Really impressive -- so gritty and raw and yet oddly tender, as they care for each other. Each man is so sharply and perfectly characterized, and you make War an actual character, too.
Lines I love:
“Brought you some smoked goat. Name’s Raquel.” Ahaha! So perfect.
Snape, who has tucked into himself, his hands stuffed into his sleeves for warmth, looking like a black ball of slink. "Black ball of slink" might be the best Snape description I've ever read.
Snape is surprisingly less restricted or repressed when it comes to having emotionless sex in stressful situations.
Merlin only knows what happens at Death Eater meetings. These lines perfectly capture what I love about the with of this story and of your version of Kingsley -- the man so restrained in word and (wonderfully metaphorical) cock cage is also the man who burns to stay alive.
