Unlocking Door PG-13 Percy, Snape Gen
thetreacletart has written a gently powerful story about - gah. How do you explain this?
There are so many layers, but I'd say the central core is Percy's transformation from who he is in the beginning of the story, to who he is by the end. But what brings about that transformation, what he experiences, takes you to hell and back -- all in this soft observant voice -- without ever leaving the Ministry. Truly overwhelming, this story is bordering on the profound, with observations that'll stay with you a while. The ending is as comforting as a warm cup of cocoa. *Icarus staggers away... I'm starting to feel intimidated by the talent in this ficathon, intimidated and awed.*
