Review: http://www.katspace.org/reviews/netfic/Author/Shefa#Title_TheEssenceofSunset
Summary: My chambers are dark, lit only by the glow of the midnight moon. The castle creaks with rawness of stone and antiquity of magic, filled with the power welling up from beneath the mountain and the fire of intention fuelled by our four vibrant streams of magic, combined. It is nearly impossible to recognise this expanse of land from just six months ago: pristine grasses as far as the eye could see, cresting on a tidal wave of green, the shadow of grey stone a skeleton underneath. A spider's web holding together an enterprise that, tonight, feels like folly. I had expected to feel exultant.
I don't quite know what to say about this; creative, brilliant,
beautiful, poignant, intriguing, magnificent...
The summary doesn't really tell you what this story is about; suffice to say,
it weaves back and forth between the time of the founders, and between
different versions of reality, of a Severus we know and a Hermione we don't.
This is a must-read.
I will be sad if nobody is reading this...
