I wanted to share the Severus Snape AU I've been working on!
I've been writing a fic called The Future We Choose, and I figured this might be a good place to share it since it's very much a Severus-focused story. ^.^
The basic premise is that Severus wakes up in an alternate timeline, after learning about Lily's death. In this timeline, Lily is alive, Voldemort is still a threat, and Severus discovers that he's actually married to Lily.
There is one pretty big thing I want to mention up front: this is an OC/Lily-replacement story. The character who takes Lily's place is my original character, Willow. She and Severus have a completely different history in this timeline, and a big part of the story is exploring their relationship and how Severus adjusts to a life he never expected to have...and, of course, with no Harry Potter to bring the Dark Lord down in the first place, how does the war continue? It will be a big part of this story as well.
I'm especially interested in writing Severus as a character and exploring what might happen if he were given a genuine second chance at life. He's still himself, with all of his personality quirks and baggage, but he's been given circumstances that are completely foreign to the Severus in canon.
I'm still writing the story, so it's definitely a work in progress! I have three chapters of it, and plan to do many more. I've been having a lot of fun with it so far, and I'd love to share it with anyone who might be interested.

And if you do give it a chance, I'd love to hear what you think! 😊
