So...this story. Everybody knows it by now, right? If not, it's worth the read for at least a few chapters simply because it is a piece of fanfiction history. Upon reading it, I was filled with the overwhelming desire to try inserting a relatively normal person into the story, so that's what I did. If you've got the gumption, feel free to follow Adrian into this literary cess pool.

To stumble upon a rippling pensive can be both a gift and a curse, for what lies within is only known once there is no turning away from the memories. Harry finds himself lost in one of Snape's discarded horrors, but to his shock, it involves Harry's father, young and surprisingly...affectionate. Rated M for rape and other obscenity. James/Snape.
