Flawed Lines at angelfire
I always thought either you write a mentor!Snape or a Snarry story. You cannot do both, you got to choose. Flawed Lines proved me wrong: it is possible to combine both, to even add suicidal tendencies into the mix. This story is one of the few where the ingredients seem awfully incompatible, but in the end? Yeah, something delicious is created. This is more hurt/comfort than romance, more growing up, maturing than actual love. If you don't like slash, if you aren't a fan of Snarry, this is one of those stories that may "break you in".
diagonalist is one of those authors you stumble across every other month or so. Funnily you always recognize the user name but never remember the other titles. Even now, I cannot rec her completely. She got a nice writing style, nice ideas. No doubt there, you just habe to appreciate the good quality of her works. While diagonalist is not the best writer there is, I hold her in high regards.
