Slowly, But Exceeding Fine by Ellen Fremedon (NC-17)

Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Severus Snape/Sirius Black
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ellen_fremedon
Author Website: Ellen Fremedon's Fanfic
Why this must be read:

This story is just beautiful. Set in the middle of war, two men are brought together by a mutual need for companionship in trying times. The prose never becomes overly gritty despite the fact that it takes us through the war into the aftermath. In my opinion, with a couple that is so unlikely, some stories feel very forced, but that is not the case here. By the end, you'll find yourself thinking - well, that made... a lot of sense. And then you'll frown and ask yourself how that's even possible.

Regardless, it's a wonderfully romantic story that never steps over that thin line into the realm of unbelievable or, worse yet, sappy purple prose. It's a nice grown-up story. Plus, uhm, it has lots of hot, angry sex. Yes, that always helps. ;)

Can I just second this with a "Right On!"

This is the fic which sent me on a mad dash through cyberspace looking for every Snape/Black fic I could find. Really excellent.

There's at least one block of text missing from the version on Thin Line; my website and The Snape Fuh-q Fest (http://snapeff.ebonyx.org) both have the complete story.

Also, Rec! Whee! Thank you! *does happy dance*
