reenkaOne would think it was impossible-- surely there's no such beast as an in character, entirely canon-plausible NC17 Harry/Snape post-OoTP one-shot.... Right? I mean, Harry/Snape is a pairing that goes against the very grain of canon... right? (Not that H/D doesn't in enough ways....)
Wrong. That is to say, I've finally found an H/S I could believe in. And I studiously -avoided- reading anything but H/S smut 'cause I didn't -want- to believe in them. But![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thisveryinstant's `Truth' completely worked for me. I could... see it happening. Snape & Harry were... human. What's even more disturbing, actually, is that Snape became 'Severus' for the duration of the fic probably for the first time ever-- which mirrored Harry's own shift in perception rather well.
All without prettifying any of their ugliness or resentment or even the physical awkwardness. Snape wasn't the 'hot & sexy Potions Master'-- he was just Snape. And as another barometer of goodness-- Draco was well-treated, too. Not skipped over, not made into a complete caricature-- he had a in-character part, too. God, I love this fic.
I'd love people's opinions on this fic, mostly (well, given that you're at all willing to read H/S). Do you think it works? If it doesn't, why not?
Man, I'm trying to think of an H/D that's equally believable, and can't think of anything outside of Miss Breed's fics. Le sigh.
