You love the idea that Voldemort initially tried everything to reject Bellatrix but then he wanted her so much that he couldn't pretend it wasn't there.

His woman in one hand, his side piece on the other, devilish

Bellamort fest week 12: The Note by @toujours-x-bellamort!

Prompt: After years and years of absolute devotion, LV finally says or does something that makes Bella waver, and it puts a dampener on her enthusiasm. She doesn't betray him, she's just distressed for once. The One Thing She Can't Abide Even If He is Her Beloved Master.

So we all know that Tom Riddle was an intellectual and a book worm right? and it’s a well accepted head canon that he’s read all of the books at Wool’s Orphanage?

I know we often talk about the great pieces of literature such as shakespeare and the religious texts such as the bible which he would have read in his time BUT, but, i raise you Tom’s guilty pleasure… trashy beach reads.

Imagine him steering clear of the books all the girls would fawn and giggle over, until he returns from Hogwarts for the summer after his fifth year and the only books that he hasn’t read are the ones he thought were stupid…he decides to read one out of pure boredom and curiosity and he falls. in. LOVE. (as much as he can love anything, anyway)

he’d sneak them in secret so he could keep up his reputation, but in the comfort of his own room he would DEVOUR every single word on every single page.

he’d love to point out the protagonists stupid actions most of all:

“no, martha, don’t go back to him, he cHeaTeD oN YoU!!!”

“susan, go collect your man, he is being dumb, and you two are clearly in love”

“oh sweet Salazar have mercy, Luca that was an idiotic thing to do. if i was in this novel, i would have killed you by now. not even with a wand, but in the muggle way. i would have strangled you.

and something he wouldn’t even admit to himself, he adored when characters got their happy endings. he might not fall in love, but he wants the characters to experience it.

he would say something like “oh that so cliche ugh 😑” but in the privacy of his mind he would be like “i want that🥹”

The Dark Lord’s favourite.

Crack Headcanon: The reason Voldemort kidnapped Florean Fortescue during Half-Blood Prince was because Bella was having pregnancy cravings for a very specific ice cream flavor only he made.

THE HOLY UNION

Honestly more than half of them would just make Voldy worse (or at least accepted him the way he is), but anyway 😊

Tom Blyth is my fancast for Abraxas Malfoy (so don't ask why Coryo here) 🫶🫶

I put Sirius here all because of one of the most brilliant fantastic magnificent gorgeous amazing flabbergasted HP fanfictions I've ever read "It runs in the blood" by Metalomagnetic (she made me fall into this rabbit hole) 🥹🥹🥹

God I ship Voldemort with too much ppl, I'd die in the cruelest way if he'd ever known I'm whoring him around like this 😭😭. Not my fault that his fanfictions are all so good that it feels like a crime

[incorrectbellamort]

Bellatrix: My husband said I shouldn't come here anymore.

Voldemort: And yet here you are...on my lap.

Bellatrix: I'm such a bad wife.

Voldemort, smirking: No. You're a good Death Eater.

[capriddle]

I like to imagine Bellatrix even after years still dreaming of having sex with her Master. She often wakes up in the middle of the night and he is sleeping next to her.

[augustuscaesarsalad]

I can ship Tom with anyone bc he’s a slut but here’s my favorites:

Tom/Harry: obviously

Tom/Albus Dumbledore: They match each others freak and I want to see more of it. Albus has a thing for dark wizards and Tom could benefit from a relationship with a significantly older man. Also previous teacher/student dynamic.

Tom/Albus/Grindlewald: Evil Twink deserves two older men to care for him. Weirdly whenever I think about this one it’s more of a fluff dynamic. Like Albus is like “Gellert you don’t get it this boy is so evil. Worse than you probably.” And Grindelwald is like “awwww he’s so cute!! Look at him :)” and Tom is just desperately trying to be cared for by someone for once in his life.

Tom/Charlie Weasley: They care about reptiles more than any human being and also have historically been disinterested in romance. Buff working man/evil nerd dynamic. Also drama bc of what Tom did to Ginny

Tom/Knights of Walpurgis: Worlds evilest polycule. He’s the bottom but he’s in charge and also tortures them if they don’t satisfy him. He has so many sugar daddies it’s actually crazy. Each of the Knights think they’re the best.

Voldemort/Bellatrix: BUT only if it’s the omegaverse and Bellatrix is the Alpha. (Tom is an omega obviously. Mpreg he’s the one who gives birth to Delphini.) Also funny if all the Death Eaters (and frankly everyone in the world) think they have the opposite dynamics but then it gets revealed in some way that VOLDEMORT is actually the Omega much to the shock and horror of everyone.

...and he wondered, with a feeling of great trepidation, what had happened to make Lord Voldemort the happiest he had been in fourteen years.

The text's structure here is very deliberate:

First we get Harry's question about what made Voldemort the happiest in fouteen years, and then immediately: 'Harry's question was answered...'

And what follows? Not the headline about the mass breakout, but specifically attention drawn to the photographs, and of those, specifically to the witch's photo. It's Bellatrix who 'leapt out at Harry', and only after this does Hermione redirects Harry to the actual headline.

