Lie to Fall to Darkness by Clari_Nevermore

Summary: Severus is called to a Death Eater meeting. Unfortunately for him, the Dark Lord has discovered that he and Harry have begun to make amends and develop a sort of pseudo father-son relationship. When Voldemort presses Severus for answers, everyone's favorite Potions Master tells a not so little white lie to save not only his skin, but Harry's as well. All he can scrape up is a story saying that Harry may defect from the Light with a little persuasion. As Harry had a childhood similar to Snape's, Voldemort buys it, and then sets this mission as Sev's top priority.

Do with it what you will, but there are bonus points if:

1. Harry agrees (to save Severus, if nothing else) then promptly gets caught up in Death Eater subculture. The Light almost loses him. Almost.
2. The fic is chaptered and the relationship between Snape and Harry is properly explained.
3. Severus brings concern for Harry to Dumbledore's attention, who waves them off as acting skills. This would be fine, if someone hadn't overheard them..
4. The Dursleys die. And Pettigrew. Preferably a brutal death, but Harry's degree of savagery is up to you.
5. It takes place either post/during-OotP or post/during-HBP
