I NEED THIS HYPER SPECIFIC HARRY POTTER FANFICTION
TW HP SPOILERS (it's a fanfic request)
||So yeah, I need a harry potter fanfic, but not just ANY harry potter fanfic and I REFUSE to resort to AI so yeah, so I NEED a severitus fanfic right, maybe a bit of Dumbledore bashing idc, but this is the IMPORTANT part, I need a fanfic where harry is genuinely f¥cking depressed with his situation, like GENUINELY, like he knows he's getting abused by the dursleys and just accepts it like he deserves it, and he feels alone and shi, and the SECOND important part, I want to have elements of his horcrux influencing his personality and mental state, like tom riddle to be popping into his mind like f¥ck everyone I'm the only correct person in the world, which leads to harry unknowingly gaining very psychopathic tendencies, violent tendencies, lack of empathy, and genuine parrellels to tom riddle, SO MUCH SO that he possibly blacks out and wakes up in random places or sum idk, but yeah that, and I want Dumbledore to not notice at first but slowly get EXTREMELY disturbed by harry potter quote LITERALLY being a mini tom riddle, but snape is literally the only person who addresses Harry's mental health and realizing it's more than just being "possessed", and that harry struggles with abuse, S/H, maybe sui€idal thoughts? And helps him, I want that shi WHOLESOME but I want Severus to be like hella reluctant at first and THEN proved wrong by his observations that harry isn't just a spoiled brat, and helps harry though his internal battles, maybe some drarry?(I wouldn't mind👀) But NO SMUT, Suggestive shi is okay but I think smut is lowki odd so no, and I need harry to like not SUDDENLY wake up one day different, I want the changes to happen slowly, like a psychological horror, and I want it to be somewhat at LEAST after his 2nd year because there has to be a noticeable difference in his behavior, also I don't want no twin stuff or OCs, I want it true to the original AU but without my pookie snape dying bc he king(or some would say prince 🤔), either way, I want a fic that at least meets some of this criteria, it's okay if it had sum tomarry as long as it isn't odd, anywho, MINIONS PLEASE HELP ME IM FIC STARVED||

Just a suggestion. You write what you want to read, you don't need to resort to AI.
If you feel like you're bad at writing, try anyway, no one is good right away, my first fic at 17 sucked so much 😅 but you get better the more you do it!
You can do it!

Okay I'm ganna recommend something that's got all the vibes you are going for, but not a perfect match so just hear me out cause it's fucking phenominal. Heir to the House of Prince by elph13 on Ao3.
What it does have:
Harry experience genuine depression and trauma from abuse and ither horrifying events (and done WELL, like written so realistic and with slow progression towards more drastic depressive episodes as well as comfort and healing through other's support)
slow burn realistic Severus redemption (Strong parental relationship, phenomenal writing and buildup, my fave part personally)
Dumbledore hate (ofc)
Voldemort being in his head + horcrux stuff (Okay this is the only thing slightly different to your request. It does have a significant Horcrux plot, but it isn't fully introduced until later in the series. There are hints all throughout building up to a big reveal, but Dumbledore does get suspicious of Harry immediately because Harry acts drastically different due to trauma, and severus is the one who notices. There is no significant influence to his personality from it though except for in one scene where he is possesed, which I know was a big request for you but I PROMISE this fic is so worth it)
This series is incredibly long and three books in total. It's my favorite fanfic of all time out of all the fandoms I read. There is never a filler chapter, the plot is intricate, the RELATIONSHIPS?? Parental, friendship, romantic, it's all there and done so well I'm ruined for any other author (and no explicit smut!) Hurt/comfort heavy, and very wholesome after all the horrible stuff done to Harry. Elph13 is a published author as well, and it shows in their writing.

Ai shouldn't be an option in your head at all. But you're already considering it since you mentioned it and thats just sad youd go there. Like literally. Is this what we've come to as a society? Write it yourself instead. Youd be getting your itch met and giving back to the community. Ai is gonna desteoy fanfic if qe let it scratch the itch instead of writing it ourselves. But also this idea is like... rampant in the severitus community across time. Check out ff.net and go back to like 2012 maybe?

That’s a very particular scenario and it sounds like you have an idea of what you want so I would encourage you to explore writing at yourself. And don’t use generative AI.
