Thank you for the rec! The Blackcest server is no longer active, but you can find Blackcest in the servers mentioned above and Regulus/Sirius in the James/Sirius/Regulus/Remus server. 

And yes - join us for Blackcest Fest this winter! 

I also have a Blackcest rec list for fics written before 2012. 

Hey! I am the person completely spamming you with kudos as I’ve just discovered your Sirius/narcissa fic! Which I love. You are an incredible writer.

I’d love to get deeper into the Blackcest space and starting writing my own works for this ship — do you have recs of other folks to follow?

Hi! First, thank you so much! Seeing your comments on my fic and the daily kudos email is SO much fun and I'm really glad you like them!

For more siricissa content, I have a rec list of my personal 15 favouite fics right here, with the people who wrote them linked to AO3 or tagged on tumblr if I knew/could find the account. I will say, some of the fics are a bit older, so I can't make any promises on whether or not most of them still actively enjoy the ship. The list of fics I've written myself for them is here.

On tumblr, I use both the #siricissa and the #sirius x narcissa tags, but they're not really active because obviously it's quite a niche ship (that I'm doing my very best to grow). There's also the #blackcest tag for all types of blackcest ships.

You've already made your way to the Sirius Black Discord me and @jennandblitz opened, where there's a siricissa channel that I absolutely love, but just in case anyone else is reading this I wanna mention it. For other blackcest ships we have a channel for sirius/regulus, too, but I gotta say I'm really not an expert bc the only blackcest I really engage with is siricissa itself lmao. I remember there being a general blackcest discord server a while back, but I can't find a link and I genuinely don't know if it's still active.

For femslash blackcest, I do highly recommend @hpsaffics discord server bc there are some dead dove channels and a bunch of enthusiasts for different combinations of Black sisters and older Black family members that I am no expert on. And aside from that it's a great server lmao.

[rodolpuslestrange-blog]

do u ship cissatrix or andrometrix

Both. It’d keep her busy and off my back, for one thing. 

[thistlecatfics]

Fortnight has Belladromeda/Andromebella vibes.

I love you, it's ruining my life???

I was supposed to be sent away But they forgot to come and get me I was a functioning alcoholic 'Til nobody noticed my new aesthetic All of this to say I hope you're okay But you're the reason And no one here's to blame But what about your quiet treason?

Like can you imagine this as a duet where they sing the lines at each other??

Bellatrix: I was supposed to be sent away But they forgot to come and get me

(her parents saw her as too rebellious and not like a proper pureblood girl and were going to send her away but then everyone got distracted with other family stuff)

Andromeda: I was a functioning alcoholic 'Til nobody noticed my new aesthetic

All of this to say I hope you're okay But you're the reason

(the obvious: andromeda is an alcoholic and also she blames bellatrix joining the death eaters for one of the reasons she had to run away)

Bellatrix: And no one here's to blame But what about your quiet treason?

(I mean Andromeda leaving isn't "quiet" but Bella certainly thinks it's treason!)

Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her

but ok literally bellatrix wants to kill ted(dy)

All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February I took the miracle move-on drug [joining a terrorist cult], the effects were temporary

Bellatrix Black: An Elegy (5k, E, Bellatrix/Andromeda, /Cygnus, /Rita Skeeter)

“Bellatrix Black Lestrange was survived by her husband, sister, nephew, and me, whatever I could be considered, if I could even be considered someone who survived her.”

Tags include: Non-con, Childhood Sexual Abuse, Incest, Grief/Mourning, Canon Compliant, Mixed POV, First person and third person limited, Pureblood Society, Patriarchy, Bellatrix Black Lestrange-centric, POV Andromeda Black Tonks

Thank you endlessly to sleepstxtic and to leftsidedown for the incredibly helpful betas.

This Bellatrix character study fic was a labor of love and pain across a number of years. I started it years ago to process my own experiences and to explore the psychology of people who engage in violence, and I had to put it away because it was becoming too painful.

Writing-wise, I went weird and experimental. Both in terms of subject matter and in terms of writing style, I feel like this is the type of writing that can only exist as a fic and can only exist because of fandom.

Reading Blackcest fic helped me cope with what I was experiencing within my family system when I was a kid, and writing helps me process as an adult.

You're not a monster, and you're not alone.

Nymphadora, Nymphet (Bellatrix/Tonks, 20k, M) for @womenofthehouseofblack

Warnings: Noncon, underage, teacher/student, grooming, incest, past Bellatrix/Andromeda, alcohol abuse, abusive relationship (full list on Ao3)

Dear Nymphadora, I’ve been informed of a temporary Defence professor this year, and you may have gathered she is (was) my sister. Be careful. If she attempts to harm you in any way, report straight to Professor Sprout. We shall talk more at Christmas; it may be time for you to learn more about my side of the family. Please watch your potions work – I know you can do better than last year. -Mum

AN: @vdoshu you have given me so many wonderful gifts. I’m so very glad to return the favor and so very glad you exist. Thank you for allowing me to mold your delicious Bellatrix/Andromeda Sappho prompt to fit this student/teacher Bella/Tonks idea that has been haunting me ever since I read “My Dark Vanessa.”

Thank you so, so much to @broomsticks for your beta and cheerleading when I was lost in the muggy swamp of this fic and for helping lead me to the bracingly dark conclusion. 

