Literatti: Fiction By Deslea

This series, around 26,000 words in total, follows Lucius, Tonks, Narcissa, and Remus through war and its aftermath. Lucius is instructed to make an example of Tonks, who is captured as a spy, by making a sex slave of her. He gives her a choice between two potions - one for an easy death, and one to endure. Both families are drawn into their push-pull of sympathy and revulsion for the rest of their lives. Content warnings for rape, Stockholm Syndrome, and disturbing material generally. Read it here

"Snape and Tonks are strictly a sideline – I've only written them three times – but I enjoy them a lot. One of the first things we're told about Tonks is that she was able to filter out unimportant information and zoom in on the truth, and I think she would have figured out Snape's reasons for being Dumbledore's spy – and therefore the truth of his allegiance – very quickly."

Ratings are roughly equivalent to those used by the Motion Picture Association of America.

G: General audiences.
PG: Parental Guidance. Adult concepts and dilemmas, but without graphic detail.
M (or R): Mature audience. Adult concepts and dilemmas, anti-social attitudes, people doing the wrong thing and not necessarily feeling guilty about it. Also includes low-level sexual content (a few soft-focus paragraphs with little or no direct discussion of body parts). Most of my work is M.
NC-17: No children 17 or under. May contain explicit and extended descriptions of sexual activity, brief but graphic sexual descriptions, or graphic violence. A couple of my works contain rape scenes; these are graphic but not sexualised, and are appropriately marked with content warnings.
Trigger/Content Warnings: I take a conservative approach to triggers and will generally warn for anything that might trigger reader trauma to do with violence, self-harm, or grief. If the term "dark themes" is used, this may mean too many dark themes to mention, a dark theme that I don't want to reveal because it's a plot twist, or a vague dark feel that doesn't have a more precise description. Caveat lector.
