The Obligatory Warning and Cautions: Hermione/Snape; NC-17 warning for occasional graphic sex, frequent vulgarity, and dubious consent. (See footnotes on that last.) Chaos has been cited as a response to the WIKTT Marriage Challenge, but is not: it's more a reaction to many of the rosier and more unrealistic stories that challenge produced. It was also written not long after the invasion of Iraq and institution of the Patriot Act -- not to mention during the prison abuse scandals of Spring 2004 -- and is chock full of political frustration, and examination of and commentary on those matters as well as more general Social issues such as Reproductive Rights and Marriage. Therefore, caveat lector: if you like Romance and more escapist fare, this is probably far too gritty for your taste.

If you're under the age of consent in your country of residence or Mom/Dad would thwap you for reading more mature material, GO AWAY NOW. Besides, chances are there's not enough juicy stuff to keep you from being bored stiff (see note above regarding political commentary and Social issues).

Chaos was written specifically for publication on Livejournal, and is far less graphically-intense than the other works you'll find on this site. I have no plans (or time, unfortunately) for a re-vamp or turbo-charge, although there are some changes from the LJ version.

The Other Obligatory Notes and Warnings: Hermione Granger, Severus Snape, and other obvious canon characters belong to J.K. Rowling and her literary assigns, not me, and no, I'm not making any money off of them. Any original characters and constructs of mine are usually identified in the footnotes; please check with me before snagging them, or if in doubt. (I borrow with permission from other people, too; attribution for something not recognizably canon doesn't necessarily go to me.)
