#druella x cygnus

[mrstellmeafuckingsecret]

see i think Druella and Cygnus were like. Not awful to each other but like. In a trauma bonded from child marriage way. Not in a “we’re actually in love way.” And also Druella has the hots for Walburga and Abraxas & Cygnus has had affairs with too many women too count. but they are like allies and they move to France as soon as Narcissa gets married off

what is your Druella-Cygnus dynamic

dude i LOVE YOU i litr wanted to talk abt them sb also youre so right. druella is so down bad for walburga and walburga's like "im so glad i finally have someone to talk to, you're like a sister to me <33" and druella's sitting in a silk slip wine glass in hand like haha yeah definitely (im going to kill myself) !! (druella eats walburga out platonically though). also abraxas and alphard definitelyyy fucked

so like druella and cygnus right. childhood friends since they were born within the month of each other and were always told how they'd be married and have kids,, only they ended up having a kid veryyy early. when they were THIRTEEN. they were very banter-y, prince and princess, power couple, i-hate-you-but-like-i-actually-don't, i'll-spend-the-last-bits-of-my-allowance-on-you teen romancey yk and now druella's PREGNANTT. and it's. okay. they'd only been fucking around with from what they'd been abraxas and the others do and things just escalated and well,,, sex ed wasn't the best at hogwarts ...

umm so like their whole dynamic changed and they fought all the time and druella hatedd cygnus because she had to be pulled out of hogwarts for months at a time and they had to get engaged but when bella was due cygnus did a whole romantic gesture and was like i love you druella pls and druella knew she was going to be engaged to him anyway so she let him spend some more money on her and then forgave him. andromeda was also an accident (conceived on their wedding night) ,, speaking of weddings walburga was SO jealous because she was in her twenties and unmarried and her FIFTEEN YEAR OLD BROTHER ?? WAS GETTING MARRIED ?? and druella was like omg she's jealous bc she's the one who doesn't have me 🥰🥰 like their whole wedding ceremony she was dreaming of having sex with walburga and cygnus was okay with it because he also dreams of having sex with walburga . when narcissa's born i think they're out of hogwarts ?? im bad at math but like umm yeah. they had a breeding kink btw should be mentioned. bad relationship with sex, too. but like yeah, once they were out of hogwarts they settled in france with their kids (bella and andie were w walburga/grandparents, before) and finally went back to a banter-y dynamic because they weren't constantly fucking fighting and then they came to england (they tried to live with walburga till she kicked them out) (or scared them when she went into one of her episodes) (obligatory bipolar walburga black mention) . uumumummumumumummmmmmmmmm idk if this is dynamic relate-y i just wanted to yap abt them

Not gonna lie I had no idea what this prompt meant so had to look it up. I hope it's right 😅

CW - Torture, use of the cruciatus curse

His father grabbed him by the collar and forced him to walk down the hallway towards the library. He struggled as best he could, but Orion Black knew what he was doing. He flung Sirius onto the hearth rug. Sirius grunted at the manhandling but stubbornly got to his feet and glowered at his father. He hadn’t even done anything this time. He’d been lounging on his bed reading a wizarding history book for Merlin’s sake. 

The library door opened again and a procession of family members filed in. Bella and her husband, Cissa and Lucius, Cygnus and Druella. Then finally his mother. This wouldn't be good. 

He automatically stood up straight with his head held high like he’d been trained to do his entire life. 

“Father, what is going on?” His voice adopted his old accent as a form of self-preservation. His eyes flickered to his mother’s side where Regulus’s grey eyes peeped from. 

“Stop being pathetic Regulus,” Walburga scolded her youngest son, dragging him from behind her. Sirius’s eye twitched as he watched Regulus grit his teeth in pain as Walburga’s hand squeezed tightly around his arm. Sirius had to tense his muscles to stop himself from crossing the room and wrenching her hand from his brother’s arm. 

“It is time for you to take your place in this family, Sirius.” Orion brought Sirius’s attention back to him. His ears pricked as Bella laughed her horrid cackle, but he never took his eyes off his father. He swallowed and steadied himself. 

“What would you have me do, Father?” He kept his jaw clenched tightly, silencing himself. 

“It is time you proved yourself the true heir of the Black family and join us in the new future that shall soon begin.” He felt his stomach sink. This was more than just taking over from his father. 

