COMPLETE! Hermione knows his secrets, his destiny unfulfilled. Snape sees only desolate dark. But in the tale of love and longing, Lily remembers everything.
All is not as it seems. The world of wizards is full of lies and half-truths.
Over twenty years ago, Severus Snape fell in love with Lily Evans, and he never stopped loving her. His every move, his every thought, is purely for her. And he has only one place, a room, hidden deep under the lake, where he can relax, not worry about whom he is spying on, what he should be saying and doing, where his loyalties lie. Somewhere he can reminisce about his childhood days there with Lily, to allow himself space to grieve.
That though, as with everything else, is about to change.

Hmmm..a bio huh? Oh, blimey, let's just sum this up: I'm a crazy mid-twenties review whore with a totally unhealthy obsession with Snape.
Reviews for Destiny's Secret
like the canon weaving
totally hate rose
great start
Very interesting and original plot. Well done!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy it :)
That was so much fun. I didn't expect any of it. I kept wondering when Hermione was going to discover Lily and who would let Severus go. And then the thing with Ron caught me by surprise again. Well done!
Well, there were definitely some very interesting turns in this story. *g* I had fun reading your story!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I love the clever way you tied up this story. The DH epilogue finally makes sense to me. And answers my question of how Hermione could have stood Ron for 19 years.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Tee hee hee! Thank you! I'm so happy the epilogue worked - I was determined at the start to keep it DH compliant :)
Uh-oh. Very bad news indeed. Not much worse than getting caught by your girl's father in her bedroom like that. I don't know who to feel more sorry for.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Oh the fun of being a teenager...so glad those days are well behind me! Thank you for the review, it's much appreciated :D
Poor, poor Lily. How horrible to be so utterly isolated at school. At least she and Severus have made up, at least for the time being.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Poor Severus and Lily were doomed from the start... Thanks!
You are doing a great job showing the evolution of their time at Hogwarts. Though he is definitely keeping something from her about what happened to him over the holidays.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thank you! I quite enjoyed exploring their history :)
and the Award for best plot twist of all time goes to...you.wow I never saw that coming. Lily being Hermione somehow makes sense, and its been led up to beautifully. But now to see if Severus feels the same way. The poor man would need therapy for the rest of his life in the real world.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Awwww Thank you!!!! Imagine Severus in therapy...now that would be funny!Thanks again :)
So glad I came upon this story when completed - I think I would have lost the plot with all the twists and turns if I had had to wait for the next chapter. It turned out to be the weirdest SSHG story I ever read but still very enjoyable. I noted thr 'DH compliant' but really didn't expect the sudden twists that resolved in the happy ending. Well done!
Oh man what a tangled web this chapter was - Lily is Hermione? and now Severus knows? what is to come of them all and how will Severus deal with knowing he has been lied to since day one.. Interesting idea.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thank you! Severus certainly has some things to think about.
Whoa.Whoa.Whoa.... I LOVE IT!!!!The best plot twist ever.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
*grin* Thank you!
Oh wow! That is fabulous. I cannot wait for the next installment. I love the stories with all the twists and turns. Keep up the good work!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thank you! Next chapter up soon I hope!
well I wasn't prepared for that ( but I am prepared for dinner.. oops thats a bad TV ad), at least it resolves the Lily vs Hermione question.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Tee hee! I know that ad...and it's terrible! Thanks :D
good pace , puffing to keep up !!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Woohoo! Glad you're enjoying it :D
Lily is almost feeling as hard done by as Severus, poor old things!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Oh yes, it's a right mess they got in to! Thanks!
I loved the post coital conversation quip.. I can just see it " oooh aaahh umm yesss.. and by the way dear, Voldie's going to attack Hogwarts tomorrow.."
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
PMSL! Severus isn't exactly adept at snuggly, warm post sex mumbles is he? Thanks!
You have me intrigued as to Lily's role over the last 15 years.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
All will be revealed! Thanks :D
perhaps they should all go on Oprah???
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
LOL now that would be interesting! I might even force myself to sit down and watch that episode ;) Thanks!
now that was interesting...opens up all sorts of possibilities
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
It full of twists and turns from here on in! Thanks!
Has Severus turned back to the light yet?
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
I don't like I ever stated exactly when in the fic he went back to the light, but in canon it was when he heard Lily was to be killed by Voldemort, so it was then. Thank you!
Nicely done, their passion and her horrified reaction at the Dark Mark.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thank you! Glad you liked it :D
I agree about the hex, I have three teenage boys, wouldn't it be useful * evil maternal grin*
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
My two monsters are a bit young to need it yet, but I suspect by the time they're teenages I'd quite happily sell one of my kidneys for that spell! Thank you :D
