Title: In the House of Ice and Silence
Author: spessartine
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Tom Riddle/Salazar Slytherin
AN: I'm toying with the idea that, during the decade after he left Hogwarts and began his ascendency, Tom went to eastern Europe to further his knowledge of the dark arts.

( Planets love themselves. They pull like matter to them in spun skirts and really, really, Salazar is like this. He hides it in dryness, shows rock instead of metal, but he pulls Tom in like a tug on silk thread, knowing it will not break. )

Title: Two Memories

Rating: G
Written for omniocular's Non-Fiction challenge: #16 Voldemort: Selected Speeches.

( Item 11099344A (a): 1 (one) recorded memory taken from the mind of condemned prisoner 88758 on March 24th 1980, two days prior to the administration of the kiss. )

Warning: Graphic violence, apocalyptic sex. Huzzah!

Rating: NC-17
Character: Rabastan Lestrange
Prompt: the white birds - for 7spells. Table is here.

( afterwards whenever he saw the dark lips of women as they curled into the deceitful lushness of their smiles, he saw this woman’s mouth, how it was massive and black with blood, how it was bigger than the dark street and the night sky, how it was bigger than death )

A fic in two parts!

No Hunting Like the Hunting of Man

Being an Account of Dubious Authenticity

Grandiose Title and Very Few Words

( it was true that the younger master Black was indeed something of a connoisseur where distaste, faux pas and the many foibles of the lower classes were concerned )

Title: The Rhetoric of Ruin
Author: spessartine
Characters: Voldemort, Tom Riddle
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Death, Megalomania, rhetoric.
AN: I've taken a vague liberty and sent Mrs Black to school at the same time as Tom Riddle. I've called her Talitha Black - a cousin of her future husband due to the whole house of my fathers thing. Plus I can't write a ( Read more... )

Title: Mariners of a Different Light
Author: spessartine
Pairing: Remus/Regulus, implied Regulus/Sirius with the merest hint of Remus/Sirius.
Rating: PG-13
A/N: The first line isn't by me, but is from mackittenx's line exchange.

( Remus' life is made up of these moments, pointless moments of a shared empathy, hollow epiphanies that mean nothing and everything to him, a candle fluttering on the altar of his own pettiness: he could light a church with them. )

Some itemised Blackcest to celebrate 500 watchers. Naturally. Also I have no word count, so I'm probably cheating, but I was bored.
