The Quickening

Description: In this battle of wills and intellects, neither Severus Snape nor Hermione Granger is willing to give an inch. The result is a fiery feud that threatens to undo them both.
Review: This fic was alright. It starts out steamy and with an interesting premise, but the major plot points of the fic later on aren't really my cup of tea. It sort of devolves into a very OC-AU (which isn't necessarily bad, just not what I'm typically into). I will say that a lot of the steamy scenes are very well written, which is why I was able to continue through the whole thing even though it wasn't exactly my favorite, however the last few chapters were a bit too much for me plot wise. It just didn't really make sense to me. If they would've been earlier on in the story I probably would've stopped reading but it happened at the very end so I just went ahead and finished it. Also *TW* for a N-Con scene.
