I finally got around to reading this, and like some others, I'm freaked out-because dude, scarily plausible.
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd actively be hoping for Rowling's inconsistent characterisations, because as much as this scenario would appeal to me in a Darkfic (tempered, hopefully, with loads of angsty!sex) I'd really, really prefer it if the books didn't go that way.
The description of the pale face with shining eyes in particular strikes a chord, because it always reminded me of the insane kind of fanaticism...in the lines of Bellatrix's or Crouch Junior's beliefs, rather than Lucius (imho) more self-serving interests in joining the DE.
And the poor boy's definetely afraid of the Dark Arts.
