I found this a gripping tale despite all the warnings. Not gratuitous...but NSFW

I looked for it and couldn't find it, but I apologise if this is a rerec.
Unspeakable Things (Harry Potter) by Darth Marrs
Gilderoy is More than he seems - and so is everyone else...
Was 'Defence for Two' originally adopted from "Detention in Defense", a one-shot by Perspicacity.
I've enjoyed Darth's writing previously (Bonds of Blood), as it feels very solid. However, his stories tend towards the Grim/Dark/Realistic end of the scale so they may not be for everyone.
Especially in this instance, as Perspicacity's original one-shot was light hearted - but 'Unspeakable' is definitely not. Slow build up, good world building and all buffs to characters (including Ron's 'Ok, Enough Stupid') make sense (at least to me) within the story - the violence isn't gratuitous. Harry gets his arse handed to him a lot so, its not God!Harry.
Heavy Mature/NSFW warnings. Violence - probably sex eventually, although not yet (chapter 33). Not for kids. Use spoiler if you want details.
