The Paradox of Existence by Dragonlight (NC-17)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Snape/Harry/Snape

Why this must be read:
Harry goes back in time to serve the Order by translating Voldemort's stolen plans from Parseltongue into something more comprehensible. And, on a more personal note, to see his lover, his parents, and his adult friends before Voldemort changed everything. But unbeknownst to him, his lover, Snape, has his own motives for allowing Harry to play the part of Octavian Tyler, motives which are somewhat mercenary.
I love the intertwined love story: Harry's seduction of Professor Snape mirrors and influences Severus's seduction of Professor Tyler, and vice versa, the insecurities and lessons of each past informing each present. But even more, I love how perfectly the fic avoids becoming a Harry-Sue; Octavian Tyler seems pretty bad-ass to all the Hogwarts students, but in private he's still stumbling around in the dark, like all adults. It's a fantastic read.
