A lovely little fic that hits almost all of my personal kinks. Set prior to OotP, it kicks off with Snape being summoned by Malfoy- and instructed to bring along Veritaserum. Turns out Black has been captured, and Malfoy intends to interrogate him. I always enjoy stories that put Snape in the position of juggling his Death Eater duties with his OotP responsibilities, and this is a nice example. I also enjoy Snape and Black being reluctant allies. Most of all, I enjoy cutting, snarky characterizations, and this tale has that in spades. I seriously cracked up at:
Most of the time, despite the ridiculous Muggle proverb, Snape had found that Misery did not, in fact, love Company. Misery wanted Company to bugger off and die so that Misery could sulk in peace. Screaming Agony, on the other hand, liked Company just fine, mostly because Company provided an alternate target.
Snerk. It goes without saying that I loved the Snape characterization and the bit of Snape-torture was just icing on the fanfic cake. If you want plenty of action and sardonic humor, you’ll find it here. A great read that I’ve visited more than once.
