At AO3


One of my favorite dark stories set after the actual war against Voldemort. It is rather realistic in some ways, in others a sound alternative but not really likely. This story is almost like a meta fic - it picks up several dark fic elements but doesn't revolve around them, it merely hints at them, such as Stockholm Syndrome. I recognize several psychological complexities in there, and unlike other authors, RaeWhit doesn't force it on you. They are there for the audience to see and think about, but do not become some sort of psychological thesis. This closely reminds me of Chrysalis. While Chrysalis lacks the dark mood, it also deals with several psychological aspects which are explored in a subtle manner.
