Why You Should Read This: One of the entries in this year’s Snarry swap. If you’re a Snarry fan, this is a beautiful and haunting story. It feels much longer than the 6,400 words and packs a punch.
Harry is Severus’ slave. But there’s something more… for Harry dreams…
It’s short enough to tell you more will spoil it. Go. Read.
This was dark, heart wrenching and all right mildly twisted enough. I almost feel it needs a horror tag. Yet, it is wonderfully crafted and worth the read. Thanks for reccing.
