author: TobermorianSass
rating: T
tags/content: Espionage, Cold War, Politics, Wizarding Politics, Action, Spy thriller, Racism, Wizarding Racism, Xenophobia, Conspiracy, Wizarding History, The Wizarding version of the Cuban Missile Crisis & Berlin Crisis smashed into one, Pre-First War with Voldemort
summary: Being a collection of personal accounts concerning the events leading up to and following the German Border Crisis of January, 1968, the details of which have hitherto remained obscured from the public eye.
Or, the story of how Amelia Bones singlehandedly saved wizarding Europe from nuclear war, Rufus Scrimgeour got his limp, Nobby Leach was forced from office and Augustus Rookwood got his dark mark.
wordcount: 43k
rec notes: This was written by a friend, for a fest that's close to my heart: Obscuro, which focuses on genfic about minor characters. And this is exactly the kind of thing I look for in that genre; there's politics, there's drama, there's action, and most importantly, an ensemble cast of minor characters, all of whom feel fleshed out and very real in the world they inhabit. This fic is a stunning example of a spy thriller that really lives up to the genre name, i.e. it is utterly thrilling. Once you start reading, it's hard to stop.
