Fic rec: Drabble, "Afraid of the Dark"
With one hundred words, Wildcow has turned a humourous challenge into an intriguing, and seriously magical, view of Snape. Afraid of the Dark is a dark and innately alternate view of Halloween from Snape's perspective; this is no watered-down children's holiday for Severus Snape, and this drabble is a spine-tingling glimpse into a magic that is both ancient and real and, in these times, too often overlooked.