He allowed his eyes to quickly scan the room. The only ones that seemed uncertain were his aunt, Narcissa and Regulus. His eyes rested on his mother and her superior scowl. This was bad. 

“Enough pretty words Uncle,” Bellatrix burst out, ripping the sleeve from her forearm. “It is time, little cousin, to take the mark and join your family in our rightful place.” She rasped proudly, the snake and skull tattoo stark against her pale skin.

“Father, you can’t be serious!” He turned back to Orion, panic creeping into his voice. 

“We have allowed your little rebellions for too long, Sirius,” Walburga took over as he knew she would. “You will take the mark, Sirius, and you will find more suitable companions. From this day you will no longer associate with the Potter boy and the other riff-raff you seem so fond of.” He couldn’t help it, he shook his head at her. No. “If you won’t agree on your own, then we will make you!” She raised her wand at him. “Crucio!” She spat the curse at him. He watched in slow motion as the red spell crackled its way towards him. 

The pain was unlike anything he’d ever felt. His skin was melting from his bones. A thousand knives sliced into his nerves. Time meant nothing as the pain engulfed him. Then, just like that, it was gone. He was on the floor. He didn’t remember falling. He lifted his head defiantly. 

“Crucio!” Bella cackled with glee. The pain shot back through him, harsher than the first time. He screamed, his throat felt like it was ripping itself apart. He was on the floor again, panting, when his cousin lifted the spell. His body spasmed with aftershocks. But again he raised his head. 

“Crucio!” Orion drawled, flicking his wand at his eldest son. Sirius’s scream croaked out of his burning throat as he thrashed about on the floor. Orion let up sooner than his mother and Bella had, but at this point it meant very little.

It took him what felt like hours to raise himself onto his knees and raise his head this time. He glared at his mother. Seeing Regulus’s blank face beside her. 

“Crucio!” Multiple voices said in unison. He had no idea which of his family members had cursed him this time, but the pain spread to every part of his being. His spine curved backwards and his neck followed. His muscles were so tense he was sure they were tearing. He felt his mind starting to bend towards madness. But he refused to let them win. He conjured Remus’s face to the front of his mind, blocking out what he could. His vision became fuzzy and blackness crept in at the corners. As he lost consciousness, he kept that vision of Remus close.

When he came to, the room was empty. They’d tortured him until he couldn’t take it any more and then left him, broken on the floor. 

“Sirius,” A whimper came from the corner. “Sirius, can you get up?” Regulus’s face appeared above him. “Sirius, you have to go! They’ll kill you,” Something dripped onto his scorching face.

He was rolled over and over and into green flames. “Potter Manor!” Regulus choked out. Sirius’s last view of his family home was of a shaking, tearful Regulus as he swirled away in green flames. 

He landed with a thump on the hearth of Potter Manor in the middle of the night. 

“Sirius?” A voice he’d know anywhere gasped into the quiet room. Candles around the room suddenly burst into life and Remus was holding him, stroking his hair from his face. Sirius burst into tears and grasped at Remus, needing him closer. Remus wrapped him in his arms, murmuring sweet words to him as he gently rocked him. “You're safe now. I promise you’re safe. I won’t ever let them hurt you again.” And for the first time in a long time, Sirius felt safe. He spotted the Potters coming down the stairs and let his eyes close as he lost consciousness again, safe in Remus's strong arms.

Hear me out. The Cruciatus Curse can make people go insane, right? We’ve seen what it did to Frank and Alice Longbottom, and they were some of the brightest and most talented students that Hogwarts had in that time. And we’ve sort of accepted as a fandom that the Cruciatus Curse was a punishment that Walburga used on Sirius and Regulus.

What if Cygnus and Druella Black also used the Cruciatus Curse as a punishment (maybe it was a generational thing, their parents used it as well.) And what if they went a little too far when their strong-willed oldest daughter did something, something reprehensible in the extreme— maybe got too close for their liking with her blond best friend, if you want to make it Quillkiller— and that’s why she’s crazy?