The narrative structure creates a direct line from Voldemort's unprecedented happines to Bellatrix specifically before even revealing the larger context of the breakout

The text seems to be deliberately guiding readers to connect Voldemort's extreme emotional response primarily to Bellatrix's escape, even though nine other Death Eaters also escaped. This connection is established before we even learn about the mass breakout.

Also, consider what else has happened recently that didn't generate this level of joy. Regaining his body and getting back the other Death Eaters, who were greater in number than those who went to Azkaban as well as more useful.

Also, it was precisely fourteen years ago that Voldemort and Bellatrix were separated.

How stupid do people have to be to deny Bellamort?

[keepmycandleburning]

There's such a difference between the way Bellatrix talks to Voldemort vs the way the other Death Eaters talk to him.

She starts every single one of the conversations they have. They have five total direct interactions: in the Ministry, at the meeting at Malfoy Manor, in the Forbidden Forest before Harry appears, in the Forbidden Forest after Voldemort falls over, and after they come out of the Forest and Neville throws himself at Voldemort. In three of these five (Ministry, first and second time she tries to interact with him in the Forbidden Forest), Voldemort tells her to stop talking to him. At the meeting he mocks and manipulates her, and at the Battle of Hogwarts he responds with four words. These are not particularly unusual reactions for Voldemort; he tells multiple people to stop talking to him including Wormtail in GoF Ch 1, Nott in GoF Ch 33, and Yaxley in DH 1.

Also notably, Bellatrix uses one of his titles every single time she addresses him. Other Death Eaters who have a similar amount of lines like Lucius, Wormtail, and Snape skip the title on occasion. Bellatrix never drops this respect. (DEs who only have one interaction/conversation with him tend to do it every time.)

With all the other Death Eaters besides Bellatrix, the way Voldemort speaks to them makes sense with the additional information we know about that person and the relationship they have. With Bellatrix, there is a huge misalignment with the way we see them directly interact and the additional information we have about them. Voldemort tells Bellatrix to stop talking over half the time she talks to him publicly, yet he has given her a piece of his soul. He tells her 'be quiet' and then immediately follows it up with a nickname we only see her family call her. She fails him and he immediately saves her anyway—which I have always read as him physically reappearing after possessing Harry and therefore being seen by multiple Ministry officials in order to do so.

Bellatrix speaks critically of Voldemort and his judgement to her sister; when there's something else they're not supposed to say (talking about the plan with Draco) it gets acknowledged by the characters multiple times that they're misbehaving, yet Narcissa doesn't question Bellatrix making this very bold and actually rather blasphemous statement. Snape brings up Voldemort multiple times to mock Bellatrix, and she cuts herself off mid-sentence multiple times ('his most precious—' and 'he...lately we...') from speaking about it. She says he shares 'everything' with her and yet will not say what that is (his most precious what?). Bellatrix confidently speaks for the absent Voldemort at Malfoy Manor, telling Greyback she's 'sure' the Dark Lord will be alright with him taking Hermione. She is more willing to speak for him than she is to speak of what relationship they have privately.

When the cup is stolen and he loses his temper and is killing everyone in the room, he notes where she is and that she's leaving. She places herself in his close physical proximity—almost immediately after the cup was stolen from her vault—in public and he allows it. She talks to him with so much affection that even Harry can note it with his eyes closed, and he declines it and immediately moves on. Her comfort level to physically touch him is so high that she continues trying to do so after he tells her to stop. Her death is the third time he experiences a major loss in a matter of hours (cup, Nagini) and the third time he screams, but the one and only time he loses control of his magic (if he was consciously capable of sending all three of those people flying through the air, he would have done it already).

Compare Bellatrix continuing to try to physically touch Voldemort after he directly tells her to stop to Rookwood cowering on the floor and staying in a partial bow when Voldemort tells him to stand up, or Bellatrix initiating every single conversation she has with Voldemort to Draco being so afraid to speak a word to him that he does not talk at all and just shakes his head or does nothing. Rookwood is clearly terrified that Voldemort is going to physically hurt him for simply providing him information that will upset him, while Bellatrix is so sure Voldemort will not hurt her—again immediately after the cup is stolen—that she sits next to him, talks to him multiple times, and touches him. Bellatrix leans toward him, for mere words can't demonstrate her longing for closeness, and the Malfoys won't even make eye contact.

There's a major disconnect with what they're directly saying and the whole picture. These are two people who very clearly have on off-screen relationship that is substantially different from their on-screen relationship. One that Bellatrix believes she needs to keep private even from other Death Eaters. One that has caused her to believe she has the authority to speak in his place when he's not there. One that has led Bellatrix to believe it is alright for her to initiate conversations with him, to be physically close to him, to touch him. One that has given her some reason to believe she should—even, perhaps, that he wants or needs her to—continue to try to touch him after he declines it.

On-screen he places her halfway down the table, off-screen he gives her his soul to keep safe. Off-screen he's telling her she's his most loyal, his most faithful, he's sharing everything with her, while on-screen he tells her 'that will do.'

The word 'lover,' while it's used in the series a handful of times in the context of 'Mudblood-lover' or 'cat lover,' is used in the context of an object of one's affection once and only once.

IT'S DELPHI! 😁

My small contribution to Bellamortfest. An almost traumatic reveal for Voldy.
