    Title: Harry Potter and the path of Faust
    Author: IEmB00tz
    Rating: M
    Pairings: none for now, probably Harry/Many
    Status: WIP (first chapter)
    Summary - After OotP. What if when Harry told shouted at Dumbledore that he didnt want to be human anymore, what if someone else had heard him, what if that person happened to be the Devil himself, and what would happen if he trained Harry? Ron,Hermione bashing.Evi
    Link - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2761417/1/

    Brand new dark!Harry story on FFN.

    In hidsight, this is yet another post-OOTP story where Harry starts training in dark arts and ass-kickery, so he could fight back against Voldemort, as well as Dumbledore and his ex friends/spies. Original twist here is that he gets training from the Devil himself.

    Well, if we put aside idiotic plot, clished and overpowered Demon-like Harry, nonexistent characterisaation and the most idiotic weapon ever seen in a HP fic, we could maybe call this story fun to read, in a weird StainedFuture sort of way.

    Who knows, "Path of Faust" might turn interesting when Harry starts killing people left and right while chasing girls and bashing his former friends. But for now, this stays firmly below average.

    If it is Stained-Future like then it will only get worse when he starts chasing girls...

    At least now it doesnt have any clinically written sex scenes.

    No, but his Harry has a weapon that looks like an 100-times enlarged Atomic Ant's antenna, leather trench coat that's tied up with chains over his bare chest, wand implanted in his hand and cuban cigar clenched in his teeth. If you can't mutate him into Wolverine or a Jedi, why not make him into Hellboy? After all, it's perfectly logical.

    Bah I was going to do the wand implant, but after seeing you say this guy's doing it, and how bad it sounds I may rethink it =(

    (Explanation was he can't do wandless magic, but he wanted to bluff folks into thinking he could, so he shrunk the wand and places it inside his arm in the area between his forearm's bones)

    Inside YOUR closet. Go check.
    I don't think Harry's innovative enough to think of stuff like that. He's creative in an "on the fly" way, not planned out and thoughtful.


    And if it was REALLY that simple I think others would have done it before (Dumbledore, Voldemort, some other Mage, etc.

    Other wizards probably didn't do that before because it'd probably be hard to do intricate wand movements, it'd be hard to channel magic through a shrunken wand, or something like that.

    True, but why would others do it if they already could the normal way =)

    I read this when it was just posted and I nearly cried.

    Really... this should be in the unrecomended section... then again, when I read it I was really, really, really, really tired and on the verge of passing out. Still, from what I remember of it... *shudders*

    Dunno about this story. I like the idea of Harry siding with the Devil, but i dont like the super!Harry in it. He should have gotten gradually stronger and not in 5 min. I can tell you story in one sentence: Harry getting laid and afterward killing all of his enemys.

    Just read this a minute ago.It's really really rushed, and the guy needs someone to help him with spelling or more specifically punctuation, and to tell him to slow down.

    Harry gets way strong too fast, and the whole chapter reads like you're talking to a sorority girl on speed. I like the Faust reference, but it could of been handled a ton better then going off such a throwaway line like "I don't want to be human" from OOTP.

    He really botches Dumbles and Ron/Hr by revealing they're spies in such a careless manner. An important plot point is just tossed out like an afterthought

    I'll keep up with this just to see how inventive he gets killing everyone, but other then that I'd slap it in unrecommended as well.

    If you put the wand between the forearms bones i believe the spell would just impact against the wrist bones and then no more hand, god forbid he cast a reducto.. ewww.. gore galore

    this was physically difficult to read. far far to reminiscent of stained future. i didnt even like the way he portrayed the devil.

    -Be nice DGD, there may be a legitimate reason why it's spelled like that. If it becomes a repeat problem, then yeah, guns free. Remember we're only mean to ppl who deserve it -Mid

    Sorry, I just got annoyed. Bad spelling + headache + uber late at night = some what delusional annoyed rant.

    I offer you a cool smiley as a peace offering.

    I thought it was somewhat reminiscent of the Verlon666/feartheturtle incidents.
