kraitFinally, Real Life (tm) has stabilised enough so that I can start making recs again.
"On Wednesday", by Jay Tryfanstone, is an almost G-rated post-war story that nonetheless manages to keep the reader interested and baffled; even at the end, little is explained, although much is understood. The outsider-view of Snape is particularly captivating, too--so rarely do we see Snape from any point of view that doesn't have a Wizard's underlying knowledge, of at least some of what he's been through, of what he does, of what Wizards consider normal.
Given Harry's background with the Dursleys, too, I can imagine the ending of this story is rather like waking up from a terrible dream, adding to the understatedness of the story.