If you were doing Quillkiller (which I am :) ) you could also say that the experience of watching Bella disappear, slowly but surely, and knowing that it was her fault is the reason she behaves the way she does. She needs to control the world, even if she’s lying, because it all needs to be good, look good, just the way she wants it because she couldn’t have that control and Bella left and it was her fault for letting it go that far and now she will never, ever let go.

Welp I’m a total hypocrite because I just gave romantic and tragic backstories to hated characters which I always complain about people doing, but I thought it was a good theory. Maybe not true, but would explain a lot. Let me know what you think!

[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.

Arcturus & Melania Headcanon

Arcturus and Melania were an odd couple that no one expected.

She was quiet and easily slipped by people, but also great at being diplomatic, and could've made a good lawyer or spy. That of course went hand in hand with Arcturus' aspiration to be a court judge in the ministry.

She had a kind heart, with a peculiar sense of humour, and just an overall warm person to be around. Arcturus was quite possessive of her, and got jealous easily, but he was covert about it. He didn't show her. A bit of a yandere, honestly. Any man he felt a little competition with? Critically injured, or never seen again.

Arcturus treated everyone he came across with respect, even mudbloods, which is why he was never suspected of being insane. He was recognised as one of the normal or civil Blacks.

Melania came from the Macmillan family, who were known for being a long line of Hufflepuffs. They were fairly middle class, but not to the same level as the Blacks.

The Black family didn't approve of Arcturus marrying her, but he stubbornly continued courting her, and they stayed together. It took 5 years for Melania to gain Sirius II approval, but it didn't stop the other family members from looking down at her. Out of all her inlaws, Lycoris was nicest to her, with Regulus I being second place. Being an unseen middle child, Lycoris understood what it's like to be visible when people wanted something from you, and confided in her. Regulus I was the baby of the family, and seen as harmless with the agonising need to prove himself. Melania couldn't help but see him the same way, and Regulus kind of hated her for it.

She didn't like playing favourites, but Lucretia was her favourite. Melania loved having a daughter to dote on and spend time with. She didn't love Orion any less, but found it hard to understand his interests.

Lucretia and Walburga didn't get along as children as they were constantly compared to each other: With Lucretia being the well behaved one, and Walburga being the spoiled brat. Melania would set up play dates for them whenever Violetta was unavailable to look after them, but Walburga hated visiting.

Orion inherited Melania's hardworking nature, and focused on his work, never thinking of dating. When Regulus I died, Arcturus started to worry and tried to match Orion with a suitress. Pollux took advantage of this, and convinced Arcturus to have Orion and Walburga wed. Melania was against it due to Walburga's beliefs on muggle hunting, and what that could mean for Orion's future children, but Arcturus' mind was set.

She was a very kind grandmother, and didn't voice disapproval over Sirius' ending up in Gryffindor. She tried to be a mediator surrounding Sirius' growing rebellion.

She occasionally volunteered to look after Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa since Cygnus and Druella were still in school. Melania worried that Pollux and Irma would poison their minds, and she had been correct to find that it had been the case with Bellatrix.

The Prewetts were lower classed, and everyone was horrified to find out that Lucretia became engaged to one. Melania convinced Arcturus to give his blessing, reasoning that if they could marry for love then their daughter could. She used the fact that Orion was an heir against Arcturus, thus being the only one they should truly worry about. It's thanks to her that Lucretia wasn't burnt off, especially after Molly Prewett married into the Weasley family.

A lot of the family members believe that Melania cursed the bloodline, and that Arcturus was a fool to fall in love with her.

Edit: I assumed Lycoris was a boy's name and always thought he or she was male. I like the idea of Arcturus, Lycoris & Regulus being a trio of brothers. I thought it would be funny if there was a doppelganger trope within the family.

Callidora, Cedrella & Charis. Walburga, Alphard & Cygnus. Bellatrix, Andromeda & Narcissa. Arcturus, Lycoris & Regulus.

