#Bellatrix x Alice

[marylily-my-beloved]

Bellatrix Black had many names that people knew her of. Bellatrix, Bella, Voldemorts greatest follower, Cygnus’s best daughter, the strongest Black, but there was one nickname she would never forget. Bells. Narcissa and Alice had always called her Bells, it was her nickname when they were together, before she ruined everything. She cherished that name, when Rodolphus even tried to say it, she hit him. She still loved them, Alice & Narcissa, but now she was with Rudolphus. She couldn’t do anything.

Rair Pair Tag Game

Please excuse my late answer, @danpuff-ao3 and @givereadersahug.

Rules: List the top rarepairs that you like outside of your OTP, and why you ship it! (Criteria for what makes a rarepair is up to your own discretion.).

tagging @bintemuhammad, @renee561, @echoofawind, @sanctuary-angel, @pagliaccispompoms and anyone who wants to, but no pressure to all those I have tagged.

My answer is below the cut. Warning: it's short.

Oh my. That is one hard question to answer considering I write far too few rare pair fics.

Actually... The only real rarepair I ever wrote was this hurt no comfort, f*-it-up Bellice (Bellatrix/Alice) fic... So rare you get salmonella from just seeing it. It's also one of the darkest things I've written.

I am also contemplating writing Harry/Luna. They both have this intuitiveness and hidden intelligence that would make them pair well. They both know how it is to be the Odd One Out, the "freak" even if iirc the Ravenclaws don't explicitly say as such. They both experienced death and loss rather early in their lives, and Luna's perspective might help Harry's healing as Harry's would help Luna understand the trauma of war, having grown up comparatively sheltered.

...

Sorry my list is so short. I shall add to the list once I have more.

u know how narcissa doesn’t have a star-related name like the rest of the blacks

what if her middle name began with an e

so her initials would spell out neb like the nebula

[herlittlel0ve]

I feel like the Blacks are so completely and possessively in love. They go fucking insane when it comes to the love of their life. Family is one thing, they try to kill each other on the regular but don't you ever lay a hand on the person they love. Bellatrix, Narcissa, Andromeda, Regulus, Sirius. You so much as look at they're significant other wrong and they'll have a dagger to your throat in minutes.

[cressthebest]

i kinda thought everyone was exaggerating with the statement that the women/sapphic ships in the marauders fandom are ignored. and like, i just thought it was a lack of content, not lack of liking it. but i have noticed at stark difference between the interaction i get on my jegulus posts vs my sapphic posts. like, it’s almost quadrupled for jegulus

absolutely zero hate towards jegulus, i’m a huge fan of them. that’s 90% of my blog. this is just a post about how i wish the women were talked about more

[sobbingstars]

MARAUDERS SHIPS THAT DONT GET ENOUGH ATTENTION!!!

Dorlene (Dorcas Meadows x Marlene McKinnon) (I love that they’re gaining popularity)

Marily or Marylily (Mary Macdonald x Lily Evans) (I need more fics of them co-parenting with Jegulus PLEASE)

Quillkiller (Rita Skeeter x Bellatrix Lestrange) (so funny to me that the marauders fandom saw the lying reporter lady and the psychotic killer cousin of Sirius black and said “hmmm… they would make a sick wlw couple” and they were right)

Nobleflower (Alice Fortescue x Narcissa Black) (I also think it’s really funny that we took Neville’s mother who was meantally wrecked and paired her with her abusers (???) sister)

hmmmm… funny how they’re all wlw….

[pandoras-boxs-world]

Pandora "fell first" Rosier and Lily "fell harder" Evans.

Alice "fell first" Fortescue and Narcissa "fell harder" Black.

Marlene "fell first." Mckinnon and Dorcas "fell harder, " Meadows.

Rita "fell first" Skeeter and Bellatrix "fell harder" Black.

[padfootsaphrodite]

The house of black may be a bunch of cousin siblings but they're all just so pretty and traumatized I look past all that.

[lupiinist]

alright, so, i'm writing something and wanted to share my black sisters hcs because i like them so much (and also because i need to so i won't forget it)

first of all, bellatrix is a very good sister. she's a bit unhinged, sure, maybe can get a little violent, yes, but it's alright so long as you don't mess with cissa and andy (or regulus and sirius by extent, but she prenteds she doesn't like them)

they have a thing with nicknames. for everyone, they are bella, cissa, and andy. but for each other, they are trix/trixie, cissy/ciss, and an/mendy. the only other people who get to call them that are their loved ones (sirius, reggie, ted, alice and rita)

narcissa likes jewelry, she has rings, earrings, and necklaces to match with every single one of her clothes, and she can even make her own, she likes to chose gemstones and knows most of them by name (her favorite are emeralds and rubies)

bellatrix is a ballerina, she has so much strength in her body, like, she doesn't look like it, she looks scrawny at first, but she's very strong and flexible, ballet is a thing requires a lot of focus and determination, and for everything that she's chaotic, she has her moments of peace with dancing

andromeda tonks is bisexual. fight me on this one.

