Fic Rec: To Stopper Death
Jan. 7th, 2008 12:11 amThos of you who haven't read "To Stopper Death" by Chaos_rose, should.
It's Snape/Regulus, Lucius/Narcissa, and Lucius/Narcissa/Snape.
It's a amazing story, really a character portrait of all of them, with a focus on Lucius. He's so old world in this fic, and sympathetic without being good (Just the way I really like him). Here's a man who knows he has made mistakes, who must live as the lone survivor of his group in the aftermath of war -- knowing he has made mistakes and paying the price.
I also really enjoyed the way Regulus was portrayed in the story. I often avoid fics with Regulus in them because we don't know much about him in the books, and when people use him in fic I always feel I'm just reading an OMC disguised as a canon character. but not here - she manages to bring to life Regulus' plight, and all the interesting aspects of his life hinted at in the books, without really stepping beyond those boundaries (aside from the slash aspect).
and other good things, too. but you shouldn't read me rambling about it, you should go read it.
