Arc of Sacrifices/YMMV

Link back to the main page:Arc of Sacrifices (Fanfic)

YMMV tropes in the Fan Fiction Arc of Sacrifices:

 * Alternate Character Interpretation - even for a series renowned for this trope, it still leaves a lot open for interpretation. For example, is Indigena Yaxley admirable for sticking to her rigid code of honour, or is she just weak for not taking death instead?
 * Better Than Canon - often considered to be.
 * Complete Monster: Of course, Voldemort, and Bellatrix Lestrange, not to mention Evan Rosier.
 * Henrietta Bulstrode is//was really, really evil, and it just keeps getting worse as you realize more and more things about her. Like what she did to her daughter, and . Admittedly, he's a Death Eater, so it's really the 'jaywalking' in Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking by this point, but she's supposed to be one of the good guys.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse - Evan Rosier began as a normal Death Eater, but played a pivotal role in  in the seventh book.
 * Growing the Beard - YMMV, but the first three books and most of the fourth just read like a particularly good fanfic. It really hits its stride during the graveyard scene at the end of book four, and keeps on getting better from there.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Every Slytherin save Harry wants to be one. Harry doesn't like the idea, but he'll do it anyway if it will help with his duties as a vates.
 * Very many characters are trying for this, though they tend to fall slightly short by virtue of being unable to see all they can.
 * Manipulative Bastard: Henrietta Bulstrode.
 * Moral Event Horizon:  creeps closer and closer to crossing it as time passes, until
 * The Scrappy - chances are you'll hate Indigena Yaxley by the end of the series.
 * Selfish Good, Selfish Evil
 * Rosier exemplifies Chaotic Selfish.
 * Voldemort, as in canon, is very Selfish Evil.
