Rec for Soul Play

snapesforte has written the first chapter of what promises to be a fabulous fic.
It is a Snape-centric story that picks up where HBP left off. There is a tremendous attention to canon details, and the feel of the story is that of a deeper, fleshed out, Slytherin version of HP. This is a near perfectly-canon Snape, a complicated, ambitious man who is now adrift in a world of his own making. Snapesforte imbues his character with arrogance and familiarity with the Dark Arts, yet gives him further depth by having him not understand fully his own feeling of remorse or guilt over the happenings in HBP. The writing is well-done, the characters are so much more than canon, and there is this general feeling of the Slytherins as not only a group but a culture of their own. Snapesforte makes them real in a way they never are in canon. They are more than two-dimensional creatures. They live and breathe in Soul Play. There are many wonderfully creative details as well. If you are looking for an interesting, complicated, thoroughly canon-based WiP to follow, I would emphatically suggest this one.
I believe that its rating would be equivalent to an R.
