    I'm looking for a great AU fic that I read a while back. Obviously I can't remember the title or author though I know it featured an Fanfiction.net. Heres what I know:

    >5th year AU
    >Harry ran away from Dursleys at 5
    >Harry was taken in by a research facility and given a 'Jehova' serum or something
    >Harry is a quiet, emotionless, Slytherin, badass who kills without feeling
    >Instead of a wand he uses something like a gun that shoots magic
    >He is missing one arm and instead has a gauntlet
    >He has split personalities who can take over his form, they include
    - A Wolf Monster
    - A sadistic psycho murderer
    - A flying red cape

    I'm sorry thats all I know. I remember it being cool when I first read it though that was a while ago.
    If anyone has read it and knows of it, can they give me a hand. I seem to remember (And this was a while ago) that it was a good Slytherin, Left the Dursleys fic.

    Ooooooooh...boy. They're gonna crucify you for SO many reasons. Most of all, the one where you posted a 'Looking for' topic when, clearly, they don't want you to.

    I'm not entirely clear on the rule (not sure anyone is), but I think this sort of fic search is fine. This is him trying to locate one specific fic that he's already read, with several explicit details. There's a correct answer to this one that will end the search (and I'm not sure if searching the library here would even help). It's the generic ones where asshats just ask for recommendations that get spanked. Or the "Anyone know any good Harry/slytherin girl stories?" kind of searches that make me want to strangle their mothers and slip her eyeballs under their pillows.

    And while the description of the fic doesn't sound like anything I'd be interested in reading, I must admit I'm intrigued at the possibility of a split personality where you think you're a red cape.

    Ah, ok, then. My mistake. Good luck, there.

    Indeed, that would be a tricky one to pull off. Red capes have no sense of stealth, they practically scream "look at me!" all the time. Not to mention that cape!Harry would just wait around all day for people to try him on and wear him around town...

    It wouldn't happen to be Dirge of Twilight, would it?

    It's very loosely based on some concepts from Final Fantasy VII. Namely the character of Vincent Valentine.

    The wolf thing is the Galian Beast, the big dude is Death Gigas. I think... It's been a while and I can't play FF7 on a computer this new (ain't that a bitch). He could also turn into Chaos and Hellmasker.

    Well... I know why it was made.

    We were getting a bunch of "Can you help me find Slytherin!Harry" fics* and shit, when we had a whole section of the Library (at the time) for just that.

    People were making obvious requests, or they were requesting help without having looked prior to the request (ie, a quick Library check would get the link).



    *Funnily enough, this is one of the first kinda topics I made, only I was looking for Aristocrat!Harry.

    Ah thankyou Warlocke! That's it.

    I'm sorry if I did break any rules, but I spent ages looking for it here AND I even braved the fanfiction.net search engine.

    And the whole cape thing is more complicated than just a lifeless cape.
    He flaps and flies around quietly to escape Dumbledore and all sorts. It's a pretty wicked fic and includes a brutally descriptive murder of a certain teacher. I recommend it for those who enjoy that stuff. Thanks again Warlocke.

    Nah, so long as you looked it's fine, I'm sure.

    Without reading I can still think of how great it would be if in times of stress the Cape took over.

    Dumbledore unleashes yet more sacrificial news and Harry just lies on the floor. *Think Cape, think Cape*
