Summary: A somewhat Nietzschean twist on Snape/Hermione. The Potions Master and his best student find themselves entering into a partnership that neither of them could have expected, courtesy of Lucius Malfoy. (author)
Further reading: Minerva McTabby wrote a parody: PtQ in a Nutshell. Several articles have also been written about PtQ and the PtQ wars, for instance Domesticating Hermione by Anne Kustritz.
Comments: This is a very well known and controversial fic in the SSHG universe. It was the basis of the PtQ wars (!!) which for 8 months reigned on WIKTT about 2002. This played a large part in the author not being able to finish the story, and leaving us with drafts and unfinished chapters as an apology. It disappeared from the archives when witchfics.org was taken down, but there are still copies out there, including my own which I give to you. Many people hate it, many love it. I love it.
Warnings: rape/non-con/dub-con