What about the black family have a family dinner with Druella Cygnus Alphard Walburga Irma Pollux Narcissa Bellatrix Andromeda and Orion and its so chaotic because Irma doesn’t like Druella or Alphard and Walburga doesn’t like Orion and Alphard is teaching the kids pranks

the black family dinner was a cacophony of clinking silverware, half-hearted laughter, and simmering tensions. in the lavish dining room adorned with dark wood and opulent decorations, the air felt thick with unspoken grievances and the aroma of roasted meat.

druella sat at the right side of the head of table, her elegance contrasting with the chaos around her. she caught cygnus's eye, a silent plea for a quiet evening together. but cygnus, sandwiched between his siblings, looked like he was wrestling with the idea of packing everyone up and sending them home. his expression was one of polite exasperation.

across from him, alphard was in the midst of a mischievous lecture to his nieces, bellatrix, andromeda, and narcissa. “and that’s how you make the best exploding snap!” he proclaimed, demonstrating with exaggerated hand gestures. the girls giggled, eyes sparkling with the promise of mischief.

“honestly, alphard, must you be such a bad influence?” irma, their mother, huffed from her seat, arms crossed tightly. her grumpiness seemed to radiate like a storm cloud, making the air heavier. “you’re going to turn them into little terrors!”

druella suppressed a laugh, enjoying the way irma's disapproval bounced off alphard like a quaffle. “let them have some fun, mother,” he shot back with a smirk, undeterred.

“fun? you mean chaos! you’ll ruin them!” irma’s voice rose, drawing the attention of pollux, who was lazily sipping his drink and reading the newspaper. he glanced over the top of the pages, bemused.

“dear, can’t you just let them enjoy their childhood?” pollux offered, but irma rolled her eyes.

“don’t encourage him, pollux! you’re not even paying attention!” she snapped, her mood darkening further. “you’re just sitting there like an old man!”

“because i am an old man,” he replied calmly, his tone light. but before he could continue, irma’s frustration boiled over.

“i’m done with this! i can’t stand the sight of alphard teaching them nonsense!” she exclaimed, standing abruptly, her chair scraping against the floor. “i’m going for a walk!” with that, she stormed out of the room, leaving pollux to shake his head and rise to follow her.

“father! you’re going to let her go off alone?” walburga’s voice cut through the room, sharp with annoyance. she glared at pollux, hands on her hips. “honestly, go after her!”

pollux paused, a bemused expression on his face. “i’ll give her a moment to cool off. she needs space.”

walburga sighed, her frustration bubbling over. “space? you can’t just let her walk away like that. she’s upset! you should be—”

“i know how to handle your mother, walburga,” pollux said, his tone firm yet patient. but walburga shook her head, determination glinting in her eyes.

“fine. i’ll go after her,” she declared, pushing back her chair. before orion could even react, walburga was already striding toward the door.

orion, her husband, glanced at pollux, who waved him off dismissively. “she’s quite capable of handling it,” pollux muttered, still reading his newspaper.

but orion stood, a resigned look on his face. “i’ll follow her,” he said, moving to catch up with walburga.

as he exited the dining room, walburga was already in the hallway, her voice rising in irritation. “Orion, i swear to merlin, you never leave me alone! why is it that you can’t just—”

“shut up, woman. i'm going with you. I don't give a shit if that bothers you or not!” orion countered, his voice laced with exasperation.

“ugh, you're insufferable!?” walburga shot back, turning on her heel to face him, her frustration evident. “I swear i'm going to—”

“you're going to what—”

their argument faded as they trailed after irma, the sounds of their voices mixing with the remnants of the dinner chaos behind them.

back at the table, cygnus sighed, glancing at druella. “this is what family dinners are like?” he asked, half-exasperated and half-amused.

“every single time,” druella replied with a smile, feeling the warmth of the moment amidst the chaos. “but it’s kind of fun, isn’t it?”

“fun? more like exhausting,” he said, but his lips curled into a smirk, betraying his enjoyment. “i just wanted to have a quiet evening with you.”

alphard caught the exchange and winked at his brother, “don’t worry, little brother, once mother and father sort their argument, we can get back to more important things—like teaching these lovely ladies how to prank their parents!”

andromeda perked up at that, a devious grin spreading across her face. “what should we do first?”

“let’s put a charm on father’s drink!” bellatrix suggested, eyes glinting with excitement.

druella leaned back, watching the chaos unfold with a blend of amusement and exasperation. “just make sure it’s harmless,” she called out, laughter dancing in her voice. “i want to keep this dinner somewhat intact!”

