The JPW-verse strikes again!

[pauraque_bk]

caesia390 has written a fifth story in the multi-author series begun by amanuensis1's "And Just Plain Wrong".

caesia390's "To The Victors" (NC-17) takes Draco's POV, and -- god strike me down if I'm lying -- makes him sympathetic. JPW-verse Draco is one of the nastiest, most unredeemable characters in the fandom (two words: Hagrid scene), and Caesia never shies away from that, but somehow manages to make us feel for him anyway, in all his madness and despair. The story kept saying things about this universe that were making me think, "Yes, this is right, this is true, this is *exactly* what these stories are about." I'm in awe.

For those of you just tuning in, here's a breakdown of the stories in this series, numbered by the order in which they were written, and charted out chronologically/thematically. Though "At the Beginning" was written third, I think it works best as an ending to the series. I see "Cut With Diamonds" and "To The Victors" as telling comparable parts of the story even though I don't think they take place at quite the same time -- let me know if I'm off, Caesia.

1. "And Just Plain Wrong" (Harry/Various) amanuensis1
2. "Damage Control" (Snape/Harry) juxiantang
4. "Cut With Diamonds" (Ron/Peter) pauraque	5. "To The Victors" (Draco/Harry) caesia390
3. "At the Beginning" (Neville/Remus) arachnethe2

A word of warning: This series involves a great deal of graphic rape, torture, and death. I'm not kidding around. Read with caution.
