AUUGHHHH, THIS IS PERFECT!! I don't know how to cope with this! AAUUUHHH!! From the second you capitalized "Him," I had this creeping chill crawl down my back and I felt scared, like something was seriously wrong.
Oh goodness, the image of a perpetually ranting, raving, half-mad Bob. I mean, Harry could technically order Bob to stop acting that way given the nature of Bob's curse, but it's just not in Harry's nature to do that sort of thing, so it's sort of like watching a car hurtle down a hill without brakes. Eventually, it's gonna hit something! It's just a question of when, and how bad the damage's gonna be.
Furthermore, I love the throwbacks to canon history in the show, and Harry's thoughts about it. I remember how crushed and sad for Bob Harry looked when he found out what had happened to Winifred, and that sympathy still seems to linger in Harry, even in this situation. Harry's just a good soul. He can't help that about himself.
And the the last line is so cool because it can be interpreted to mean that either something bad's going to happen, or maybe, just maybe, Harry still can turn the tide. Despite the darkness of the fic, it somehow doesn't look hopeless, just more difficult to fix than what was in canon. But I somehow get the feeling Harry really is going to try, and that Bob, eventually, will come around.
If you ever write more of this, I will eat it up like a four-course meal, ha! Love this. Thank you for writing it. :D
