#bellatrix/alecto

[enbysiriusblack]

*Looks at you with Big Wet Eyes* Bellalecto HCS?

they're both older sisters and understand family responsibilities as being one of the most important things in life

their kink is murdering/torturing people together

fem goth lesbian bellatrix and butch goth lesbian alecto <3

bellatrix who wants power and status and alecto who doesn't care about that so is comfortable staying lower in the death eater ranks but is very supportive of her power hungry girlfriend

messy bitches who live for drama

they get together during the war when they're both death eaters, not during school

bellatrix being obsessed with voldemort because of her daddy issues whilst alecto doesn't really care about voldemort and more just agrees with the death eater's anti-muggle rhetoric and they argue about that often

both extremely obsessed with the cruciatus curse

alecto is a lot more traditional than bellatrix, caring more about pureblood customs and expectations they're meant to follow

i do hc that bellatrix was a lot more mentally well and put together before azkaban so i think after bellatrix escaprs and alecto sees her after all those years she barely recognises her anymore and bellatrix thinks of nothing but violence and voldemort now, when she used to care about so many other things

they both need therapy so bad

there's a thing in the summer evening, when the sun goes down and the moon is high and full in the sky, cooling everything off just slightly, where the surrounding neighborhood kids come out and play baseball in a makeshift baseball field and everyone gets really into it. like, really into it. they have to bring their own battery operated lights for the field, they have bets running on the different teams playing (a few dollars, baseball cards, packs of gum, coins, stickers, yo-yo's, single cigarettes (how'd those get in there?) sunglasses, watches, candy, you name it).

and no adults allowed. not that they encroach on the fun, but the first game starts at one in the morning so who's got the time?

and since sirius left to live with james, regulus is shut up in the house and has to hear about the great baseball extravaganza from barty in a "your brother is on the james potter all-star team i've got $50 in the pool, we have to go to the tournament" kinda way. and regulus is like "my mother would actually kill me and explicitly forbids it but i'll think about it."

but barty shows up just after midnight on game day and starts throwing rocks at regulus' window to get him to come out except he runs out of small rocks and moves to bigger ones and gets impatient and throws the big rocks harder and then oops, one went right through a window, except this house isn't regulus' house. regulus' house is two doors down, it's just hard to see in the dark. so barty moves two doors down and finds some smaller rocks and starts over again until regulus comes out. scowling, but he's out.

and they start the long walk to the makeshift baseball field and it's hot and the air is sticky and sweet with honeysuckles. and barty and regulus talk. and barty buys regulus boiled peanuts and crackerjack from a kid's makeshift concession stand and they sit in the makeshift bleachers side by side with their knees knocking together. and barty manages to make sly remarks that make regulus laugh. and regulus makes last minute bets and watches the game, and starts getting into it, and barty smiles at the way he's on the edge of his seat, brows furrowed in concentration. barty thinks he even sees regulus clap once, and it's fun watching regulus, more fun than watching the game, even.

so fun that barty says he'll get regulus the next night to watch the next two teams play. regulus agrees, and they make this a routine and barty thinks, finally.

but then it's james' team that's up next and james walks up to the plate and does a trick with his baseball bat with a grin so-wide and a wink, and regulus' eyes are as wide a saucers for a brief second before he catches himself but it doesn't matter. barty's seen it, and knows instantly he's made a mistake. he's signed himself up for a summer of looking at regulus look at james. and he's doomed.

marauders era age hcs

because i feel like the entire cast couldn't've been all the same age. c'mon guys. (yes, i do know that some of these have canon different ages. i don't care tho)

gryffindors:

frank longbottom and alice fortescue are about 3 years older than the marauders/valkyries (james, sirius, remus, peter/lily, marlene, and mary) and act as sort of mentors to james and mary.

kingsley (can we please change his last name) is also the same year as frank and alice.

emmeline vance is about a year younger than the marauders/valkyries. she has a combination of admiration and jealousy for being older and cooler.

slytherins:

the pantheon (dorcas, evan, regulus, barty, pandora) are a year younger than the marauders/valkyries.

