Well, for some it might be a form of shock value. They want to create a story that stands out from the more common, positive portrayals of the characters. Others may be exploring the 'what - if' scenarios in a very extreme way. What if Draco, who was on the wrong side in the books for a while, really let his dark side out on Harry? It gives them a chance to delve deep into the possible psychological states of the characters, but again, it's not something that everyone would be comfortable reading or writing about.
I'm not really into fanfictions that involve such dark themes. However, some general places to look for fanfictions are platforms like Archive of Our Own (AO3). But it's important to note that stories with torture themes can be disturbing and might not be suitable for all readers.
One common plot might be Bellatrix using the Cruciatus Curse on Harry to try and get information out of him. Maybe she's after details about the Order of the Phoenix or the location of other resistance members. Another could be that she's torturing Harry as a way to get back at Harry for defeating Voldemort's plans in some way. Or perhaps she's simply doing it out of her own sadistic pleasure, with no real goal other than to cause pain.
Yes, there are quite a few fanfictions with the concept of Harry and Draco being mates. In the world of fanfiction, writers often explore different relationship dynamics between characters that deviate from the original canon. This can lead to some really interesting stories where Harry and Draco form an unexpected bond, whether it's a friendship, a more complex relationship, or a new kind of magical connection.
Maybe Harry has seen a different side of Draco that others haven't. He could have realized that Draco was just a product of his upbringing and the difficult situation he was in.
Maybe in some fanfictions, Draco is driven by a sense of self - preservation. He might believe that Harry will eventually turn against him or the Slytherin house. He could think that by killing Harry, he can secure his own place at Hogwarts and in the wizarding community. Additionally, it could be part of a larger plot by Voldemort or his followers. If Draco is forced to join Voldemort's side, he may be given the task of killing Harry to prove his loyalty.
Yes, there might be some. Some fanfic authors may write about Snape's harsh treatment of Harry in a more nuanced way that focuses on the underlying reasons and character development rather than pure torture in a very dark sense. For example, they might explore Snape's complex emotions towards Harry as he was James Potter's son, but still show some restraint in how he deals with Harry at Hogwarts.
No. Torture is an unethical act in real life, and even in a fictional context like fanfiction, it can be disturbing. The Naruto series is mainly about friendship, growth, and heroism. Writing about a character torturing another goes against the positive values the series promotes.
It depends. If the fanfiction respects the basic characters and doesn't spread harmful or false information, it could be ethical. After all, fanfiction is a form of creative expression.
One great 'Harry Draco' fanfiction is 'All Our Secrets Laid Bare'. It delves deep into their complex relationship, showing how they might interact outside of the main story's battles. Another good one is 'The Mirror of Ecidyrue' which has a very interesting plotline that brings out different sides of both characters.
