This is a very, VERY strange story and definitely very memorable. My friend and I made a themed list of odd jobs in HP fics a couple of years ago. It began with a quote that said, among other things, "imagine that Snape joins a travelling circus..." But there hasn't been a fic like that on the list--until now! Whee :) The imagery and the magic in this story are so fresh and unusual! I can't say that I liked the writing style: it often seemed too heavy to me, and the small chapters that showed us the events from the snakes' POV were, as for me, superfluous, not to mention that I didn't always find the POV credible. But I sure enjoyed the story the authors told! Because Snape indeed joins the circus and it's believable! And there are lots of fascinating things there, the whys of Snape's speaking/not speaking and the magic of the circus being only the first of them.
