timepiececlockAfter nearly a year, God of the Lost has been updated.
It is, bar none, the finest Harry Potter fic I have ever read. It's one of the finest adventure fanfictions I have ever read. It is the scariest fanfiction I have ever read. (Just thinking about the frogs or the unicorns makes me want to seriously freak out. THIS FIC RUINED UNICORNS FOR ME.)
I am fanatically pleased that it's still in progress. Because we're building to a climax and I've got emotional investment in the outcome.
(It took 19 chapters but I finally realized what the title meant. Whee!)
Thing to know: Technically it's labelled HG/DM, but really, that's a misnomer. This is pretty damn far from romantic. It's... insane and scary and brilliant and reads like a fucking roller coaster. Half the story's about those two and their battle for survival, and the other half's about Hogwarts. Imagine full-scale interhouse war. Out of even the teacher's control. Now take what you just imagined, and make it five times cooler.
That's this fic.
Screw book 6. Book 6 was good, but if it had been half as awesome as God of the Lost, JKR's already happy pocketbook would have grown to three times its size.
