Yesss! Also, I get it regarding the apology thing, but it just wouldn't...fit? Severus and Lily both have a lot of unspoken things going on, and Lily is very much a woman of action. Given what went down on both sides, words are pretty inadequate, which is why she didn't accept his apology in their school days. She (at least in this fic and characterization) needed proof that he wasn't with that dangerous crowd anymore to forgive him. And Severus at the time was so lacking in any self worth or boundaries, and so desperate for friendship and approval that he was used to always being the one to reach out and apologize to her, to always put the first foot forwards and reconcile them.
Lily is the one to reach out to him here, and that's good enough for him. It shows him that she actually values his company and is seeking it out of her own volition rather than needing to be chased, and it's such a turn around from their former dynamic that an apology would be redundant. Her actions speak much louder than any three year too late "I'm sorry" would. I'll have to make that more clear in future chapters haha
Love that! I'm glad her actions will continue to show as the chapters go on, I thought that this might be a one and done apology where it just pretends nothing ever happened. Can't wait to hopefully see more fluff with Sev and Dame!
