summary: Anthony Goldstein, Ministry Prosecutor, has to prosecute a case involving neo-Death Eaters and the Imperius Curse ten years after the war ends. There's something more to it, though, and he can't get the Auror division to investigate -- so he's going to have to take it into his own hands.

rec notes: Okay, this is filed as a shippy rec because there's a prominent ship, but I'll be honest: I'm here for the gen just as much as the ship. What I love about this fic is that no stone is left unturned on the authors' quest to pick apart various details of the Potterverse and in taking JKR's half-baked analogies to their natural conclusions. The thoroughness and depth of the worldbuilding is staggering, and it's told not only through fic but through newspaper articles, memos, letters, and the like. Anthony is a compelling protagonist and his Jewishness is prominent and written with love. Though this is ongoing, I know roughly where it's going (full disclosure, this is an "I'm friends with the authors" rec) and let me tell you: it's going to be good.