davey gudgeon is a the marauder's age, but due to low slytherin birthrates and uneven dorm numbers, was lumped in with evan and regulus as dorm-mates. they ignore each other.

the ophidians: alecto carrow, zoya zabini, and aurora sinatra are the same age as frank and alice. look up to bella a LOT.

bellatrix is in her 6th year when the marauders arrive, and in her 7th when the pantheon arrive.

narcissa and lucius are 3 years older than the marauders (same age as frank and alice)

pleasepleaseplease let this be canon.......... ravenclaw/hufflepuff ver coming soon maybe if i feel like it

Here's the thing. The main reason voldemort's circle is mostly male is not entirely because they're purposefully keeping it that way. Lyk I'm not saying they were feminists lol, but we barely get any evidence of the DEs being sexist. The only piece of evidence we get towards this is the old inheritance rule in the pureblood families that the property passes down to the male heir and his children, and only passes on to the female if there's no inheritor, but lyk i said, that's not the main reason for the DEs being exclusively male. Interestingly enough, we hear more misogynistic stuff from Rita Skeeter and Molly Weasley than any of the DEs, and from ron than draco (don't get me wrong, i actually like how rowling didn't shy away from representing ppl's views in a way that's, tho not acceptable ofc, appropriate to their age and time period, but it's interesting nonetheless)

The main reason the DEs are mostly male is because of Rowling's idea of what is and isn't acceptable behavior for a woman. She seems to have this belief that women are inherently 'purer' and more morally superior compared to men; even when they do morally questionable or downright criminal stuff, it's either not viewed as such or is justifiable according to her (like with hermione scarring marietta's face and merope essentially drugging and raping tom riddle sr). Yes, there are female villains, but they are very limited in number and don't have the nuance and complexity given to the male ones. Hell, most of the time they don't even have a proper backstory. The only complex female character who is not amongst the good guys is petunia. Umbridge imo is very interesting, and ik the fandom loves bellatrix, but personally I'm not that taken by her canon version, tho i love how she's written in the fandom as ppl make her way more fleshed out than she actually is. Alecto Carrow is mentioned a couple of times ig. Narcissa's beliefs and association with a terrorist organization are forgiven because she apparently redeemed herself through mother love (funny how harry's long list of father figures can remain interesting, flawed human beings with a well rounded personality and story, and still die for him. Almost as if they're allowed to exist without gender specific obligations).

So in Rowling's view, the women in question are not just villains because of their actions and beliefs (you'd think that would be enough), but also because of the added factor of not fitting into her idea of conventional womanhood, which is the actual reason why the ratio of female villains to the male ones is soo disproportionately low; it has little to do with Voldemort and his DEs or their ideology.

We are excited to announce Deatheater focused fanworks exchange. In this case fic between 500-3,000 words, art, podfics, and meta are all welcome.

We are looking at using transformative works to consider the impact of being a Deatheater, this might include putting canonical Deatheaters into muggle AUs, for example Barty and Bella as political speechwriters trying to get Voldemort elected, or considering what happens if a non-Deatheater character pledges themselves to Voldemort, for example how does Jily look if Lily is a half-blood who ends up sorted in Slytherin alongside Snape and joins the Deatheaters?

Want to explore the morally ambiguous aspects of Harry Potter Characters, then this is the exchange for you.

You can choose characters and ships from across all the eras of Harry Potter canon.

Sign up will be via the ao3 collection, where you can also read the full rules

Want to discuss what you might prompt or ask any questions, then join our discord server (it’s 18+ and definitely not always safe for work)

Alecto Carrow Headcanons

13 minuets younger then Amycus

Was in Narcissas year at Hogwarts and shared a dorm with her and Zabini

Alecto, Narcissa & Zabini were best friends and low-key in love

She hated children and would constantly pick on the younger years

LESBIANNNNNNN

The only guy she's ever kissed was her brother

Her and Amycus shared a room at home despite the fact that they had multiple spare

She's Filipino (my fancast for her is Paris Berelc)

She and Bellatrix hated each other

Had an obsession with serial killers and cold cases

A bottom but would never admit it

She never had any friends outside of Amycus, Narcissa and Zabini and she liked it that way

Her, Narcissa and Zabinis friendship (love) did not last. They had a nice year together until Zabini left to get married to her first husband (which was always the plan and there was no hard feelings from her side) Narcissa and Alecto were never the same without her

[coyotelip]

okay ry!!!

tell US please about your top3 (or just 3) wlw relationships in marauders era! and 1-2 headcanons about them additionally ♡

omg, I'm glad you asked, bestie! ♡

I'm still new to rarepairs, especially to girls, so it was huge brainstorm, but those three now sitting in my mind.

