[FIC] The Conjugal State - Snape/Filch [NC-17] by Mystery Author.

I'm usually not this amenable to forced-bonding fics. Too easy to me. Half the fun is getting there, y/y? But every now and again, someone puts a new spin on an old trope, and I cave like a kid's sandcastle washed out by a high tide.

On Albus's insistence, Snape agrees to the Juris Vestae, a binding ritual in which Snape is bound to Albus by loyalty. Only things go horribly awry and Snape finds himself married to Filch. Why, you ask? Because Dumbles fucking boo-booed and doesn't own up to his mistake.

Pitch perfect characterisations for both Snape and Filch, and I am oddly amused by Filch's desire to follow the advice of a magical marriage self-help guru, who's somewhat of a June Cleaver-ish extremist, to please Severus. There's plenty of laughs and charming anecdotes, and because the Snape/Filch cache of writers is so small and distinctive, I have an inkling as to the author. Positively loved this!

I normally hate the whole notion of forced-bonding fics, but somehow this one...was just right? (Teaches me to have such hard and fast objections.) The fact that it was Dumbledore's mistake causing Snape discomfort yet again just made the whole thing that much better. M.

I know, right? It seems we both have hard and fast objections we need to lose, Maggie. But yes, Dumbles having made the mistake made it absolutely priceless to me. *g*
