Summary: After having his tentative advance rebuffed, Harry has been Imperius-ing Draco into having a relationship with him. He's needed to make the curse stronger and stronger, the more he wants – desire, sex, love, marriage, baby. However, when Draco falls pregnant, the power of the curse starts diminishing, no matter what Harry tries. What happens when the curse finally fails?
Warning(s): Mpreg, dubious consent (under the Imperius)
The summary gives you an idea of what this story is about. But not everything is black or white. Harry is not downright an evil bastard; there are a series of extenuating circumstances that finally push Harry to do this, wanting Draco so badly, being rejected again and again, and believing Draco is the only thing that can make him happy.
And you can see Harry making this huge mistake, that first time. But at the same time this story will show you his side, sort of make you understand how hard it is for Harry to stop after he had that first taste of everything he wanted. That first time will make you see; Harry is not evil, he's just desperate, he just wants so much. And you will feel for him.
And then the next time it happens, you see, Harry also starts falling into this trap, because he starts feeling close to Draco, he even found a potion that allows Draco retain his personality, so it's not like Draco is simply a puppet (though Harry doesn't forget he's taken Draco's power of decision on this huge thing, the most important, even), but Draco is very much himself, only he's Harry's and it's so much easier to pretend.
There's a very human side of Harry, a grey side if you will, that makes Harry want something so badly he finally goes ahead and takes it. It's not excuse, he knows it isn't, and he knows it's wrong, but he wants that life so badly. Doesn't he deserve to have what he wants, too? These are the things this story makes you think about, take in consideration before judging him.
It's incredible emotional and dramatic, the way Harry desperately wants Draco, how he fall in love, he honestly does, and finally facing the consequences of what he's done.
It took me a while to gather the courage to read this story because I was afraid, but it was worth it; it's engaging, moving, so very well written, with great characterisations, and I hope you give it a chance, too.