☆1. narcissa × lily

in that universe, where lily not a mother, she's working as teacher to middle schoolers. and one day there's a gorgeous woman at the door of her class.

narcissa is a single mother who adores her son so much that she would do everything for him. including going out to some stupid school events. but also, she's a businesswoman, always wearing perfect suits and silver glasses.

☆2. mary × emmeline

I see them as two aroace besties, who fall in love with each other because of that comfort they provide.

those two lives for gossip. they love to know everything about everyone. also they attend every existing event in their area.

but also they're can keep secrets so well, all their friends can come to their gorgeous flat with dozens of flowers, being spoiled with tea and cookies, so girls can listen about their struggles and give some advises.

☆3. bellatrix × alecto

listen, maybe bella is from a rich family, I can see her as sugar baby so clear.

so alecto is not that rich, but she build her career with her brother, and now can allow herself to be a sugar mommy for this crazy but sexy devil.

add to that a conflict between alecto and amycus about her, 'spending their money on some bitch'.

[themuseoftheviolets]

bellalecto please please please bellalecto now pleasepleas

alecto, whose family is very low ranking in the sacred 28 and the DEs, grows up envying bellatrix and hating her, wanting to be her. but then somewhere along the way, when they're older and have the mark, that envy turns to lust and she wants to have her.

alecto has this fantasy, of bellatrix as this carmilla-esque vampire who's going to break into her room at night and suck her blood while she sleeps. of this woman who's going to corrupt her and turn her into what she's always wanted to be: someone like bellatrix herself. with a powerful family name and a place amongst voldemort's inner circle.

bellatrix, on the other hand, could not care less about alecto.

they start to spend time together because of the DEs and it's good. they are both insane and like to torture people. they're a good match. and so they start to fuck.

but that's all alecto is to bellatrix, and all these fantasies of true love and obsession are just, well, fantasies. alecto's fanatasies that will never come to fruition because bellatrix doesn't care about her or love her. (and, of course, there's rita fucking skeeter)

Bellatrix Black Lestrange/Alecto Carrow

Murder girlfriends<3

[enbysiriusblack]

think about bellatrix x alecto. For a moment if you will please🙏

they could be the death eater power couple just imagine-

okay yes. love that. have not thought much about alecto but i can def see it. i'm big into quillkiller so i'm sorta imagining it starting as a rebound for bellatrix during first war and after she gets out of prison they start up again and get more obsessively and brutally into each other.

[lemongrass77777-moved]

Bellatrix/alecto is inspired

they are brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before. They could have been circling each other their whole lives. Alecto could’ve been jealous of her, jealously leading to sexual infatuation. Bellatrix could’ve seen the way her eyes light up when she’s cursing people, she could’ve loved it. Both loving the way the other was so unapologetically theirself. They could be meeting each other, but on different terms. Never the most important in the other’s lives, but will always come back. They could find joy while going on DE raids. They could be waltz-ing at high society parties, and people could hate them for it. They could have a sex dungeon. They would have a sex dungeon. I mean Bella does love her knives—*she throws one at me and I collapse*

[moonytoasted]

how i see older marauders-era characters

the ophidians`: alecto carrow, zoya zabini, and aurora sinistra.

slytherin purebloods: bella, narcissa, lucius

gryffindors: alice fortescue, frank longbottom, and kingsley

[capriddle]

I always imagined that, despite being among the few women in the group, Bellatrix and Alecto Carrow didn't get along particularly well, on the contrary I think they had a sincere dislike for each other.
