Read it here Biophilia (13,000 words). Harry Potter. Bellatrix/Voldemort. M for moderate sexual references. The Biophilia series is a psychological drama, following Bellatrix and Voldemort through a relationship of political expedience that, over decades, profoundly changes them both.

The stories - Biophilia, Chameleon, Not Loveless and Dark Knight - can also be read independently.

Harry Potter. Bellatrix/Voldemort. Borderline NC17 for brief explicitness. The Dark Lord knows his obsession with the wife of one of his most respected lieutenants is a strategic error of epic proportions. He means to remedy the situation. Really.

Read it here Witch Break A Vow (4,400 words). Harry Potter. Astoria/Draco, Astoria/Severus. M for mild sexual references. A Muggle novelist wrote that God loves to make a good man break a vow. Apparently, he does it to witches, too. Read it here Folie a Deux (Madness of the Two) (3,500 words). Harry Potter. Bellatrix/Voldemort. NC17. Explicit. Voldemort rewards his most faithful servant with her greatest wish. It summons memories he'd have rathered stayed buried, and sends them both tripping deeper into madness. The piece is rated NC17 for explicit content, but at its heart, it's a Voldemort character study. Some dark psychological and psychosexual themes. Read it here Under Your Skin (1,100 words). Harry Potter. Snape/Tonks. PG. Tonks always wanted to get under Professor Snape's skin. This wasn't what she had in mind. Fluff, written for Trick or Treat 2012 on Rarepair Shorts.

Companion story to The Blue Vial, told from Narcissa's point of view. Narcissa knows there is another woman - but when she learns who and why, she must make hard choices to bring them all through a hell of someone else's making.

Instructed by Voldemort to make a sex slave of his captive, Lucius gives Tonks a choice between two vials in a bid to save them both. The red vial is for an easy death; the blue vial is to endure. Tonks' choice has repercussions that outlast the war, and ripple through both their marriages for the rest of their lives.
