I realized, yesterday, that I saved the link to Penance is the Play by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maeglinyedi weeks and weeks ago but never actually read the story so this afternoon I dove in.
Oh, my god. Where do I start?
The premise of lessons with Snape at Grimmauld Place after Sirius' death is not new but this is one of the best interpretations I've read. Harry approaches the lessons willingly and with a plan to seek revenge for his godfather's death. If he can coerce Snape into an illicit relationship with him, he can have Snape fired and, perhaps, even sent to Azkaban. But, of course, it's not as simple as it seems.
I loved this story. I loved this story. Every time I thought it was predictable, every time I thought I had it all figured out, Maeglin surprised me. Her Snape is fabulously in character and just as I like him. Her Harry is as petulant and grief stricken at the beginning of the story as I expected him to be at the beginning of HBP but we see him grow and mature. Penance is the Play also featured one of the best, "Sirius' is death is not your fault, Harry," conversations I've ever read and it was delivered by none other than Mr. Shacklebolt. The sex is hot. Hot, hot, hot. Each scene is hotter than the last which I didn't think was possible after the heat of Harry & Snape's first sexual encounter. And the end, oh, the end. I won't give it away but it blew me away and was perfect, perfect, perfect.
