dracofiendAuthor Website: Walking the Plank Why this must be read:For the lyrical, intensely physical language. For the UST. For the sensual, claustrophobic descriptions of what it might actually
feel like to have a Legilimens rifling through your mind. For the first half, with the rhythm which builds and recedes like dub con but isn't actually sexual. For the sense that Snape's going to burst out of his buttoned-down, snarling self-control at any moment. For the second half, with its wonderfully awkward, funny, tongue-tied conversations between them. For the flash of surprising tenderness.
Harry is dorky and endearing and determined. Snape is enigmatic and tight-lipped to an infuriating degree. You will ache for them both, because
dracofiend is such an incredibly artful and astute writer, a master of poetic intensity and emotional undercurrents.
