I am a grateful fan of Ms. Rowling and of her overwhelming Byronic Character, Severus Snape! Please check out the first chapters of each fic (except for "How Can I Tell You," which is on Chapter 2) to see pictures of the Heroines.
Admins' Note: Livvy6 died suddenly on February 22, 2012, leaving behind her husband, six-year-old daughter, and seventeen stories well-loved by the TPP community. All who knew her—including those in Harry Potter fandom and all of us, here—are richer for having known her.
Requiescat in pace, Livvy. Always.
Reviews for Love Remains
Poor Severus having to be reminded of his failure at every turn. I can only imagine how horrible that must feel. No wonder he behaved the way he did.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Yes, it is a very difficult for him to continue. He is eaten up with so many various emotions, it is easy to see how he can act so bitterly

Oh, Lily. If only you had known the consequences of your actions, that Severus would not get Harry that you were sending him to your sister. Painful, but a good way to jump back to canon. I can see Severus asking for that, that Harry not know what had happened.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Thank you. I do enjoy weaving in canon when I can. Yes, a lot of pain still to come.Thanks!

Oh, Lily, you aren't.... Please let Severus or someone stop her. No matter what Harry needs her.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Lily unfortunately is very mentally unstable and is not thinking correctly. However, later on in the story we will learn of an aspect of wizarding life that Lily is aware of and Severus has turned a blind eye towards because of his love for her. It will make her decision less selfish

Oh, Remus, you know how to hit below the belt. I think Lily needed to hear it, but it's always harsh having someone confront you with the truth. I really hope she doesn't give up on her own happiness just for Harry. It is important for both of them to have happiness.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Yes, Remus was a bit blunt there. Not exactly what Lily needed to hear.

Poor Lily. I can really see her being so conflicted with everything that is going on. She loves Severus as a friend but nothing more, but that Harry has found someone stable in him. It really is a deep pickle that she's in.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Yes, she's really setting herself up for a heartbreak.Thanks!

Wonderful job working that bit of canon with Sirius in. I was wondering if he was still going to go after Peter, albeit a few days later. And nice confession scene with Severus baring his soul to Lily. I think that was very well done. I can see her being horrified, but still accepting of the fact that he had changed.

I can definitely see Sirius having a meltdown over that. And Severus is being a good and decent man by turning away her affections when she's not ready for it. I'm really enjoying how this is unfolding and hope to finish it tonight or tomorrow.

Nicely done. I like that Harry would not judge Severus and play with his nose. And I can see Severus focusing on Harry's eyes and not his hair.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
I'm glad you liked how it was written. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story!Thanks!

Nice job showing the raw emotions that there would be in the aftermath. Though I do have to wonder if Severus will be able to face Lily knowing that he told Voldemort about the prophecy that ultimately led to James's death.

They will defiantly have a lot to work out, that's for sure!Thanks for reviewing!

Interesting start. I love that her love could be powerful enough even without her death. How different it would have been for Harry to grow up with his mother and presumably the wizarding world, and no Dursleys.

Lovely ending.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
I'm glad you liked the conclusion. It was a hard and long road for Severus, but now he is a father and a grandfather. He'll never be alone again! His story was like that of Job, who lost everything, but in the end received a double portion of what was lost. Now Severus has not only Harry, but his little daughter, Sarah, and his grandson Severus Harry Potter.Thanks!

OH gads, the CIrcle was hilarous! Especially with the George listening in and give blow-by-blows! I mean giggles-by-giggles! Severus and Harry having that final good bye at the grave, nice closer to that.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Yeah, needed to have some levity and tie up all the loose ends. I hope you like the last two chapters!Thanks!

This young witch who will be the love of Sev's life, does she have bushy hair and a big brain? Your story has been depressing up to this point, a tribute to how well you write. If it ends with SS/HG I'll be happy.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Absolutely! I may pour on the angst, but it just makes the happy ending that much sweeter. HG/SS always!Thanks for reviewing!

"Love Remains" has been an absolute joy to read, and I thank you for sharing your considerable talents with us. The over riding theme for me was the power of true love to persevere and remain whole no matter the trials and tribulations that come throughout one's life.Severus loved Harry with a love that could not be extinguished, and he did everything he could do to protect him... even when it hurt... Harry was his son no matter what!!!Severus and Hermione worked very hard to build the kind of loving relationship that only comes from dedication and a firm commitment to see things through. I was so happy to know they married and had a beautiful daughter. Sarah will be the most loved and best protected witch in Wizarding Britain... just like her mother.When Harry and Ginny named their son Severus Harry Potter, I got tears in my eyes. It was totally fitting that Severus had been honored that way. Just think, if Hermione and Severus have a son, they could name him Severus, too. Then we would have Severus Snape, Sr., Severus Snape, Jr., and Severus Potter... and a dynasty is born!
I've loved this story from the beginning, and I love the ending you have given my favorite characters. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thank you. It's only fitting that the man who lost everything, in the end gets everything back two-fold. Reminds me of Job. Severus is now a patriarch of a new family, and he will never be alone again.Thanks!

...and they lived happily ever after...Thank you for an amazing story that brought me close to tears more than once.

Oh, and imagine little Severus having an aunt just three months older than he is! (Theoretically, he might even marry his own aunt one day, as they are not blood relatives...)

True, true, they could! I'm glad this story moved you. Thank you!

very sweet but still some sadness. (like life) Harry regreting the childhood he never had with Severus was very sad. Thanks for shaing this tale with us, and congrats on finishing it by the deadline.

Oh, thanks to Southern! This fic had been finished and beta'd a long time ago. However, getting all the chapters validated with all the other fine challenge stories out there, she had to work extra hard.But, I am glad that you liked it!

I'm really glad you gave this such a happy ending. This wonderful story was so dark at times, I wondered how that would be possible. But you worked things out for the characters with this very satisfying ending.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
I'm glad you enjoyed this. And of course, I MUST give Severus happy endings. He deserves it so much!Thanks!!
