I read all 20 chapters of Tempus by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ravenna_c_tan in one sitting on friday night (how exciting is my life?).
Author's summary: Students at Hogwarts have always been warned about corridors that appear and disappear. Did you ever wonder where they go? Or when? Harry thinks he is late to his seventh year potions class, but he turns out to be more than seventy years early.
So. Um... Words to describe how wonderful this fic is... Simply put, it's stunning. A wholely unconventional approach to a subject that's been done (badly) a hundred times before. It's one of those stories that draws you in so you can't look away from the page, and you fall in love right along with the characters. The then-and-now contrasts are wonderfully done and leave lots of "what-might-have-been"s floating in your mind. I love fics that feed your imagination even after you reach the end.
But read the warnings for each chapter - there are some bad characters who do nasty things. IMO, this is part of what makes the story, but some may be squicked. Use your own discretion.
