and another. whatever is the world coming to? this one has an awfully weak ending, but is brilliantly insane through the middle. novel-length nc-17 harry/snape. l frank baum taken in vain.

It's not just the ending - it's the pacing and characterization. Hermione surprisingly comes off as real, and there are some lovely lines and a couple of nice ideas and individual scenes, but it feels like it should be properly novel length and a rather wonderful book about coming of age without magic and then facing your worst nightmare when you're not sure who you can count on and -

That's the trouble with flawed but fairly good stories. There's always a brilliant one buried just underneath.

yes, quite. but for having the impulse in that direction, i give her points. and a rec. well, i can't penalize it just for not living up to potential if what it does manage is better than some other things i've taken notice of...
