Why this must be read:
This fascinating--and rather creepy--character study is one of the best Peter-centric fics I've ever read. It's the kind of story that makes you nod and say to yourself: "Yes, this makes sense. It could be canon."
It's nothing, he tells himself. What he sees, what he thinks, the powerful impulses - they don't affect him and they aren't from his head. They can't be because if he's thinking like that, then he's a bad person and maybe even a crazy person. So, it's nothing, he tells himself, and ritualizes every move he makes.
If he does it right - twenty-five steps from the door of the Great Hall to his seat, right in front of the window, closest to the wall; room for fifteen people between his and the end of the table either way; his plate arranged into a perfect pentagon, because fives are safe numbers - if he does it right, then the images don't come. He doesn't think about murder or death or rotting flesh or blood or suicide. If he does everything right and sets everything up just the way it's supposed to be, then it really doesn't affect him at all.

This is great!
I tried to comment on the author's LJ, but it wouldn't let me. :(
