Pairing: Sirius/Snape
I found this at the![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif)
bigbangblackout which, because I've been horribly out of touch for such a long time with fandom in general, I completely missed. I went link hopping and fell headfirst into this one after a random click on to 12am_nosh.
The silly story of how I got there aside, this has been so absolutely amazing that I can't really even begin. There was so much honesty and truth in their relationship. Some relationships build quickly in fics, with the rush of sudden and passionate love. This was not the case with this fic, and while there is a great deal of passion (and the obligatory hawt smexy stuff) it's dampened by the horrible reality of the world around them. Years pass and they take the baby steps towards one another.
Really the entire story was amazingly beautiful. That can't be said without saying something nice about Karasu's artwork in the process. I babbled too much in my comment on the lj page, so I'll try to save myself further embarrassment by saying that she did a wonderful job capturing the mood and completely sweet moments of these two together. <3s ^_^
So if I haven't inspired you to read it, then I don't know what's wrong with you. :P
(I really need a good icon for stuff like this...not even a plain old boring Sirius one. O.o)
