Flight
Title: Flight
Author: Sushi
Rating: R
Category: Snarry
Summary:  Very loosely based on The Diary of Anne Frank, in the darkest of all possible futures, the wizarding world has only one concern: survival.

A rather short fic, but very intense. Beautifully written. Set in a bleak future that brings out the best in some people and the worst in others.
Moving, touching and very sad.

I have to agree. 'Flight' belongs to those little works of art which leave your eyes stinging and your heart shattered into millions of pieces. I can never rec it well enough so just click on the title and read it. It will only take a while, but you'll never be able to think about the Muggle world in the same way.

I wish that I liked Flight as much as Maria and Morrighan as it's extremely well-written and quite engaging.  I want to like this story, I really do, but I have trouble with it.  This trouble stems from the fact that I prefer a happy ending (or at least a slightly hopeful one).  That said, there are a few things that I really like about Flight.  I really like the formatting and POV of the story which is fairly unique to HP fic and quite wonderful.  I also like the characterizations and the fact that it has a bit of depth, something also difficult to find at times in HP fic.  I like that in the end, Snape did things on his own terms and refused to give in and I loved how Harry reacted to everything.  An excellently written story with a fascinating plot.  I would definitely recommend that it be read as it's far too good not to read at least once.

I read this story late at night a few days after I finished reading Civil War and was going through my rapid "more Sushi fiction please!" addiction stage.
It broke my heart.
I kept thinking of it for days until I finally blocked it out of my mind like one would try to forget a traumatic experience.
Because I'm not the type to simply leave well enough alone, or, I suppose, because one should face their demons sooner or later, and because coming up with an alternative ending to this story in my head and moving on would have ruined the impact, the powerful message of it, I came back a few weeks later and reread it again, with a clear mind and full expectation of what lies ahead.
Flight is the type of story that you will not be able to come back to reread again that easily. You’ll think twice about recommending it. There'll be a time when you'll regret reading it altogether. There'll be a time when you'll want to erase it out of your mind completely. You will not be able to. If you ask me now, I'll tell you that it's worth reading every single word. At least once.
Sushi has a talent for describing a sociological catastrophe in an understated way, for addressing the universal themes of right and wrong, human nature and love, survival and standing up for something one believes in.
Sushi is also the only HP/SS writer in the fandom to use the word ‘husband’ in a story and make me believe the implications of it because it sounded spontaneous and unforced and very true to my ears.
Flight makes an impact and it will change the way you think and the way you look at life. It's unforgettable. That's what good writing is all about.