“consider it a family bonding exercise!” alphard announced with mock seriousness as the girls leaned in, eager to concoct their plans. the evening spiraled into a whirlwind of giggles and conspiratorial whispers, the lingering tensions forgotten in the face of the impending chaos.

cygnus x druella black (first of many to come!)

if you wanna see something specific for the blacks - feel free to send me a request @zennybearr & i’ll tag you here once it’s done :)

[gulnarsultan]

Hello any headcanon with yandere house of black

You may have met the Black family in several ways. Tips are taken from @thefieryphoenix in this request. I hope you will like it. Feel free to write more requests.

~ Maybe you are a friend of one of the family (young people).

~ Maybe you are the lover of one of them or the bride-to-be.

~ Maybe you met by chance somewhere.

Blacks do not give up their inclination towards you, no matter what your blood status is. They will make everyone believe that you are purebred. Half the week you will stay at Cygnus and Druella's house, the other half with Walburga and Orion. They will spoil you financially. They make sure you have everything you want. Walburga and Druella love to decorate you with beautiful clothes and jewelry. Bella, Andy and Cissa will spend some girl-on-girl time with you. Bella teaches you self-defense, Andy helps you with your lessons, Cissa helps you with your hair and dressing. Sirius will try to make you like him. It will take you to concerts and other muggle activities. Regulus disapproves of his brother's actions. Regulus likes reading with you or doing quiet activities alone. They will get rid of anyone who wants to take you back. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty to be your legal guardians and family. Cygnus and Orion will observe and assist you with your lessons. Alphard brings you lots of presents when he comes to visit from time to time. Pollux and Irma firmly believe that they are your grandparents. At Hogwarts, young people will keep an eye on you. It is a mandatory rule that you write to them every week. Whoever hurts or upsets you, they will get rid of it all. Young people of the Black family will introduce you to their friends. Andy and Sirius want to take you as they run away from home, but they know they can't. They promise to come back to pick you up one day. You are not allowed to work after school is over. They argue that you do not need to work because you are already from such a wealthy family. You get the title of the most perfect aunt of the year. Draco and the other kids (children of the Black teens) love you very much. It is not allowed to have a lover. They will argue that no one deserves an angel like you. They will never give physical punishment, they will only use guilt and manipulation.

[kierancaz]

Is there any fics that are strictly House Of Black drama? Like House of The Dragon type fic that’s just the House of Black doesn’t follow Sirius or Regulus specifically but just round about a through all them to tell the family story sort of thing. Not oneshots preferably but it doesn’t matter and like maybe not a huge focus on hogwarts but like yah that’s the idea

Hi for your OCs, do you have family trees, etc? Perhaps a family tree link?

I’ll be working on that soon actually! Stay tuned! Any ocs in particular?

[widowlurker]

outing myself as a hp brainrotter to ramble abt the Black Sisters

WARNING: ACCIDENTAL ATTEMPT TO WRITE FLOWERY LANGUAGE BY SOMEONE WHOS BASICALLY ILLITERATE

Cygnus: the youngest of his siblings. The most forgotten yet the most fortunate—with Walburga having descended into putting the mad in madness and Alphard declared a traitor for helping Sirius. Passive in all he did, happy to grow his branch on the family wreath tree enough to simply appease the Lords and Ladies. A once acceptable husband wilting away as his wife grew more desperate

Druella: An outsider in name and nationality. The youngest of her own scrutinizing family fleeing to England to not drift away in the chaos of high society. A subject of speculative whispers regarding whether or not she’ll too fall victim to the infamous Black Family Mania. What those same people who whispered that they were proven right don’t know is that that mania is not familial but a product of centuries of perfectionism. A woman reduced to a counterpart—a failed mother with 3 daughters contesting with Walburga’s 2 heirs. A mother who passed her own familial unfavorables to her daughters. A woman who saw herself in her third daughter and final child—a child she titled only in her head yet announced to everyone as her greatest failure—and named her not after the starry patterns of the Blacks but the flowery thorns of the Rosiers

Narcissa: A woman content to fade into the background as the pretty-faced third daughter of 3 children. A woman named after a natural beauty defaced by its grimy background. A girl who was not Black, Malfoy, or Rosier yet above all was loyal to whoever she called family—disregarding what they called her. A woman who saw the women in her life be called mad disgraces, malevolent traitors, and failures and upheld the scraps her branch of the family tree left her with not because it was anywhere close to the romance she dreamed for or the quiet life of obscurity she knew to expect but because no matter how she may lay awake at night comforted by the agony of her blood she couldn’t stand to break her mother further. A lady who married her best friend because she knew that’d be the best bet she had of a happy marriage, and had only one son however much she both longed for and dreaded a daughter.

