    The closest I've ever come to seeing a psychopathic Harry was at the very end of the Hero trilogy by Joe6991.

    Has there been any other "decent" fics centered around a Harry with no emotion or empathy whatsoever?

    Note: I am referring to the medical definition of psychopathy, not the popular culture variety.

    About as close as you're gonna get:

    Parting the Continents by Big D on a Diet

    Note: not for the squeamish, but more for the content/subject matter than the graphic nature. For instance, it can also be found in the "Thank God You Raped Me" thread here at DLP.

    o_O There have been tons of Psychopath Harry's. Just take a look at the TGYH threads, and the WBA section.

    Moved thread to the right area.

    As for stories... I wrote a piece where he hacks up Dudley and feeds him to the Dursley's, but I think that's more 'popular culture variety'.

    I believe you are getting confused by the definition of a psychopath. Psychopathy is literally a complete lack of empathy. It is usually accompanied by amoral acts, but the acts themselves do not make a person psychopathic.

    @Dark Sayoran: Thanks


    @Portus: Thanks i'll have a read of that

    Your interest in psychopathy is... disturbing.

    Some good psychopathic!Harry I know of is this fic written in the second person, and it has a crazy Harry who doesn't feel any emotion burning the Dursleys at an early age, living in a foster family and basically being a brat. Anyone know?

    Skykes, if you read the question posed by the OP you will see that he asked for decent fics.

    Portus probably only recommended that one because of personal taste.

    Turtle, did you say that it was written in second person? If so I really want someone to find it. Soon.

    Fell in love with second person when I read the Goosebumps "READER BEWARE ... You choose the scare!!!" books back when I was ten.
    And let's no forget The Lie I've Lived. Pretty good story.

    Did you mean Bungle in the Jungle? Because TLIL is written in first person, not second.

    First person: "I walk into the room and find a dead body on the floor."

    Second person: "You stab the man over and and over again, as sweat and his blood pours down your face."

    Third person: "She walked into the classroom and sat down. There was a man she didn't know sitting at the teacher's desk."

    I dunno about you, but I find second person stories to be pretty hard to do correctly at all, and I have a hunch that there's a pretty strong reason that there's so few second-person stories out there.

    I actually remember reading the second person psychopath story as well -its a humour genre story mainly - and its not jbern who wrote it. I doubt I'll be able to find it agian though.

    I remember reading a psycho!harry where he becomes a muggle hating serial killer who experimented with potions he invented on kidnapped muggles. Disturbing Vindications I think it was called but I can't remember if it was good or not.

    I believe you're looking for http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5754212/1/Darkly_Dreaming_Harry.

    Entertaining, if not exceptional.

    First Place Sinner. I don't think its quite what you're looking for, but still an utterly fascinating read. Extremely AU with little actual HP-verse interaction. Check it out.