i feel like andromeda would also be a lot into fashion, like, just generally, she likes clothes and loves to push gender norms with her clothes, she rocks in dresses, and she rocks in suits, and sometimes she mixes both and guess what? she rocks!!!! (no, but seriously, andromeda tonks in a suit. please.)

the three of them like to gossip, like, a lot. they paint each others nails, bellatrix learned at a young age to do her sisters' hairs, so she does them whenever she gets the chance, and they talk about every bit of gossip they hear

narcissa painted her hair black once because she felt left out from her sisters. next thing she nows, once the paint fades, bella and andy have dyed their hair blond. now they all match

once they all have their lives apart, they still like to hang out when they can. cissa brings draco to his favorite aunts (although he likes pandora a lot too), sometimes bella brings rita when she's not working, and ted likes to pick andromeda up from their meet-ups so he can at least say hello to his in-laws

when they were young, their parents used to fight a lot, and it used to get really loud, so the three of them would get together in bella's room, and she would sing them a song until things got quieter. she's a surprisingly good singer (although narcissa is better)

when andromeda marries ted, bella and cissa walk her down the aisle, one on each side

[marylily-my-beloved]

I think i write a lot because I wrote some stuff on my phone. BUT NOOO ITS JUST 245 WORDS I SPENT LIKE AN HOUR ON STFU ovhoiefhvoierhfiheuo

PJO AU FOR THE MARAUDERS

So basically the classic PJO AU...

EXCEPT that James is Percy and Lily is Annabeth because I'm sorry but Jily and Percabeth ???? Same vibes

And Severus could be Luke, that old friend Lily trusted but turned to the dark side.

And, ofc Regulus is Nico, the darkness' child with a crush on that heroic golden boy.

Sirius is Bianca :) and I can see Remus being Grover but I don't rlly know how wolfstar would fit.

Clarisse is Bellatrix because it sounds right.

Charles and Silena... What about Alice and Narcissa?

[mrstellmeafuckingsecret]

we have wlw ships for bellatrix (quilkiller, bellalecto) and narcissa (nobleflower), what about andromeda?

[myfavcharacterdidntdrown]

IM DEMANDING A QUILLKILLER FIC RIGHT NOW!! OR NOBLEFLOWER!! Why are they so underrated? Like Quillkiller is kind of rosekiller but they’re girls and nobleflower is basically Jegulus just as girls. Yk the ships are just so good but there are very few fics about them.

[adh-james-version]

[prongsiess]

I think we don’t pay enough attention to the tragedy of the Black sisters. So, here’s my take on their relationship and how it soured with time. For context, I hc Bella as being born November 1952 (a sagittarius), Andy as being born is February 1954 (an aquarius), and Cissa as being born in March 1956 (a pisces). This puts Bella and Andy roughly 1 1/2 years apart, and Andy and Cissa roughly 2 years apart, with Bella and Cissa being 3 1/2 years apart. So when Cissa was in 1st year, Andy was in 3rd year, and Bella was in 5th year.

Bella and Andy were always too close in age and too different to agree on anything. They were both stubborn, independent free-spirits in an incompatible way. Andy wanted a big sister who didn't make her feel second best for being foolish and childish. Bella always felt resentful for being a little girl meant to fill shoes designed for a male heir, never quite being good enough, and felt suffocated by her family and jealous of Andy, who never had that imposed on her. They were so similar, and it made them polar opposites in all the worst ways, and their temper and opposing political stances were the eventual downfall of their sisterhood. Andy was in 5th year, in love with a muggle-born, living authentically for the first time, refuting her family values and burning bridges to gain freedom from her parents and their twisted customs. Bella was in 7th year, in the midst of a toxic on-again-off-again affair with Rita and being promised off to Rodolphus Lestrange, leaning further into the Black family legacy to fit in and be seen as an adult and become the perfect heir she always wanted to be and get out from under her parent's thumb. They were chasing the same goal, but taking different paths, and it ruined their relationship.

