Themed list: Voldemort possesses somebody
Posted on November 7, 2007
Filed Under HP themed lists |
I decided to go on with interesting scenarios involving Voldemort, so the topic is Voldemort possesses somebody. The other lists in the Voldemort arc can be accessed from the Themed lists gateway.
What I take:
- I accept fics where Voldemort possesses the body of another character (Harry, Albus, Lucius, etc).
- The fics where Voldemort’s possession of Quirrel’s body is shown are also acceptable, but only if it’s very detailed.
- It doesn’t matter whether Voldemort did it after he had won or lost, or before the final battle, or as an independent plot. All are OK as long as he’s inside somebody else.
King Draco’s code, or Big No-Nos:
- no fics where the fact that Voldemort inhabits somebody’s body is only mentioned but not described.
- Tom’s interaction with Ginny via his diary doesn’t count, nor do similar interactions with other characters. I’m interested in actual possession of a body, as in, he lives inside somebody else.
- Legilimency and other kinds of mind-rape / intrusion don’t count.
- no WIPs that have only a chapter or two written.
- do not bring fics you haven’t read;
- do not bring fics you didn’t like;
- do me a courtesy, please, do not leave only a link. I’d appreciate the following info: author, title, pairing, rating, WIP status; whose body Voldemort possesses. But if you are certain about some fic but don’t remember whose it was or where to find it, just tell me, I’ll try and find it on my own.
Please, be warned that the very fact that I include certain fics here is a spoiler for them! So if you don’t want spoilers, skip this list.
Fics are sorted by TITLE in alphabetical order (articles excluded, i.e. A Necessary Evil is placed under ‘N’.)
These are NOT my recs, it’s just a collection of thematic links.
