    Title: The Horse, the Leopard, and the Serpent
    Author: CHEVEYO
    Rating: M
    Genre: Drama/Romance
    DLP Category: Independent Harry or Dark Arts
    Pairing: HP/OFC - listed as Harry/Hermione, but isn't
    Status: Complete
    Summary: Post War: Voldemort wins, Harry Potter is said to be dead, or is he? Tyranny ensues. On girl put on the auction block and bought by Lucius may change everything. Rated for sexual content. This is an OC fic with HP. HGDM though.

    A story I found years ago, just though of it again. I found it to be a relatively fresh look at Post war what if Voldemort won. It is narrated through the point of view of the OFC for the fist few chapters if I remember correctly, and while there is initial OFC/Lucius, it isn't what you'd expect. It was mostly error free, the writing flows well - all in all a smooth read in my opinion. I give this a 4.5/5.

    Doesn't look to be that error free, and will probably suck. But I'll give it a go.


    Edit:

    Jesus christ, you call that good writing?

    1/5

    - describing the OC love interest.

    I considered copying and pasting the very first paragraph, but went for this one instead. It didn't have more errors, per se, but something about it reminded me very much of My Immortal.

    I'd rate My Immortal higher than this out of sheer lulz.

    2/5 - and the only reason it isn't 1/5 is because I didn't read past the first few chapters. It could get better. I doubt it. There's a lot of better to get.

    Edit: I just read My Immortal again. I was right. It's better. Bumped this down to 1/5.

    Oh Lucius you dog. ;)

    This is without a doubt, the greatest fic since My Immortal. I'm lolling every minute.

    I give it a 4.5/5 too. As the aphorism goes, "Laughter is the best medicine." The fact that the OP can put himself in the mind of the OFC so he can be fought over by the Malfoys is just hilariously gay.

    PRK is either a troll or hasn't lurked enough. Lurk more, good son. This story couldn't be gayer if it was about Harry as a horse, Ron as a leopard, and my penis as a serpent.

    The Horse, the Leopard, and the Serpent - Chapter 47

    116,765 words, 47 chapters full of FAIL. :awesome

    I've just skipped through some of the first and last chapters and the author doesn't improve his writing quality much, if at all. Bad grammar and pathetic dialogue make it impossible to read this lengthy sermon. I can't and won't judge the plot or the characterisation, but just the mentioned problems make this a sure candidate for the trash bin.

    2/5

    This is a work of that should be displayed in the louvre. I vote this glorious fic a 4/5.
    This is just a sample of the greatness in this fic.

    That quote was hilarious. I don't think i've ever seen Voldemort die in that bad a manner.

    *dies of laughter*

    I was going to post selected hilarious portions of Chapter 47, but the entire thing turned out to be full of WTF. Seriously, just read the last chapter.

    HOW CAN YOU INSULT THIS STORY! THIS IS THE GREATEST WORK EVER. NO SERIOUSLY, EVER, I GIVE IT A 10/5. IT'S THAT GREAT! I LOVE THE MAIN CHARACTER I WISH I WAS JUST LIKE HER.

    Actually I just read the first and last chapter and it was painful for me to read. 1/5
    And what's up with all the ellipses?

    After your ^ latest recommendations, you have very little room to try to be funny.

    Perhaps. Although, I did say that the first one went crap once I read the updated chapters, the other one... I did like, but then I suppose people like different things. For example, I don't like Mary Sues which this story has one of. You may really like stories with Mary Sues in them. I don't really know.

    You need to get out more

    That being said, the last chapter was pretty lulzy, but lulz doesn't get you into the library.
