Educatum Esse by Delphi (NC 17)

Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Severus Snape/Albus Dumbledore

Why this must be read: When I was reccing two stories the other day I said these were two of my three favourite short stories in the fandom. This is the third.

It's one of these stories that go and twist little details and with that twist the entire fandom into something you didn't dare think of before. In this case, it's a young Severus Snape being abused by Albus Dumbledore.

This story won't leave you alone. It's gut wrenching, psychologically accurate, and painful to read. Not because it's overly explicit - it isn't - but because of Dumbledore's coldblooded betrayal and manipulation, and because of a young and smart Severus who thinks he understands it all.

I think the world of this story, and feel as though no rec I can write will do it justice - so you better run along and read it for yourself. I'd give you a quote, but the writing is so beautifully dense and consistent that it would be a shame to quote any of it out of context.

The author's warnings are: Underage sex and dubious consent.

Educatum Esse
