Set sometime post-GoF, the story has Snape, Lupin and Sirius reluctantly joining together to perform a complex spell. When the men learn the nature of the spell, they are even more loathe to work together. However, Dumbledore has deemed it important to the war effort, so they reluctantly comply. To explain much more would spoil it. This story really stands out due to its lush, detailed writing. Very descriptive, without ever intruding on the story. The characterizations also sparkle, and I particularly like this version of Snape. It reads very much as I tend to see him- disagreeable, stubborn, unwilling to let a grudge go, and often juvenile in his continued insults to Remus and Sirius. However, he still remains both sympathetic and even brave, in a way that is utterly real. Great, great stuff. This isn’t really a story I can see taking place after OotP. But post-Goblet of Fire- yes, I can definitely see things going this way. (The Remus and Sirius fans should also enjoy- and I thought the issues brought up concerning the Shrieking Shack incident really added to the story.)
