When Severus Snape died the last thing he expected was to wake up married to Lily with a son about to start Hogwarts. He is unable to shake what happened while asleep; and as odd parallels begin to appear, he has to question his entire existence. Was it truly just a dream? And if not, what does that mean for his family and the rest of the Wizarding World?

Severus Snape always prided himself on the fact that he had an... iron will if you would call it. He almost never cried. But that does not mean he didn't cry. Oh he has cried. Much more than he would be willing to admit. The thing is though, that the tears he has let slip, all have one thing in common. A certain person, a certain girl, a certain Lily. His Lily.
