No, it's not ethical. 'Cult leader' represents a very negative and harmful figure. Promoting or engaging with fanfic related to them can be seen as glorifying or normalizing cult - related behavior, which is extremely dangerous as cults cause great harm to individuals, families and society.
One danger is that it can mislead the readers, especially those who are not fully aware of the nature of cults. It may make cult - like behavior seem acceptable or even alluring in a fictional context, which is wrong. Also, it can attract the wrong kind of attention from people who have an inappropriate fascination with cults.
Power dynamics is a common theme. With Tom as a cult leader, there's often a struggle for power between him and Harry. Another theme could be redemption, where Harry tries to save Tom from his cult - leading ways. And sometimes, there's the theme of mystery, like Harry trying to figure out Tom's motives and secrets within the cult.
Yes, there are. But you need to dig a bit. Check out some of the larger fanfic communities dedicated to the relevant fandoms. They often have sections or tags related to this particular pairing. Just be aware that not all of them will be to your taste, as different authors have different interpretations of how this relationship between Tom as a cult leader and Harry should be portrayed.
Survival within the cult can also be a theme. The reader might find themselves in a situation where they have to navigate the dangerous and often secretive world of the cult to stay alive. This could involve uncovering secrets, making allies, and avoiding the wrath of those in power in the cult.
First, do some research on different cults, but be careful not to promote real - world harmful cults. Just get inspiration from their general structures, like how they are organized, their hierarchies. Then, think about your reader character. Decide on their personality, what makes them unique. For example, are they a curious person who is easily lured into the cult's mystery?
