Corvus Fallere, by Mouse

Title: Corvus Fallere
Author: Mouse
Rating: NC-17
Author’s Warnings: this story is chalk full of things other people don't want you to read about. Sex, BDSM, Slash (gay sex), Het (non-gay sex), non consensual sex, slavery, violence, death, and birds. Not necessarily in that order. But, hey, you're into that... right?

Author’s summary: How long do you fight when you've already lost? Harry, Ron, and Hermione must survive in a world where all is not what it seems; but what it seems is unbearable.
Length: novel-length


Reviewer: [info]painless_j

I was blown away when I first read this fic. It has plenty of kinks I don't like, but it's so powerful that I was unable to stop reading and so memorable and original that it's impossible to forget.

The story is a dystopia where the side of Light has lost. After long months of imprisonment, Harry, Ron and Hermione have to face the prospect of becoming slaves -- without any rights or even names. They are taken by Snape for tuition and training and surrounded by weird creatures. The training is hard, aimed to break and recreate them as something else entirely.

Beside being dark, the universe is really bizarre. But it has certain logic. Yes, it's dark but Snape here has enough ambiguity and dark appeal to keep his new slaves on tiptoe, torn between self-loathing and disgust on the one hand and fascination and attraction on the other.

The author masterfully plays on the differences in Harry, Ron and Hermione's psychology to move the story along. Who will submit first and why? How will they fight and why? What is this strange place they happened to be locked in? What are those creatures that sort of serve them but sort of own the place?

It's not a fic to be missed, really.
