More fic ideas
I will be updating later today, but I wanted to drop off a few more ideas first; they seem to be coming faster than usual lately.
The title is from Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130.
Harry’s lovers keep breaking up with him, from Ginny on down, but he can’t figure out why, until one night his latest exasperated boyfriend tells him the truth. Harry sucks at sex. Plus his scars, the shadows in his eyes, his nightmares, the long-lasting effects of malnutrition from his time with the Dursleys, etc., make people who were initially attracted to him for his eyes and laughter and so on uncomfortable as they become closer to him. (This particular boyfriend is especially freaked out by the scarred words that Umbridge’s blood quill left on the back of Harry’s hand).
Humiliated, Harry changes what he can. He uses glamours on his scars, tries some potions that he hopes will make him a little less scrawny, and tries as hard as he can to become good at sex through numerous one-night stands. Nothing much seems to happen, other than that he does become good at oral sex. But in the end, he gives up dating in the wizarding world. Flings with Muggles seem to be his future.
Enter Draco, who is intrigued as much by the reputation Harry’s developed-as someone either so picky or so standoffish that he won’t date wizards-as by any real attraction. Harry agrees to go on a date with him. Heck, what the hell can it hurt? He gets some company for a little while, Malfoy gets a good blowjob, no one should complain.
But Draco wants more than just a blowjob. Trust Malfoy, Harry feels, to ruin a good thing.
Slightly AU from DH in that Bellatrix didn’t die in the final battle. Strange as it might sound, I need her for this plot. She’s just locked up in Azkaban, cackling to herself.
Harry lives in Grimmauld Place for the summer before he goes back to Hogwarts, and intends to make it his permanent home until he finds a place he wants to live more. The problem is, he seems to be changing: his hair’s getting darker, he’s growing taller, his face looks a little different from what it used to. Then he gets back to Hogwarts and Draco stares at him all the time.
In truth, Draco is just startled to see Harry looking so much like the portraits of his Black ancestors that he’s seen. He thought Harry knew what living in a wizarding house that belonged to a particular pure-blood family can do to you, but figures out he doesn’t, and tells him. Harry won’t change in all ways, but some of the Ancient and Noble House business really is about the house. Harry is Sirius’s heir by law, and now the house is trying to make him look like a Black heir by blood, too.
Not to mention the way his character might start changing. The house won’t be content until he also behaves like a proper Black heir.
And then there’s what will happen if he tries to get rid of the house without taking proper precautions.
I’m pleased with this idea. It’ll give me a mixture of drama, action, and horror if I play it right.
(What the hell is this doing here).
AU from the very beginning. Voldemort, after being destroyed by Lily’s sacrifice at Godric’s Hollow, has spiritual but not physical immortality. He drifts around like an evil ghost, and ends up at Privet Drive, drawn by the connection to the Horcrux in Harry. He thinks he can possess Harry and get a body back that way, but the Horcrux in Harry ironically repels him; there’s too much of Voldemort in one body already to add any more.
Deciding to get his revenge another way, Voldemort hangs around and corrupts Harry. It’s pretty easy to do when the Dursleys are being abusive, and when Harry acts “freakishly” as a result of Voldemort’s urging, they get more abusive. Voldemort is helping for a result where Harry either commits suicide, therefore freeing the Horcrux and probably changing Voldemort’s situation somehow, or else becomes evil enough to turn into Voldemort’s service.
This is such a horrendously depressing fic. Especially since I would probably have to write most of it from Voldemort’s POV.
