Shannon's Thoughts: Now, I'm not normally a fan of darkfic--especially of those as long as "Invictus". However, this one is absolutely amazing. Chthonia is one of those writers who draws you in from the very beginning. I could nearly feel Hermione's pain and fear while reading this fic. The author plays the readers' emotions like a master violinist. Warning--this fic is definitely not for those squicked by blood, gore, pain, or psychological and physical torture.
Final judgment: 8/10.