[thistlecatfics]

I have read your bella/Andromeda fics in the last few days and why would you do this to me. I don't need another twisted (hot) and dark ship to pull me under

<3 <3 <3 <3

another person pulled into this twisted, hot, dark ship <3

They look so much alike that Harry gets Andromeda confused for Bellatrix! They're sisters who make opposite choices! They're tragedy! They're two sides of the same coin! Obsession and madness and devotion and oaths and betrayal!

[thistlecatfics]

Have you read Bone Mother by Rinsbane? I don’t know if it’s on AO3 but I read it back in the LJ days and I think it might be something you would like.

Oooh that looks fascinating! First posted on LJ in 2006, now on Ao3. 32k, Bellatrix/Andromeda & Andromeda/Ted.

Blackcest Fest Anonymous Masterlist 

(organized by main Blackcest ship in each fic)

Sirius/Regulus

Fault Line (9k, E)

Bloodline. Front line. Bottom line. Sirius’s life is made up of lines. Fault line: The crack running through his family. The fracture in his conscience. Sirius may have crossed a few lines before he ran away, back when he was a Black. But he can’t ever take back those actions, and would much rather forget them entirely. Regulus will never let him forget.

In the Bleak December (6k, M/E)

Sirius is adamant about not agreeing to any of those stupid marriage arrangements his parents come up with. He's not interested in getting married straight out of Hogwarts, and he absolutely won't marry any of his cousins. That is, until Orion and Walburga turned their eyes on Regulus's lack of an arrangement instead.

A Not So Subtle Attraction (3k, M)

Regulus has been staring at Sirius's friends for weeks, and he wants to know why.

Black Skies (7k, E)

Sirius won't give Regulus the love he needs, so he seeks it from Severus instead.

Unresting Death (2k, E)

When Regulus chooses everyone but Sirius, Sirius can only think of one solution.

wore out your welcome (with random precision) (2k, E)

During the first war, Sirius is captured by Death Eaters and given to Regulus.

Sirius/Draco

Second Chance (3k, E)

There’s a laundry list of reasons Sirius shouldn’t carry on this affair with his cousin Draco. But when everything Draco is transports Sirius decades to the past, he ignores every single one.

Underneath the stars (I really get a dirty mind) (8k, E)

When Draco was told his mother had found him someone to marry, after three failed engagements, this is not what he expected. 

Sirius/Alphard

Alphard’s Favourite (5k, M)

Peter tries to find out why Sirius is so upset over Alphard’s inheritance. Then he tries to make sure Sirius doesn’t fall off the roof. Then he tries to ensure Remus doesn’t hear them. 

Orion/Regulus & Orion/Regulus/Sirius

love goes on happening to you (3k, E)

Daddy loved his little boys. He also loved when they loved each other. (Orion/Sirius/Regulus)

my sweet boy (i close my eyes) (2.8k, M)

Regulus grew up on his father's lap, surrounded by love. A love that was filthy and wrong. A taboo. Orion Black knows that. But his sweet boy is too young to know any better, and he would be damned if he did not exploit the situation to his advantage.(Or, Regulus is good at staying quiet and warming his father's cock. Orion loves him for it.)

Soundless (3k, E)

Father detested loudness, Regulus knew. Back when Sirius and he used to play games and be real brothers, going near his father’s study was forbidden territory for their noise. Now, he watched the subtle frowns behind the newspaper and how Father didn't take long to leave the table at the smallest signal Mother or Sirius would once again disturb the barely-existing peace of meals. He knew Father preferred him to be really quiet after the soft knock at his door, long after everyone retired to their rooms.

Sirius/Bellatrix

Red and Gold (10k, E)

Bellatrix didn’t consider herself a cradle robber. Sirius was nine years her junior, and still a whining little shit when things didn’t go his way. But when he shut that fat, stupid mouth of his, when he turned those glittering eyes in her direction, she had to give pause.

A life, a breath, a dance (6k, E)

Sirius defects from the Order to join Voldemort as a faithful Death Eater. As reward for his services, he asks Voldemort for only one thing: Bellatrix Black.

Sirius/Narcissa

They Leave Us (5k, E)

Sirius sees the stranger, the intruder among them. But he doesn’t recognise her until later. Months later, when he goes on a self-appointed undercover mission, he’s immediately found out. And that’s fine, because he’s angry, and Narcissa gives him something to do with that anger.

Regulus/Narcissa

Dancing circles 'round your heart (10k, E)

Five + One Yule and birthday celebrations where Regulus and Narcissa meet in their special linen closet. Set throughout Regulus's time in Hogwarts, between December 1974 and December 1979.

Walburga/Orion 

maybe my name could also be known (2k, M)

Everyone thought that Walburga was coerced into marrying her second cousin. She preferred people to think that.

Bellatrix/Andromeda

Clip, Ravel, Cleave (15k, E)

Before Andromeda met Ted, she was a Black, through and through. While years later the story was told that she’d turned her back on her family’s dark ways, in truth, nothing was so simple. In the beginning, it was just Andromeda and Bella. And it was just the two of them until it was too much.

Bellatrix/Tonks

she murders with a kiss (6k, E)

The only thing that scares Tonks more than her attraction to Bellatrix is that Bellatrix seems to be attracted to her in return — and aware of both.
