1. This is simply a masterpiece. AR, Victorian time setting and extremely well researched. (darco has the library fines to prove that last bit.)
2. WARNING: this one is also being accused of not being a Snarry, but frankly, who the hell cares? Go read. (If you do care, then DON'T READ IT!)
3. This has to be one of the very best AR!Snapes I have ever read in the five (six?) years I have been in this fandom. Sympathetic, pragmatic, human, and with a hint of feeling in spite of himself.
4. It is, for this year's Snarry Games, relatively short. A mere PERFECT 8500 words.
