A Touch of Infidelity

Infidelity is actually very common in RL, but is rarely explored in the often-idealized romantic world of fanfiction. And yet, this theme can result in beautiful angst, in the hands of a good writer.

The stories below all deal with the theme of infidelity, which one of us (Regan) finds interesting. How each one handles this issue varies: in some, Snape or Harry is cheating on the other, while in other stories one of them features as the third party (e.g., Harry is in a committed relationship with someone, and he's seeing Snape on the side), or the infidelity is even more complicated than that. What they have in common is that they're all unusual.
