Evitative (слэш)

Примечания автора:
If the premise of this fic sounds familiar, you’ve likely read the brilliant Siebenschlaefer's "Unexpected Consequences". The initial premise of that fic was haunting me to the point that I was losing sleep, so I asked if I could use the same premise. Siebenschlaefer gave me their blessing to go ahead and write this. Despite the first two chapters being extremely similar, I am confident that the two stories are going to go quite differently.
Some notes: This fic will use many tropes that I enjoy. However, despite the genre, I will be avoiding some common tropes such as Ron being an ultradick and Dumbledore actually being evil. I have tagged this “Dark Harry,” but he’s not evil, either. Yes, Harry will be using dark arts, but this will NOT be a grimdark fic. It will eventually be Harry/Draco, but it will not be explicit.
This is also the first WIP I’ve posted in about 20 years or so, and I’m posting the first chapter despite an old promise to myself to never post a story until it was done. I do have about 35K words written already, and the outline is completed. Let’s just see what happens.
The title is a word I’ve been obsessed with for about a decade.
evitative - (grammar) Expressing the notion that something is avoided or feared (as in some Australian Aboriginal languages).
It’s also a palindrome.
