Unfortunately, still not complete (read up to ch.20 Y6p5). With the last update having been seven years ago, I doubt it will ever be.

Quite a ride, but missing the resolution it’s… sometimes weird, in things that would certainly be cleaned up some way or the other in a finished story.

4.5 stars

A canon compliant divergent of Harry getting sorted into Slytherin. It’s slow and diverges gradually at the start building to Greatness over time. This is a realistic and incredibly well written fanfiction. The only 'flaw' is that it’s been in progress since 2008 and it’s impossible to know when it will be completed. When it is, I expect things to come together in a way that makes this a 5 star story.

I had forgotten how much fun it is to read HP fanfic and this is good fanfic. In general when the characters behave differently from the book there's a reason presented for it (e.g. the twins with Umbridge) although in early chapters this isn't always fully convincing. Loving the consequences for politics and Harry's image in later books and how Slytherin intra-House politics work

I loved the Slytherin view, the way Harry grew up and how distinct he was from the Harry we all knew and love. His romantic interests also made sense, and didn't seem forced, or weird. I wish the author updates again, seeing as the last update was 3 years ago, and the update before that, 7 years ago.
