Good Enough
Title: Good Enough
Author: Perse
Category: Guardian, father/son (not biological)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Post-war, with two most unlikely survivors. (Snape and Harry, non-slash)

Good Enough is a superbly written one-shot which shows how two people make their way through life after the war.  I can't really write a proper review without giving away some things that I think you need to just discover on your own by reading the story, but I shall attempt.  Very quickly you find that everything is not quite right with the opening from Harry's point of view.  It shifts to Snape's point of view for the remaining 2/3 of the story, which works quite well for the circumstances.  Perse writes Good Enough in such a way that it is sweet and beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time.  The last few paragraphs are especially lovely.  This little fic of less than 3000 words manages to have a greater emotional impact than many novel-length monstrosities.

This sounds really good, Julie, and I want to wander off and read it now, but it looks like you forgot about this tiny, little detail... Where is the link? :D You work too much, sweetheart, have a break, eat some chocolate :D.

Love,

Sorry everyone! I could swear that I added the link last night (of course, it was rather late so maybe I'm laboring under a delusion. Thanks Lisamaria0921 for providing the link!

Cheers!
