Fic: Over the Horizon

Title: Over the Horizon
Characters: Snape/Sirius/D
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 4,230
Summary: Severus Snape is restless after the war, and sets out in search of the cause. The end of the road turns out to be the mysterious Count D's pet shop, and an adversary from the past.
Author's Notes: Written for [info]pimp_my_3some, June 2007. It was a bit of a personal challenge to myself, and overall, I'm pleased with the result.
Although this is a crossover, I've done my best to write it in such a way that one need not be familiar with the other fandom (Pet Shop of Horrors) in order to understand what's going on. Really, it's a Snape/Sirius story that uses an unusual setting as a bit of a catalyst.
Thanks again to [info]artisticentropy, [info]rexluscus, [info]eeyore9990, [info]ragdoll, and everyone who consulted with me during the writing process.
The body of this fic includes the totally awesome art created by [info]artisticentropy, which I used during the pimping process.
