Wow, a terrific fic.
Jul. 15th, 2007 11:15 pmBackwards Down is an amazing story by
pyreneeees (hell yes, I had to use cut and paste). It's a Severus/Regulus fic, short, told in Regulus's POV, and it progresses backwards, and it's...wow.
One of the most wonderful things the author explores is companionship. Belonging to, and not belonging to. It's so well-written, and the camaraderie of Slytherins is so perfectly depicted...both harsh, and warm. I love Regulus, pinwheeling between people, trying to find someone to hold onto. This is a fantastic story, and the slash is so tiny that it's barely visible (just a quick kiss), though it is haunting and their brief interaction will stay with me for a very long time.
Rating: PG-13 (no sexual content except for a kiss, but some violence)
Summary: Everybody knows what happened to Regulus Black.
