allecto First read: 09-09-2005.

Notes: 10.000w. This fic is written in third person but focalized through Vincent Crabbe, or just Vincent since he's been disinherited, and soon to be Vincent Potter since... that's what's required of him for Harry to live long enough to kill Voldemort. Vincent's voice and personality, which don't include that many words, really, come through so strongly, impregnating everything in the fic with a heady mix of strength and resignation. I liked it enough that I had to write something of my own after reading it,
