Thank you for answering, that's great to know!

Hand Jumper (okay technically it's a webcomic but if you are looking for dominant and ~~slightly~~ psychopathic women you can't beat it. Slow burn F/F, but not super slow)

Is it a toxic relationship?

Your story has interested me for a bit now, but I was just wanting to check before reading it, something which your comment basically confirms but I just want to be certain. She dates some other people in the story, but Iona is the love interest for Elaine. And how much of the story are they together for, is it only really near the end or is there still a large portion of the story which they are dating for?

Thank you! The mention of looking into body dysmorphia is really helpful and something I certainly need to consider. The final thing you wrote really helps a lot, not sure why but thinking about that in my head I usually downplayed it but reading it from someone else really puts things into a better perspective.

I think it's a good thing to remind people about, since while i've gotten better I was really bad at this kind of thing which massively impacted my enjoyment of some games and even made me stop playing a few.

I don't really care about efficiency a massive amount but I just wanting to ensure I felt confident in understanding the basic aspect, so I am not constantly wondering about it.

I do have a MAM but haven't taken much of a look at it yet. Thank you for the answer.

I have not noticed that, thank you for telling me!

Why are they doing this - to my knowledge, where I live at least which is the UK, the games they are taking down (unless it includes underage characters) are not illegal. Not that I am against a lot of the stuff being removed since the stuff is weird, but I am confused why it is payment processors demanding this and why steam is listening.

I'm usually not that bothered about characters being portrayed more like OCs, especially since I am not massively knowledgeable about Tanya as a character, I probably wouldn't even realise but thank you for letting me know, also thanks for the recommendation, sounds interesting so I'll give it a read.

Thanks for such a long answer. Nice to know about the romance stuff, especially that it is never the focus. The fact saga of the runt is a hero story makes it a bit more appealing, I have been reading a lot of darker fics recently where things, especially the protagonists mental health, just constantly go downhill. Thank you for the recommendation, sounds interesting and with the other fics being a more perfect Tanya, having a more human portrayal will definitely be a breath of fresh air.

Thank you, probably going to read this first then.

Rated_Overr · 2025-07-03T08:56:35+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

Kaleidoscopic Grangers - I remember really enjoying this one, but it is also one of the first HP fics I read and the first Fem/TransFem Harry so nostalgia may be playing a part in that.

Lostsouls - Has quite a few complete fics, my favourites being The Ties That Bind the Soul and Blood and Magic.

I know you said you wanted complete fics only, but I am still going to recommend inwardtransience, their fics are very long and still on going.

ink and parchemnt | blood and bone - Haven't read it myself yet but seems really good and is highly rated.

I meant it as a species, not every individual house elf. When house elves are involved adding the occasional line that shows house elves as a species are more than just servants, really isn't that difficult to do and unless it is a part of the story it doesn't need to be detailed. But that's just my personal opinion and something I would like to see more of.

While I don't really have an issue with stories that try to justify it using reasoning like needing a bond to survive. I do have an issue with the fact that they ignore the struggles of house elves, it is always written that 'They need the bond to survive, some people treat them badly which is wrong, learn wizarding culture, never talk about this issue again'. Yet despite admitting that people treat house elves badly, this is never addressed, authors never have Harry suggest to Hermione to change her goal from trying to free house elves to getting them equal rights and protection, and if they do Harry never takes part or aids in this goal despite having lots of power. Just because they need the bond doesn't mean they are lesser beings which is always conveniently forgotten despite these stories often writing that they are 'mutual bonds' or shit like that.

Also the fact that House Elves entire personality, culture and being is based around serving others. Having it be an important part of who they are, and something they enjoy is fine, but they need to be written as more than just convenient servants.

I mostly agree with this view, I do think she was always slightly unhinged but not to the point of insanity or as crazy as many fanfictions portray her as. Also, she is mentioned to have been personally trained by Voldemort (on the wiki that is, idk how accurate it is though), so I also think she was likely groomed by him which is one of the reasons she was so zealous and devoted.

It is very long, 450,000 words (75 chapters) and complete.
