A Necessary Evil, by Kai
Title: A Necessary Evil
Author: Kai
Rating: NC-17
Author’s Warnings: This is a horror story. If you have a weak stomach and/or hate experimental fiction, then flee now. I mean it, folks. No fluffy, third-person, limited POV bunnies here! Some readers may find the subject matter and my treatment of it quite offensive. MPREG.

Author’s Livejournal:kaiz
Author’s summary: After the Final Battle, Albus is pregnant (!) and Lord Voldemort is almost-dead yet again.
Length: novella
Reviewer:painless_j
This fic is so strange and gloomy! This *is* a horror story: Voldemort moves into Albus' body as a phoetus. Albus believes that if they give Tom, as he keeps calling him, another chance, a chance for a happy childhood full of love and care, they will be able to change him. I.e. nobody is bad at birth. Neither Snape nor Harry share this opinion, none of them want to allow even a slight opportunity that Voldemort will be reborn, and they believe that this is what will happen. They plot and fight, Albus is old and the baby is devoring him from inside, but he's adamant in his beliefs. The plot progresses with the pregnancy, sinister things happen, the atmosphere darkens - all in excellent writing. The story is told by Snape who reminiscences of the events in the past, and his lamentations ("if only we had seen...", "little did we know..." etc) create nearly unbearable suspence. I was writhing on my chair all the way. Snape's voice isn't similar to all those versions of it we are used to in fanfic, but it's very consistent and, as for me, credible. Limited POV that the author announces in the notes is a perfect device to play with what is hidden from the readers, and it works here very well. If you want to know more about the pairings, it's mostly Snape/Harry, with some - ah- steps aside.
This is a wonderful fic, like many of Kai's.
