This is me, alwaysasnapefan, years later reading a lot of hp_beholder fic. I want to apologize for having been so phenomenally rude and WRONG. Obviously I did not understand this story when I first read it, and the style of it is gritty and wonderful in a way that sort of reminds me of one of my favorite books, A Confederacy of Dunces, which describes things like greasy wallpaper and such really poetically, like you have here.
The darkness here in the story, which I absolutely did not grasp then, though I don't know how I didn't because you really told it well, is alarmingly perfect. This is one of the most horrifying stories to come out of this entire exchange, and the way you constructed it and handled it is blowing my mind right now. I agree with the comments about how well you set up the casual relationship between Snape and Eileen only to make the horror that much more stark. I am so impressed. This is the kind of darkness I wish I could accomplish! Not to mention, the details of the game were really well described and I could picture all of the food items well.
Thank you for sharing this. I want to apologize once more. I can only assume I did not read it fully or at the very least had no idea of what I was reading.
