a third-year Hufflepuff from a seventh-year Slytherin who wanted to throw his weight around, but she does sternly tell Lily off. Her take is that since the bullying wouldn't have resulted in hospitalising anyone, whereas the resulting altercation did, Lily ought to have gone after a teacher instead. Since Lily's only spells were used to shield herself and then confuse Mulciber into attacking a different target (who was the one hospitalised), Marlene isn't impressed.

comment
Hypocrite: Zigzagged with Amelia Bones. In Severus' first life, she hounded him incessantly, with only Dumbledore's repeated intervention keeping him out of prison. In his second, however, he's finding her to be, while serious and straightforward, also relatively merciful to those whom she catches breaking rules (such as the Marauders being out after curfew to visit Peter in hospital), which galls him. Her explanation is that since she's only a prefect, she can afford to be forgiving and let those above her override if they so choose. Still, she seems to advocate in principle for mercy, which he finds unfair. At the same time, he's aware that he of all people shouldn't hold a grudge against someone for behaving differently the first time around. Justified in that it's much easier and quite different to be merciful with misbehaving students who break the rules compared to criminals and Death Eaters who break the laws. Prefect Amelia Bones being merciful with misbehaving students isn't contradictory with Auror Amelia Bones being relentless in pursuing criminals and Death Eaters, which Severus was in his first life. It's not so much hypocrisy as different standards for different situations in different contexts.

However, he still has to decide when to let people die vs when to intervene. And even when he does intervene, it's a calculated move, such as saving the Prouds from assassination in order to provoke Voldemort into lashing out and sending the Diary to the school.

Love Redeems: As per canon, Severus' love for Lily caused him to turn against Voldemort. But further, her loving him back gradually softens his sharp edges and makes him a little more tolerant and forgiving. Eventually.

Action Girl: Lily doesn't have Severus' lifetime of experience, nor does she have serious combat instincts, but she can take care of herself. The first time she's seen clashing with Slytherin bullies, she humiliates Mulciber badly enough to cement his loss of status in the house and Severus' ascendance (though that wasn't her intention). She tries to keep herself safe, but can't resist going out to make a difference during the Battle of Hogwarts, such as distracting Bellatrix Lestrange from attacking the wounded in the Great Hall, thus saving many lives. She eventually kills Tom Riddle, stabbing him with the Sword of Gryffindor after his Horcruxes are destroyed.

Lily's father Martin is initially opposed to her and Severus dating, knowing that Severus comes from an abusive household, and that he has called Lily by a racial slur once when he lost his temper (but not knowing that Severus is now several decades older and has spent that time regretting his choices), and Severus acknowledges that he has cause. However, after observing Severus over the summer holidays, seeing his dedication to keeping his word, his sincere devotion to Lily, and his respect, Martin decides that he has indeed changed.

Laser-Guided Amnesia
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_e7b0229a
comment
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Lily loses selected memories on several occasions. Severus takes her memories of seeing his future memories in Dumbledore's Pensieve, and their resulting week together with her in the know, because it's too dangerous for her to know about the future when Voldemort can read minds. This sets their relationship almost back to square one, but it has to be done for everyone's safety. When she turns down a job at the Department of Mysteries, she's left only with a memory of failing a different interview. However, the interviewer was actually a Death Eater with more nefarious intentions. After Lily bids farewell to the Grey Lady, Dumbledore takes her memory of the encounter so as to protect knowledge of the Resurrection Stone, and the special Focus Stone that allowed a ghost to use it.

Spared, but Not Forgiven
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_e7d7aa38
comment
Spared, but Not Forgiven: Severus has the skills and experience to really put the hurt on the Marauders this time around, and would really like to do it, but for the sake of setting a good example to his House, he repeatedly settles for merely defeating them and walking away when they cause trouble. He agrees to end hostilities for Lily's sake, and even helps them out when he feels indebted to them for rescuing Lily from Slytherins who resent his leadership and wanted to punish him by hurting her, but he still doesn't want anything to do with them, and rejects several attempts by James and Remus to reach out to him. He slowly comes around, to some extent, as James develops more maturity.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
 The Peace Not Promised (Fanfic) / int_eb8f64a6
comment
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Well, some of them do. But people are so suspicious of Severus, especially to begin with, that he frequently faces retaliation for doing good. His efforts to unite Slytherin House and have all the students protect each other, thus nullifying a major recruitment incentive for the Death Eaters, spark great alarm. Not only in Lily and the Marauders, who are terrified at the prospect of the snakes cooperating, but even within Slytherin, when Sebastian Urquart assumes that he's recruiting for the Death Eaters. Severus is attacked repeatedly, and nearly faces a repeat of his earlier shaming by James Potter, before he can publicly set the record straight. When Severus agrees to continue brewing Wolfsbane for Remus indefinitely, at Lily's request, Remus' reaction is to assume that he's holding his compliance hostage to keep Lily's friendship. Helping to rescue James from a wild dragon gets Severus brought up on charges alongside him.

Love Martyr: Several of Lily's friends worry that she's blind to Severus' faults and throwing her own life away in a misguided attempt to save him from himself, and she isn't able to talk them out of it for quite some time. It doesn't help that Severus really is a gruff and prickly person, sometimes even with her; she just also gets glimpses of his softer side, his strength of character, and his capacity for selflessness.

comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: Snape's first life, in canon, ended with him losing everything, not even being able to keep Harry alive, despite all his efforts and all his suffering. In his second try, he is able to find happiness with Lily, although he faces many new hardships along the way, from the opposition of her friends and family, to the hostility of the Death Eaters whom he didn't join this time, and even the loss of his wand hand. At one point, he even is able to tell Lily about his first life, deepening their friendship and assuring her of the strength of his feelings for her, but then he later has to erase those memories for her safety, setting them back to almost square one. In the end, though, he's happier than he has ever been.

Living Emotional Crutch: Lily is undoubtedly this for Severus. While he can function without her — and did so for many years in his first life — even that was based on remembering her and fighting to protect her legacy, and it still left him a bitter, angry, jaded man at a mere 38 years old. On the positive side, actually having her in his life makes his heart grow steadily softer, quicker to forgive offences and with less bite accompanying his bark.

Dark and Troubled Past: In his first life, Severus joined the Death Eaters, committed or contributed to many horrible crimes including personally murdering his parents as a test of loyalty, and unintentionally but directly brought about Lily's own death. Since he can't risk telling her about all of it, especially the time travel, Lily is sometimes confused about how he managed to fit so much darkness and trouble and trauma into the six months they were estranged.