Andromeda: Always picking up and picking up the pieces for the people around her, as all she’s ever known how to do is love. A woman who saw firsthand how her eldest sister was broken beyond repair despite her attempts and shielded her youngest from witnessing the truths she carried with her as she left her dreaded house (because she can’t possibly call it home, no matter how often her mother or sister—who can really tell the difference—did so, not even trying to act as they genuinely believed this could somehow be anymore than a fortress), her mother’s screaming voice no longer being able to echo in her. A woman who was not saved by the man she loved but floated up to the surface

And Bellatrix. Ohhh Bellatrix. A powerful woman broken and broken by curse upon curse and memory charm upon memory charm for daring. Daring to break against the rigid bark of a tree from which the sword that cut her into pieces was forged, daring to be the first of what many called failures but what should be called those who were failed. A woman who left claw marks in whatever semblance of power she had yet, like any other, fell limp as she took her last breath. A woman who died at the hands of a mother’s love as a woman who never got to know what love would be. A woman who saw a glimpse of herself in blue eyes (not cold and sharp like that of her blood, but like the stars she was named after and would lay on soft grass and needlessly watch with a blonde girl who saw too much and knew too much. A girl who saw a person in a woman who knew too little) before someone else took that from her too. A woman who never knew power and thought she wielded it even as she sat in a cell haunted by what doomed her to the fate she was only halfway through living

Prompt 6 - Extinct

@jegulus-microfic August 6, Word count 919

CW - Broken bodies

Previous part First Wolfstar part

James clasped his hand over his mouth to silent the gasp he inhaled as the entire extended Black family entered the room. Orion Black sat in the large leather armchair beside the fire. Cygnus Black, took the matching chair opposite, while the three ladies, Walburga, Druella and Narcissa took the wide settee. James and Sirius were stuck.

“Cygnus, Druella, I want to start things off by saying how sorry I am for your loss. The family’s loss. Bellatrix was the best of our family. We and I’m sure the Dark Lord will miss her presence.” Orion spoke solemnly. The gathered members raised glasses of red wine and firewhisky that had suddenly appeared beside them and toasted to Bellatrix. 

“It is a shame that she did not think to conceive, before her untimely end. But I suppose she thought she’d have more time. Plus the loss of the last of the Lestrange’s to boot. It was a dark day when the Order attacked them.” Cygnus sighed, staring darkly into the depths of his whisky glass. 

“Albus Dumbledore's holier than thou little group of do-gooders, murdering all those witches and wizards? Come now, Cygnus, you don’t believe that for a second, do you?” Orion scoffed. 

“But the Dark Lord—” Cygnus began, but Orion cut him off. 

“No, it was ferocious. I saw the destruction left behind. They were animals. Tore them limb from limb. I couldn’t tell the Lestranges apart. The only way I knew it was Bella was by her hair and the wand clutched in her arm a few feet away from her body.” Orion tutted. “Absolute animals. I have no idea who the others were with them and there's no record of the prisoner in the dungeon. Merlin knows who they had down there.” He finished drinking deeply from his glass. 

“But who would do such a thing?” Druella sniffled, taking a silk handkerchief from her robes and dabbing at her eyes. “My poor Bella, so much talent gone to waste.”

“And now we are without an heir, again!” Walburga spat unhappily. “I suppose it will have to be Narcissa, but I am loath to let the Malfoy’s get their claws on our riches. Dragons, the lot of them!" 

“But what about Sirius? He’s the only one who can carry on the family name,” Orion argued. James felt Sirius stiffen beside him and grabbed his arm in a vice-like grip. He’d been so caught up in the conversation he’d almost forgotten that they were actually standing in the room. 

Walburga leant forward, her teeth bared, not unlike the werewolves when they got angry. 

