I wish to heartily recommend to your attention a wonderful HG/SS fic entitled Karakuri by the talented
talesofsnape. The plot is complex, clever and logical, everyone is very in-character, and the writing is top-notch with wonderful turns of phrase, lively dialog and excellent vivid description. In addition to the main characters we get an appropriately sweet/vague (and wonderfully blunt) Luna, as well as a glimpse into the strong and long-standing friendship between Severus, Lucius and Narcissa. There is romance, humor, wit, Dark magic, a mystery abduction, and -- of course -- snark, a given for any tale including our favorite Potions master:
Also, please to look at my flashy new icon, also courtesy of
talesofsnape, which is a quote from the story. Now be off with you, go forth and read.
