Review: http://www.katspace.org/reviews/netfic/Author/Gelsey#Title_ThirdStartotheRight
Summary:Ten years after the war, Severus Snape is declared legally dead despite the lack of body, and Hermione Granger is given the responsibility of dealing with his estate by being the only member of the Order of the Phoenix willing to do so. But at Spinner's End, she finds a book on a child's bloodstained bed: a copy of Peter and Wendy. When she somehow falls into the story, can she and Captain Snape find a way back out?
The idea of characters in one story taking roles in another has a long-standing history (just think of the movie "The Wizard of Oz" for one example, not to mention Jasper Fforde and various fic challenges). Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. This one worked very very well. Not only were the mappings very fitting, but it was more than just a there-and-back-again; issues had to be confronted, and neither of them would have gotten free if they hadn't had faith in each other. I really liked this.
So... what do you think?
