I don't usually rec stories, because I'm not very good at putting into words why I like a story (as opposed to why I dislike a story, which is easy). So, I'm just going to use most of what I commented to rec this one.. For 96K, this reads very quickly/flows very well. I love the complexity - the multiple types of magic and science (without going into paragraphs of pure explanation) and the layers and complexities to their relationship. The plot kept me guessing (which, honestly, rarely happens), and the tension between Severus and Harry was excellent, changing just enough as the situation altered to keep it from becoming stale/feeling drawn out.
Really, others said it better, especially perverse_idyll. If you haven't read (or started to read) this one yet, please do (heed the warnings, though, if you're the type to read warnings at all)

In other news, I'm off in the morning on a work trip to denver and salt lake city (a bit of a whirlwind tour, not like I'll get to actually see/do anything) and then to visit Bironic (YAY!!). I don't know yet if I'll be taking my computer / have internet access, so I may not be commenting until next tuesday.