“I would rather have our family name become extinct before I welcome that worthless excuse for a son back into the fold.” She sat back and composed herself. “Regulus may not have been the best choice for an heir, but at least he followed orders. It’s an irritating inconvenience that he didn’t live.” She turned to Narcissa, seated beside her. “You are the only one left who can carry on the bloodline, it’s just a shame you were born a female and there aren’t any other Black family members you could have married.” Narcissa squirmed uncomfortably in her seat just once, before correcting herself. 

“I’m sorry, Aunt. I promise any children Lucius and I can bear will be raised with the Black family values the same as I was,” Narcissa said with no emotion in her voice. 

“As I would expect,” Walburga barked. “When they are old enough you will bring them to me for instruction. I was too lenient on my own sons, but I shall remedy that.” Sirius scoffed and James had to nudge him, reminding him they needed to be quiet. Orion turned his head in their direction, his blue eyes, the same as Sirius’s, slowly examining the area where they were standing. His eyes crinkled and the corners of his lips twitched. James felt his stomach drop. Did Orion know they were there?

“Yes Aunt,” Narcissa said, her jaw clenching. James watched as her hand fluttered over her stomach and rested gently against her dress.

“I believe lunch is being served. Shall we?” Orion stood and gestured to the others. He waited for them to go, using his drink as a way to delay his exit. James and Sirius watched as he took a quill and a scrap of parchment from a drawer and scribbled something down. He looked again to the corner James and Sirius stood in and smiled warmly before walking out of the room, leaving the door open for them. 

Before James could stop him, Sirius was dragging him across the room to see what his father had written. 

‘Take whatever you need. Be safe and don’t linger, Sirius.’

Sirius froze at the words, his hand brushing across the parchment. He snatched up another piece to leave a message of his own. 

“Sirius, no!” James hissed under his breath. “If anyone sees it, you’ll be putting us all in danger,” Sirius stopped, his quill hovering over the parchment, dripping a few spots of ink as he warred with himself. 

“I have to, Prongs,” He said before scribbling across the parchment. 

‘The dog saved the cat from its strange underground cage. They took to the trees where they both are free. 

A Riddle they have found. A Riddle they will end. Only then will they be seen again.’

“Poetic shit. Alright, let’s go!” James hurried Sirius from the room, and they fled the house as silently as they could.

What do you think of Walburga x Narcissa or Walburga x Bellatrix ,do you think it would kind of be like your pansycissa except so much sicker because its aunt and niece? Do you think Walburga ever saw herself in either of them and became extremely possessive of them?

WHY HAVEN’T I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE…. @sugarsnappeases we need to get on this..

i talked a bit about bellas relationship with walburga when i was knee-deep in the bellareg marriage au, and i 100% think she grew up idolizing her. i think walburga exudes a lot of power and can appear very indimidating, but as bellatrix grows up she loses a lot of respect for her aunt because she realises that at the very core of it all she’s just a pawn. has always been a pawn. orion has her on a very tight leash and at the end of the day she’s just his wife. she doesn’t actually have any power, and she takes her anger out on her children while orion takes his anger out on her. she doesn’t have her own motivations or ambitions other than producing and heir and being a pureblood wife. bella grows up and realises that the real puppet master is the man of the house, and will always be the man of the house. walburga lives by his commands, by his rules. i’ve said it before, but im of the opinion that walburga’s abuse is only allowed because orion is the one to allow it. he’s the one who’s got actual real say-so when it comes to his sons. that’s not to say walburga is innocent by any means lol, it just means that i think orion would punish her if he ever thought that she went too far. anyway, i quite genuinely think bella grows up to hate walburga because she paints the picture of who she’s supposed to become. she was never powerful, and in the grand scheme of things, walburga isn’t really anything. she’s just a wife and a mother & a failiure at that <- losing sirius, the heir.

WALBURGA AND NARCISSA COULD BE SOOO INTERESTING THOUGH…….. and i can 100% see it being a pansycissa situation, and maybe even a catalyst for pansycissa in the future. narcissa is the (only) malleable black sister, the quiet and obedient one, the one on the sidelines. andy is the one who gets out, bella is the one with ambitions. narcissa could be the daughter she never had.. which could be so cunty if we think about sirius leaving & how she views regulus as a weak comparison to his brother. and here’s narcissa who just wants to do good, to fulfill her duties, to blend into the background. maybe walburga takes her under her wing, maybe a little mentor/mentee situation going on, maybe to spite druella or cygnus, maybe because having sons has been nothing but a disappointment and she should’ve had a daughter instead. Trust…. i will be pondering this…….

