RATING/WARNING(S): PG-13 | 'Not a happy piece. Spoilers for HBP.' Darkfic.
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | ~900 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape
FIC SUMMARY: Dumbledore does the unthinkable to create the perfect spy. Things don't go as planned.
RECCER'S NOTES:
Signing in as your second (& sluggish) Gensploder for June. I'm going to try to highlight a range of fandoms, some big, some tiny. Hopefully there'll be something for all tastes.
A powerful look at the relationship between Dumbledore & Snape through the lens of the wonderful crossover premise that Dumbledore created a Frankensnape to be his spy. The metaphor works as an excellent character study of the darker side to Dumbledore, willingly sacrificing those whose lives must be rendered to the cause, unable to love without manipulating. It's also a thoughtful coming-of-age story for the Creature. Canon events are deftly reinterpreted, and the ending is chillingly inevitable.
