Author’s Livejournal: [info]nimori
Author’s summary: Once upon a time, a man fell through a veil, and life went on without him. (Snape/Harry, Snape/Harry/Sirius)
Length: short


Reviewer: [info]painless_j

Sirius is back with atrophied senses. Of course Harry volunteers to gradually bring him back to health. His lover, Snape, helps him. Senses return to Sirius one at a time, very slowly. He's impatient and proud, and when things don’t turn out as he wants them to be, he’s furious, but disability limits even his ways to express anger...

“But at the first sign of Harry's hands leaving his, Sirius clutched and clawed, his tendons standing out from his over-thin arms, and his mouth opened too wide for the low moan that followed.
"Shh, I'm here. It's all right." Harry stroked his godfather's hands, and glanced at the door as if to call back Severus, whom he'd sent to shower and check that their house was still standing. "I've got you. I won't let go. Not this time."
Sirius did not react to his words, but when Harry squeezed, Sirius squeezed back.”


The story is amazing. Don’t say I think so because I’m a fan of Nimori. Well, I am, but exactly because she can write such things. The short scenes here create a perfect rhythm; there’s nothing superfluous there, all details work. It’s neither angsty nor fluffy. The language is neither too simple nor too florid or too expressive. Everything is as it should be, as for me.
