To say that this is not a dark piece would be a lie. Damnation by love abounds here. This is not a fic which demonizes James. This is not a fic which tries to fix everything between Severus and Lily. This fanfiction does not romanticize Severus' yearning for Lily, or rather, his obsession. Lily is not fought over like some sort of toy. She is not treated like an object, or a rope in some sort of lustful tug-o-war. Lily may seem rather blind to Severus' feelings, but we are looking from his eyes. Of course she seems blind to us. And in the end, her hindsight is 20/20. A dark tale it is.
A good read.