Labour

Oh hey, it's been a while. Like years...Oops...Well here's another story drop that I might fulfill.

Labour

Tom riddle x reader/ based off literal translation of labour by paris paloma

context before story begins:

Will take place over a timeline but for context of relationship before touching it, Tom riddle needed to continue to his bloodline and what better way to do that than find a girl whose family predominately only produces males. He meets (reader) in her 6th year scouting for a family line at Diagon Alley. Hence he sees you and recognizes the name. He finds you to be the perfect little candidate to fulfill his dreams, but he will coax you into getting to know him first with secret letters and then meet you the day you graduate.

For somebody I thought was my saviour, you sure make me do a whole lot of labour.

Ages and timeline-ish

Reader for sake of the story will be born 1936

Tom Riddle- 1926

Children (in order)

Salazar Marvolo Riddle- 1955

Tom III Corvus Riddle- 1956

Oliver Morfin Riddle- 1960

Unnamed child- 1960

Augustus Reuben Riddle- 1964

Ominis Ivan Riddle- 1971

Cygnus Black- 1932 (changed birth year for sake of it making sense due to you know who messing up the math)

Druella (Fmr. rosier) Black- 1935 (same reason for birth year change)

Children (in order)

Bellatrix- 1951

Andromeda- 1953

Narcissa- 1955

Orion Black-1929

helloooo lune dear <3 can i ask about sisters strangers stardust pretty please??

laaaauurrriiieee<3 i was busy so i forgot about the asks eurgh i know shame on me BUT i will give u an extra long snippet

this is my black sisters fic that's been rotting in my docs for at least a few months but i do like it a lot, just not on the forefront of my mind atm

[to set the scene: bella is already married and moved out, but they're all together for an occasion in their family mansion about to cheers with sparkling wine or some pureblood equivalent (also X resembles some pureblood heir and XY his family name)]

“I can’t,” Andy breathes out. “Yes, you can,” their mother rolls her eyes, “No need for false modesty, darling.” Andromeda stares at her from across the table for a long moment. Then she takes a shallow breath and says, “I’m pregnant.” And Narcissa immediately knows something isn’t right. Other than the fact that her sister is sodding pregnant at only 18, of course. Something is wrong, something is very, very off. Bellatrix looks fully present for the first time since she stepped through the door of their home today, eyes intently fixed on their sister now. ”Pardon?“, Cygnus calls in from the head of the table. ”Wha— When?“ Druella stammers and Narcissa can see the cogs turning above her head for the opportunity her daughter and X could have had between all the chaperones at the various events they’d attended to meet up with the XY family. A needless, wasteful attempt at clocking the incident.  Since it wasn’t X. That supposition is only confirmed when Andy flits a nervous glance at Narcissa and their eyes meet.  Pleading. For what, Narcissa cannot make out and it scares her motionless, frozen. She’s not sure she’s breathing. Their gaze breaks when Andy looks back at Druella, shoulders incredibly tense, and licks her lips, “For one and a half months now.” After a few seconds a disbelieving chuckle tumbles from between their mother’s lips. It sounds dismissive almost, posed already, masked automatically. “Well, that is rather untraditional and also,” Druella looks at her daughter disapprovingly as well as a little alien, “—unexpected, may I say. And while it does work analogically to the engagement I’d have thought you to be able to keep your hands to yourself for the time being. Especially with the way you were regarding the boy the first time you two met officially. Surprising, as I say, it is.” Druella seems to be talking more to herself now than the rest of the family, eyes flitting along the pristine white table cloth, “We’ll just move the wedding up. Should be no trouble compromising with the XY for an earlier date, no need for any hysteri—” She falls quiet suddenly as Cygnus raises a hand to silence her, squinting at his second-oldest suspiciously. Andromeda’s eyes are tear filled now, lips pressed into a hard line, a knit to her brows. She keeps shaking her head minutely, begging not to force her say it, desperate for forgiveness, or mercy more like, regretting saying something in the first place. “Whose child is it, Andromeda?” their father’s voice comes, low and demanding.�� Narcissa’s heart skips out.
