Title: Standing on the Shoreline
Author: citiesandsigns/tofsla
Other pairings/threesome: Snape/OMCs
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 20,000 words
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *crossdressing; semi-public sex; a considerable quantity of alcohol, much of it illicit; dubious mental health; EWE and conspicuous but unexplained lack of one canon character death*
Summary: In which Snape balances uneasily between worlds. Dresses, books and a little herblore. Autumn 2012 and Winter 2013, Cokeworth.
A/N: Although this story has very much gone its own way in terms of both style and content I feel as though it owes some sort of conceptual debt to Rinsbane's The Fire Escape (locked to registered users) anyway; points of resemblance duly acknowledged. Further debts are owed to C for beta work, and to V for discussion of herbs and books, and to both of them for very necessary motivational arse-kicking.
