Rec: "Non-Verbal" by anon (Snape/Harry)

I really did think there was nothing new under the sun, when it came to Legilimency! Snarries. Nice to be proven wrong.

Title: Non-Verbal
Author: anon
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Rating: NC 17
Warnings: no. (the character death mentioned here isn't going to upset you, I promise) Harry is over 18, too, so my Aussie friends will like this one.

Summary:Harry loses his voice in the final battle with Voldemort. Snape offers a unique skill in the process of getting it back.


Snape penetrating Harry's mind . . . who could ever tire of that? It's a cliche among Snarries, and I actually hadn't seen much of it lately. But this story gives a new twist to it, and the fresh spin works very well. Harry has lost his voice in the final battle, and the POV here as someone who is mute and who must allow Snape to enter his mind (because Harry cannot speak) is very well done. The analogies drawn here between Legilimency and sex are quite good, and the sex is . . . well, effective. And the ending is quite pleasing. Who could ask for more? Enjoy.