On the flip side, they were both very close with Cissa. In Bella’s case, the 3 1/2 year age gap between her and Cissa made Bella lean more into the nurturing older sister role. Cissa was the antithesis of Andy and Bella. She was soft and agreeable, and Bella always thought she was too delicate for their family and kept a very close tab on her as a kid. When Bella left for Hogwarts, Cissa grew up, but never in her mind. She always stayed that delicate little flower who needed protecting. Bella was almost like a tiny mother to Cissa. Her sister was the one to read her bedtime stories and braid her hair. She was just a little girl when she saw her strong and protective sister become a shell of herself, suffocated by their family, chasing the next high. So, Cissa became small and agreeable. Because if she didn’t dispute her parent’s expectations, she could keep that spark safe and hidden within herself. By the time she got to Hogwarts, Bella was already in 5th year and falling into the wrong crowd, chasing ruthless power, filthy glory, and all the things a Black woman was not to chase but a Black heir must possess. Cissa was the one who saw Bella drunk and stumbling to her room, murmuring something about just wanting to be loved without sacrificing anything in return. As Cissa grew up, she became a formidable woman, all without upsetting her family and the expectations placed upon her, learning how to play the game and thread that fine line where she got to have her cake and eat it too. In 7th year, Lucius courted her, so she did all the right things at the right time. At 18, she was married. By 26, she had a baby boy, a lavish home and a new identity, far removed from her parent’s grasp. But Bella, who still kept a close tab on her baby sister, never missed the tensed shoulders and impassive look of rehearsed indifference that appeared on Cissa’s face when someone mentioned that one Gryffindor prefect who was in her year in school, Alice Fortescue. It was the same look she saw in the mirror every time Rita Skeeter, now a dirty journalist, was brought up. So Bella, broken and sloppily glued back together by her own drunken hands, stayed close to Cissa, just in case her baby sister would someday slip up, and that delicate flower of a child would show up again. On Cissa’s end, she was now an adult and saw the price Bella paid for freedom and her poorly curated facade of strength and prowess. Cissa saw her sister’s power and glory, loveless marriage, lack of an heir, and how her determination to gain freedom drove her into another prison cell. And then, she couldn’t help but feel like the mother, as Bella, always looming around Malfoy Manor, fell into her guest room bed, where she braided her older sister’s hair and listened to her sleepily and drunkenly slur about how she’d make it, someday, somehow, she’d make it out. In those moments, Cissa couldn’t help but feel like she was the mother now. So she kept Bella close in case she needed a pair of arms to fall into after another night out, masquerading as a fearsome man while wearing a sequin gown with blood-red lips.

Andy and Cissa’s relationship was wildly different from their relationship with Bella. Andy had roughly the same age gap with Bella as with Cissa, but without the burden of fulfilling familial duties, they simply enjoyed being girls together. Andy was always a bit loud, boisterous and opinionated. Since she rarely received positive attention from her parents, she acted out, hoping this would make her parents pay attention to her. Andy was always making a mess and prancing around, with Cissa close on her heels, walking cautiously behind. When they were behind closed doors, Andy had no one to perform to, and Cissa had no one to hide from, so they were just two little girls playing pirates and fairies and imagining their life in far-off gardens where they were the rulers of their own life. When Bella went to Hogwarts, they grew even closer. Since Andy had no one to feel constantly compared to, she grew tamer and calmer in front of peering eyes and kept all that energy and rowdiness for the back of the garden and closed doors where she and Cissa went off into far-off lands. When Andy went to Hogwarts, it broke Cissa’s heart to see her sister share that wonder and adventure with others, something meant to be theirs alone. Andy grew popular, brave, strong, and loving and finally got to experience unconditional love and the feeling of not being afraid of her own shadow. She let her free spirit roam, grow, and flourish, and when Cissa finally came to Hogwarts, she wanted Cissa to follow in her footsteps and realize they were free at Hogwarts. But Cissa, who had been home alone for two years with mostly her parents for company, knew Hogwarts was not the haven her sister thought it to be. Every time Andy got detention, talked to a muggle-born or laughed too loudly in the halls, her wrongdoings made their way to their parents' ears. So she pushed away Andy’s hand, asking her to join her adventures and free-spiritedness, and she kept that side of herself hidden, but this time from everyone, including Andy. Andy tried reaching out and relating to her sister and meeting her halfway, but Cissa firmly refused to be associated with her anywhere they could be seen together. She knew her family’s opinion of Andy and feared her parents' wrath if she followed her sister’s path. Because her parents may be able to erase one daughter, but they weren’t as eager to erase 2 of them. So they grew apart. Andy left home, married a muggle-born, and had a beautiful daughter in a quaint, loving home. It broke Cissa’s heart to watch from afar, but at this point, she had already cemented herself in high society, with a wealthy family, good prospects and a lavish home. She couldn’t justify risking her son’s future to reconnect with her sister. It almost killed Andy to leave, but she couldn’t keep trudging alone, so she found herself a place where she could roam and raise her daughter where adventure and wonder didn’t have to stay behind closed doors. She watched Cissa from afar, seeing her portray the image of the picture-perfect Black daughter with straight shoulders and neat hair, and, at some point, she stopped peering at her sister’s life through keyholes. If she couldn’t have Cissa as her sister today, she could keep those memories of their closeness and sisterhood close to her heart, hidden away, where no one can ruin them.
