Why this must be read:
Perhaps my very favoritest fanfiction trope is the 'forced marriage' one. It's like 'aliens made them do it', only they're forced to work out their relationship instead of just having sex! Harry Potter in general, but especially Snarry, fandom is just *full* of stories where Snape and Harry have to get married for the sake of the mission/to save the world/because Dumbledore put it in his will, etc.
This story is a particularly awesome example of the trope because 1) it's a threesome; 2) Snape is forced to do the Courtship ritual instead of Harry (most stories take away Harry's choice, and the poor dear doesn't need any more of that); and 3) all the characters partaking in the Courtship ritual here realize just how awesome Snape is. I do like when authors get to show up how very awesome Snape can be, his good side, if you will. Threesomes can be either greatly satisfying (no one has to choose), or sadly unconvincing (three times the relationship troubles): this one is definitely the former. Draco as he's written here is a perfect companion for Harry and Snape.
