Why this must be read:

Because [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] takes the books' one dimensional depiction of Lily Potter as some type of holy mother, a saint, and brings her back to Earth. This piece shattered my preconceptions of this character, and will make you see her in a completely new light.

The world remembers a martyr, a painted icon with a golden halo. Lily Potter wasn't that.

Wow! This is the sort of fic I would often scroll past, but crack van recs are usually pretty awesome so didn't... and wow, again! She says quite a lot with very few words, and I actually got a little weepy.

I commented on lady_altair's site as well, but I wanted to thank you for the rec!
