Summary:
Hundreds of years after the Final Battle, Voldemort is finally the Emperor to his own Empire. He has a rising revolution at his back and the reappearance of an enemy thought to be extinguished. The traitors of the dark search for the missing piece to end the reign of the Dark Lord, but what can they do when Voldemort has their savior's body and the soul is lost? SLASH. VERY DARK. Major OC alert, but mostly focuses on Tom and Harry.


I am not sure if this will meet the demands.After all,the pairing seems to be very unwelcome here .This story a personal favourite. I just think not enough justice has been done to this story,so I can't be in my good conscience without struggling for it a bit. Especially after it left me stunned for a quite long time.

The pairing actually makes sense in this story in its own way. Sure,a lot of stories with this pairing is either porn without plot or guilty pleasures for some people.

Spoiler: Here's why.

Basically Voldemort obliviated Harry after finding out what he was and kept him as his secret consort Hostem for 80 years. Then he restored Hostem's memory because he missed Harry's spark and rebellious spirit. Harry lost everything then,everyone he once knew were dead and he wander out of the mansion.There was nothing left to fight for.Cause all the people remaining then were his enemies offspring.Suddenly Voldemort became his everything.His years as Hostem ,a bit Stockholm Syndrome and nothing to fight for probably caused the love .

The world-building is very brilliant. Form multiple povs,the oppresive reign of magical Britain(maybe plus Europe)is depicted vividly.Most members of this society get arranged mostly loveless marriages through the marriage contract from a very young age(quickly snatch a contract for your children or there will be no one suitable left in the market)The parents of one of the main ocs were a pureblood who had made mistakes and a mudblood. According to that oc,his parents are only there for the breeding purpose(keep having children until they couldn't then they would work as slaves). The mudblood was for introducing new blood without diluting the pure blood too much. Their children are given to proper families as wards. The oc didn't give a damn about his parents who he had never met. Aside from those above,there are some quite original magic.

The ocs are very high quality and fleshed out. There are some very memorable ones. Don't get attached to any of them ,because they don't have a pretty end.

The dynamic of Harry and Voldemort is very interesting.

Spoiler

Two powerful immortals with such a twisted relationship are all very obsessive of each other.Sometimes they threw very big and bloody tantrums out of some relationship issues ending up getting many people killed or worse.Voldemort went to length to fix their relationship and spite Harry(marry again and again,keeping a harem and etc.) instead of actually facing Harry himself.

Multiple povs from confusing ocs and flashbacks slowly unravel all those mysteries. The ending is both expected and unexpected. For me,tthe second read felt very different from the first time with the knowledge of what Voldemort was doing all those for.

The major alert is this story is very gory and has many disturbing topics like rape,torture,cannibalism and etc. You have been warned.

 

Yeahhhhh, that's a hard pass from me as well. The entire premise is set up just to railroad one of the more disturbing pairings in the fandom. This time with extra Stockholm Syndrome.

I won't shit on anyone for liking this, but it is thoroughly NOT my cup of tea.

With these tags? I’m a pass.

 

I too am extremely against smoking. It's gratifying they tagged it as a warning.

 

After a while,I have found out I was committing suicide. ಥ_ಥ
I think the main reason I recommended it is because it has quite nice dystopian world-building and decent fleshed-out ocs.
Now I have learned my lesson.
