FOREWORD

This story I've been trying to do for a while, but despite what I put into Separated at Birth, there was a point where I very nearly didn't do this fic as a published one. After some revision, I've finally decided to do Hadrian Kotomine.

Harry, in this story, was partially inspired by Satire Swift's Sekirei crossover A Soul of Fire (inspired by gabriel blessing's In Flight, of course) and its prequel Birth by Fire, where Shirou is adopted by Kirei Kotomine as opposed to Kiritsugu Emiya. While Hadrian Kotomine is nowhere as deranged as Shirou Kotomine is, this is definitely a darker Harry, given who raised him. And yes, I asked Satire Swift for permission to apply their concept to Harry.

Anyway, time for the usual disclaimers. Firstly, there will be spoilers for both Harry Potter and Fate/Stay Night.

Secondly, there will be heavy annotations, as is usual for my works. You have been warned.

Thirdly, this is an M-Rated work. There will be coarse language, violence, and sexual references. Again, you have been warned.

Finally, the following is a fan-written work. Harry Potter and Fate/Stay Night are the properties of their respective owners. Please support the official release. Otherwise, Dark Sakura will come for you…
