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

[livejournal.com profile] 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.

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

Yay! This table looks awesome! I feel so happy that my fic is a part of this project! It's so exciting and, I think, very unique - because the stories are written by different people and from different points of view - and there is much more said about characters than one author could ever say.

I think all the stories (apart from mine, that is :-)) are just great! The series really need a special site as Ara said :-) But so far I'd at least like to have the stories on my site as well :-)

It really is an interesting phenomenon, the way we're all borrowing ideas from each other and spinning them out into new stories and points of view. But I suppose for fanfic writers it's only natural!
