Me, a humble Harrymort liker, sees a new AO3 fic with some interesting tags.
Me, reading those tags but then stopping at cannibalism.
Me, waffling on whether to read this or not because everything else sings to me but that one tag...
Me, seeing it's by the author of Heaven Is Your Sleeping Enemy.
Me, upon registering this, going "Fuck it, YOLO. Let's see what this is about."
Me, at the end of the fic, saying "Fuck, they've done it again. This was good food. Okay, maybe wrong choice of words there."
Seriously, that was a good fic. I think one of the things I like most about your take on Harrymort is that the two of them are so very intermingled: body, mind, soul, fate. You convey the bond between them as...the only thing that comes to mind is "viscerally intimate." It's a perspective I really like because you do a lot to explore this and how it's always present, even if under the surface. It's a refreshing contrast to the actual HP books since the bond is more often than not ignored until it's used for some weak plot contrivance/dump.
I am so happy that you said that because that is so much what I love about voldemort/Harry fics. Like there is SO much to explore about their connection that it goes beyond just a regular soulmate connection. I need them obsessed with each other beyond human comprehension. Its one of those things where I LOVE writing it, just... mindless instinctual world ending obsession they have for each other. Like they would watch reality rip itself apart to be together even if deep down they hated one another. The future literally cannot exist without the other in it in some way shape or form.
Harry would rather be dragged down to hell to be with Voldemort to fight/fuck each other for eternity than to go be with his friends/family in the afterlife. He would never truly be happy.
like that kind of obsession.
and then just for a moment they get a taste of what kind of connection they have for each other and it makes them do wild shit. They come out of it and its just like "....oh"
I could go on and on and on.
