Fic rec: "Black Story" Senility has set in, because I could have sworn I recced this already, back when it first appeared. Nonetheless, "
Black Story" is worth reading again. Jay Tryfanstone writes the most fabulously
real Snape and Harry; wounded, heart-hungry, with sharp edges and unpleasant truths and need. "Black Story" is a tale of mending: of Snape, desolate and desperate and deeply wounded; of Harry, haunted and hiding; of books and lives, as well as bodies. Very sensitive readers should beware; there's a pretty graphic, if brief, scene involving (child) sexual abuse.
