Summary: Story arc that spans
Harry's 5th, 6th, and 7th years, which centers around the relationship between
the Boy-Who-Lived and the Dark Lord. After numerous failed attempts to rid
himself of the Gryffindor brat, Lord Voldemort now knows he must change tactics.
But how does a Dark Lord convince a fifteen-year-old boy, orphaned by his
own hand, to join him? Give him what he's always wanted, of course. Read
on to discover how Voldemort manipulates Harry's life for three years to
achieve the balance of power and reclaim the wizarding for his own.
Features: Angst, Cynical!Harry, Independent!Harry.
Other Notes: In Becka's humble opinion, the stories of KrysRoz's saga
are the best non-slash HP fics that have ever been written. Go now, if you
haven't already done so, and bask in the glory that is a fascinating premise,
an amazing plot, stunning characterizations, and even enough angst to keep
me satisfied.

Harry has a vision that indicates Snape may be in mortal danger, and so much
more.
Features: Angst, Borderline Dark!Harry, Romance.
Other Notes: Perhaps I should say that what blows my mind is that
despite its cursory light-heartedness at the beginning, the author portrays
a stunning glimpse of the desperate need Severus and Harry feel for
each other. At odd times I'll remember a scene or a way that something was
worded just so and I'll go back and read it and it's so bloody good
that it hurts.
