‘Losing Time.’

Her eyes had long ago reflected not light, but darkness. A darkness that was becoming more and more tangible within her, filling every cell, every nerve, every thought. Nagini knew there was less and less time left. Maledictus. The word was like a judgement hanging over her head since birth. The curse of maledictus that flowed through her veins was slowly but inexorably turning her into a beast that was harder to control. With each passing day, she could feel her body growing weaker, her humanity slipping away… Nagini was scared, but despair had become a familiar companion. She couldn't afford to waste time. Every day was important. Every hour was another step towards irreversibility. But where would that salvation be found? Who could free her from this curse when it gripped her more and more each day? At times it seemed that her struggle was pointless, that time was already lost. She knew that to her, Tom Riddle was the only one who had the power to resist such curses. Their paths had crossed long ago… thirty years ago. And since then, she hadn't been able to tear herself away from his dark aura, his magic, his power. But that aura ‘fuelled’ her as well. Perhaps because of that connection to Tom, the finality of her curse hadn't come close for so long. And it instilled in Nagini a constant sense of unease. She just didn't know for sure when it would happen. But Nagini never dared to tell him of her fear. How would he take her weakness? Would a man who longed for immortality and eternal power be able to understand someone who was desperately afraid of losing his humanity, his clear consciousness? But every time she looked into his cold eyes, she saw that salvation was near, if he was willing to help. Tom was her last hope, but was it worth it? Or was his interest in Nagini as cold and calculating as his ambition? Nagini knelt before the small, makeshift stone altar in the dark room in Tom's mansion they shared. In her hand she clutched an ancient amulet, a powerful dark artifact that, it was rumoured, could help stop the transformation. She had learnt the words, spoken more than once by her ancestors and left on ancient parchments, but now they seemed empty to her. Everything she'd tried before was just a vain attempt to cheat time. The whisper of her prayer fell silent as Tom entered the room. His presence was frightening and soothing at the same time. He silently approached the desperate witch.

- Are you praying again? - He asked with a slight sneer, stopping behind her.

She raised her head, but did not get up. Shame mixed with despair burned inside her.

- Time is running out, - she said quietly, not turning round. - I'll soon cease to be human, Tom.

He was silent. She knew he wouldn't say words of comfort. It wasn't his style. But she waited for at least a response, at least a cold admission that he understood her pain.

- You knew this would happen, - his voice was calm, as if he were talking about some insignificant fact. - You can't stop a curse with prayers and ancient amulets. You are wasting time, Nagini. But perhaps the time lost is not as important as you think. She turned sharply towards him, her eyes glittering with anger and despair.

- How can you say that? - She hissed. - I'm losing myself. I'm losing my soul, my body. Everything I had… I can't stay passive any longer. I must fight before it's too late! Tom stepped closer. His eyes took in her face with cold curiosity.

- Fighting for what, Nagini? For your body? You think I don't know what it's like to lose a part of myself? But you know the future is not in your human form. You're going to be something more. She felt a chill creep into her soul. His words were disappointing, cutting to the core - but there was truth in them. Tom never gave false hope, never fed illusions.

- You don't understand… - she whispered, lowering her head. - I don't want to become a beast. I don't want to waste time, to lose my humanity.

Tom chuckled softly and leaned toward her, his voice softer:

- Time means nothing, Nagini. People come and go. Time devours them. But you and I… We'll find a way to rise above it. I will find eternity for us.

She closed her eyes, letting those words sink into her mind. Eternity. He spoke of it as if eternal life was their shared destiny. But to her, it wasn't eternity in the body of a man, but in the body of a reptile. Would she be able to accept it…?

[tippilo]

It was fanfic friday yesterday and per usual, I didn’t post on tumblr!

Something a little different this week: Succumbing by thebreathbefore (Brooke.ends on IG) with gorgeous portraits by @karinagiada

This is a haunting fic depicting Tom’s mounting obsession with Nagini. I didn’t realize how much story she had (I’ve never seen the fantastic beasts movies) but I love her character here! The way it’s written is so vivid and captivating!

This is a rare pair. Maybe not a ship you have read before, but it is worth veering off your chosen path to check this one out!

This fish belongs to a genus commonly called bristletooth tangs, which get their name from their numerous small flexible teeth! The tomini surgeonfish, also called yellowtip or orangetip bristletooth, sports a caudal fin that is forked in juveniles but becomes crescent-shaped in adulthood.

How do you capture the attention of Tom Riddle, who loves everything “snakey”? You need to have the right charm, a piercing “snake” look and the ability to speak Parseltongue.

[miodarkness]

She speaks Parseltonque, she can turn into a snake... Nagini is the perfect choice for Tom Riddle, and no one surpasses her in these qualities that bring her so close to the young Dark Lord's love of symbolism.

Did you see Camilla Tominy's new piece about OS? Great background for people who may not be aware of his past. I am disappointed she didn't go back to the Heat days and his twitter picture with MM in Cannes.

Or his friendship with Markus.

If Ron's name was anywhere near the new kid, it would be the end of them and of their peace of mind. He would have been even more invested in the kid's life.

A legacy he thought he was never going to have!!!! Bc yeah, Bradley is his kid, but they don't share a surname, so the Kazansky pretty much finished with him. But now there's a kid who shares his name, and it's even more important than sharing a surname.

I love the concept of Bradley adopting a baby and giving them Thomas as second name.

"We don't share a surname, but I'm Bradley Pete, so it was only right to give them your name, too." To a Tom who's holding the newborn and looking like a second from crying.

(...) il seirasso è quella cosa

che assomiglia un po' ai tomini,

c'è chi ci fa senso, chi ne va passo

e chi lo mangia coi crostini (...)
