HP: Nine Adulteries by Atra (Snape/Harry)
I don't read a lot of Snape/Harry, and I think I know why now: it's because this pairing needs to be dark for me. I can't see romance for it. I see only pain, death, anger and obsession. And after reading atrata's Nine Adulteries, there's really no way I can deal with any other kind of Snape/Harry now.
This story messed with my head. I mean, seriously. It's intense, it's fucked up, it's not what you think, it needs to be read carefully, multiple times, with all of your attention and everything you know about the series at the ready. And even then, a purely superficial reading will still make you go, "Holy shit, that's completely amazing." Because it is.
Major spoilers for HBP. And did I mention that it's DARK?
