All to Ashes (слэш)

Примечания автора:
Warning: this fic has graphic rape scenes towards the end. I'll put up a trigger warning on the chapter for those who can do without it. The story should still make sense if you skip the memory scenes (where the rapes occur).So I'm almost finished with Discretion and Valor, but as I still have no working computer and no access to my existing works until I do, I started this. Which, as it's a trilogy, will keep me busy for awhile.Fair warning, if the tags and above note didn't make it clear, this is a much darker story than Discretion and Valor. There is a metric ton of angst here and not much fluff. Be ready for a rough ride, though the ending of this book is hopeful, and the later installments have plenty of sweetness to balance out the angst.This book is pre-slash. They don't get started on a relationship until the next installment, though it's hinted that they're heading that way. And when they do, there is a third person involved (eventually). An OMC high elf, too. So... fair warning.The Marauders, only excepting Remus, are absolutely evil here. James and Pettigrew in particular are utter bastards. You've been warned.Rape victims in this book are treated much like my own experiences. In other words, like shit until there's someone with power to stand up for them. Creature lore is heavy in this series. The house elves have an important role (for once).With that out of the way, here goes nothing!
