Why everyone should read this:
If this fic were printed on paper, my copy would be as ragged as a Sears catalogue in the outhouse by now. It's without a doubt the hottest thing I've ever read, bar none. Hear that? The. Hottest. Thing. But caveat lector: it's dark, dark, dark. If you don't kink hard for non-con and AbusedBottom!Snape, it may not be to your taste. If you do, though, you will be wondering where this fic has been all your life.

During their school days, Sirius discovers a curious fascination at the root of his hatred for Snape, and forces him into one of the most fucked-up, poisoned relationships I have ever seen in print. It's abusive, it's manipulative, and at times it's even tender in a clumsy way, which is all the more grotesque considering the level of cruelty these two people subject each other to. This story is both an amazingly nuanced tragedy about incredibly real, three-dimensional people, and some of the most smoking hot porn you'll ever read. And there is a LOT of porn. But what will really get you is the complexity of the characterization. Snape is at once vulnerable and ruthless, sensitive and manipulative; Sirius is arrogant and cruel yet strangely innocent; and together, they are a toxic combination.

This story is not for everyone. For one thing, this Sirius is Not A Nice Guy. He does some truly unforgivable, horrific things. He is at no point a caricature, though - Not Exactly Dickens has done the work of justifying her interpretation of him. Also, please heed the warnings - there is heavy non-con, bestiality, and all kinds of other perverse shit that only sickos like me enjoy. If you're squicked by the idea of a relationship that starts out non-consensual and turns into something resembling consensual, you may also wish to avoid. I encourage you to give this fic a try if you aren't bothered by these things, though. It is absolutely unforgettable, and if you're like me, you'll read it over and over again.

Excerpt

Snape was trembling. "Don't you fucking touch me, you--"

"Oh, shut your gob." Sirius leaned down and kissed him. Snape made a muffled sound of protest and tried to turn his head away, but Sirius grabbed his jaw in digging fingers, holding him still. He forced Snape's mouth open and pushed his tongue deep, so deep it had Snape bucking beneath him, straining for air. By the time Sirius released him, both of them were licking at bruised, stinging lips and Snape was panting like Padfoot on a hot day.

"What...do you...want?" Snape whispered again. There was no sneer, no obscenities, no attempt at bravado now. He was in trouble here, real trouble, the kind he couldn't scheme or lie or hex his way out of, and he clearly knew it. Jesus, he really is scared, Sirius realized, and he didn't know if that thought made him feel guilty or glad or just hornier than ever.

"I want you to like me, Severus." He ran a fingertip along Snape's mouth. "I just want you to like me." The finger continued down, over throat and chest and heaving belly, tickling through dark curls and over the soft shaft of the Slytherin's cock. He wrapped his hand around it and gave it a firm stroke, base to tip, and Snape grunted, hips jerking hard. "I'm going to make you like me."
