Okay, so this chapter was written for the "Your Goal: 34 Stories, Our Gift: 106 Reviews" Challenge. So basically there are 34 rounds, in each round, a main character is given. Each character has a list of 5 characters that you must pick from to form your pairing. There is a 6th character which is an option for a non-romantic story.
Round one,
Characters: Snape/Lily
Enjoy! I'll be updating this every week with new pairings!
Drip, Drip, Drip,
Severus let one lone single tear slip silently down his cheek as he walked forwards; the moonlight through the windows cast eerie shadows that reflected off of the mirrors shinning surface. The steps he took forward felt like he was walking barefoot on broken glass. The shards cut deep into his feet as blood began to trickle out slowly like he was bleeding for every single tear he had ever shed, but when he looked down there was nothing there, just the dirty grimy floor boards of an old abandoned classroom left here to rot in silence in the worn away castle.

The memories are threatening to take over
He let out a shell shattering breath as memories flowed slowly in front of his eyes. Her sparkling red hair shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight as she let out a high pitched laugh, her green eyes glittering as she did so… That was one of the good memories, but when good comes bad follows shortly after… Severus saw Lilly's small body crumpling to the ground as two single words echoed around in the air, "Avada Kedavra…" Dust was raining down upon his body and the stench of death hung thickly in the room as he witnessed this attack, but he knew there was nothing he could do… He couldn't save her… Couldn't? Or wouldn't? It was a question he often pondered himself.
He reached one hand slowly out to touch the mirrors surface and saw what he had come for Lilly's pale beautiful faced stared out at him, her hand resting on the mirrors surface as if trying to touch his, but never quite being able to penetrate through the thick glass. "I love you…" They both mouthed at the exact same time.
Pain ripped at Severus's chest as he heard the words of Dumbledore in his head once more "This mirror neither gives us knowledge, nor truth." That stupid old man. He ruined everything for me! If he hadn't talked me out of saving Lily she would still be here now! I hate him! But I know that's not that truth, I know I really betrayed her, it's my fault and I'm too much of a coward to face the truth.

The memories are threatening to take over
She's gone because of me…
I remember our first kiss; we were in a soft, lush, garden. Different shades of green danced across my vision, the sound of life buzzed throughout the air as I listened to the soft beating of the butterflies wings and the innocent buzzing of the honey bees as they set out to work. The silvery mist hovered gently over the canopy of trees. I let the world around me fade out as my eyes connected with the most beautiful thing in the garden. Lily.
"I've been waiting" She said a small smile crept its way across her face as she walked over to me. Before I knew how to respond she had my face cupped in her hands, her rosy cheeks pressed up against mine and kissed me softly, her honey coned scent lingering on my lips for just a few seconds before she pulled away slowly. "Miss me?"

She's gone because of me…
But that doesn't stop me from loving her…
