Why You Should Check It Out:

On its surface, kethlenda’s Incarnation appears to be a conventional Minerva/Tom fic, complete with love-child, but the child serves a thematic purpose in this haunting story. What’s most striking is the imagery the author uses to convey the notion that Tom-Voldemort is as bound as Minerva by the physical world he resists. In his quest for immortality, he overlooks the one tie to the eternal that doesn’t depend on Dark Magic.
