For some reason, unicorns seem like a spring animal to me.
So here, cheer yourself up with a femslash-and-unicorn classic from the talented
therealsnape. You can never go wrong with TRS.

Author's Summary: During her convalescence after the Stunner attack, Minerva enjoys a little light reading, i.e. a scholarly study on Unicorn lore. The tapestries of "The Lady and the Unicorn" lead to a most interesting hypothesis on love and the five senses. One that Minerva examines with her usual scholarly precision.
Why I love this: Did you see the author's name? That's reason enough by itself to love any story. This one has all the trademarks that make TRS's work so satisfying: expert characterizations, a wry and humorous narrator's voice, clever lines, ingenious explanations for missing canon scenes, great insights overall.
Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank is one of my favorite minor canon characters (so beautifully dyke-y, with her short gray hair, monocle, pipe, and terse speech), and TRS brings her wonderfully alive here.
