marinarusalka [Added: 09/20/04 | Snape Sirius Remus James Peter Giles Ethan]I love clever fics- stories that are just smart, that keep me guessing. This would be an excellent example of a clever cross-over fanfic! It’s a long tale, set during the final months of the first war against Voldemort, and it manages to stay ‘in canon’ for both Buffy and Harry Potter, while bringing a young Giles and Ethan into the wizarding realm. When the two human magic dabblers spot a burning skull floating across the London sky, their investigations lead them smack dab into a type of wizardry they had never known existed. Dumbledore, the 4 Marauders, and a young Severus Snape see the potential use for ‘muggle magic’ in the war, while Giles is eager to investigate this new form of sorcery. Ethan? As always, expect him to be looking out for number 1!
This is a rousing story, full of interesting magic, suspense, and action. What I loved best about it, however, was the very clever way the two existing canons were woven together. This is the story of how the Marauders fell apart, the role of Snape in Voldemort’s first demise, and the setting of the stage for ‘the boy who lived’. The writing is excellent, pro level stuff, and the characterizations really appealed. While I’m not a big fan of MMWP, I liked them in this story and I loved both Snape and Giles. I’ve decided the world needs more stories where Snape and Ethan interact- those bits just gave me a big happy! While perhaps not as focused on my favs as I generally prefer, the tale itself completely held my interest, and there was plenty of good Snape- playing one of my favorite roles. Highly recommended reading!
