Title: Reconciling Lily's Eyes
Author: Persepolis 130
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: explicit Snape/Harry, Harry/Ginny, spoilers for DH
Author's Summary: Had Harry known bonding with his former professor would lead him to three different countries, a hastily-planned wedding and his pants around his ankles in Snape's sitting room, he wouldn't have quit his day job. Or... maybe he would've... What it's really like to fall in love with someone you absolutely cannot stand.
Length: Novel-length.
Reviewer: Gaycrow
This is my new favourite Snarry. It's humorous, sexy, full of plotty details, with a stubborn, quirky Harry and a snarky, impossibly annoying childish-at-times, Snape.
From the first time he'd set eyes upon (Snape) at the Sorting Ceremony first year, Harry had disliked him, and what was that dislike based on? Sure Snape was nasty, condescending, and sorely lacking in personal hygiene, but that was just the way he was. Did he really deserve Harry's hatred in return? Wasn't Harry a bigger person than that?
Yes, yes he was, Harry decided, and he would prove it. He would make up for his error.
Snape is not having a bar of it ...
"Make it up to me. To... bond," Snape said, looking disgusted by the very concept. "Forgive me if I am slightly less than intrigued. The rest of the Wizarding world thinks the earth revolves around your over inflated Horcrux of a head. The Boy Who Lived. The Chosen One. Why don't you go... bond... with them instead?"
But of course, once Harry gets an idea in his head, he can out-stubborn even Snape.
Persepolis has a lovely style of writing, and her use of dialogue is particularly clever and original. She throws in non sequiturs and goes off on little tangents, but all the while has full control of the story. Her characterisation of Ron, Hermione, Bill, Charlie, and particularly Molly, is perfect. And her portrayal of Ginny in Chapter 10 is brilliant.
Can't recommend this story highly enough. I really, really like it. Go and read it and see what you think.
