Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 55,000 Approx.
Summary: After a particularly gruelling Occlumency session, Harry practically comes apart at the seams and finds himself living partway between two lives. One is his life at Hogwarts. In the other, he's been in a mental institution for the better part of six years. What happens when Harry realises his whole life may be one elaborate fantasy?
Warning(s): Elements of Non Magical AU.
Jesus, the mindfuckery on this fic is unbelievable. And I mean this as a complement, absolutely.
You see, after a really bad Occlumency lesson with Snape, Harry starts having these episodes (first while he's asleep, but then he starts blacking out) in which he wakes up at a Muggle Hospital, and he's told he's had an accident, and a result of a brain trauma, Hogwarts and the magical world, is only a hallucination in which he's been living inside his head, and his parents are alive, and Sirius is alive, and that's not all, there's a Draco Malfoy also at the mental Hospital he's at. But that's not all, when he falls asleep (or blacks out) and wakes up back at Hogwarts, he's told that it's Voldemort that is manipulating Harry's mind.
But everything is so vivid, both worlds, and in both Draco is a prominent part of Harry's life, and even though they are so different, there are so many things that are the same.
It's hard, because just like Harry, you will love the Muggle world where his parents are alive, and where Draco is this amazing character, but at the same time, it's the magical world, and you know Hogwarts and everything there is real, too.
And of course, Harry can't exist on both worlds, and eventually he has to decide which one is real. It's an amazing read, and… well, it's up to you to decide if there's a happy ending or not, yeah? But it's quite incredible.
