Fic rec: Prefatory

[krait]

All right, I know I've read this before, and I loved it, but somehow it never reached this journal.

Well, here I am, ready to fix that. "Prefatory" is one of the most lyrical, emotional stories I've read; it's right up there with "The Rain Keeps Falling" and "Fidelius." In short, it's Severus, and Harry, and a future that might be; a future that, if bleak, still has brightness in spite of loss. It's brilliant, really, and trying to describe it is rather like attempting to summarise Romantic poetry.

Here is Isolde's author page at Skyhawke; you can find Prefatory (and her other works) there.
