Winter is coming; daylight is fleeting; for the students among us, end-of-semester hell is just about to rear its ugly head. What better way to combat such woes than with a super-cheerful comment ficathon?

OMIGOD. THANK YOU. (I seriously did not expect anybody to take up the challenge of happy Bellatrix/Voldemort.)
But this. This is perfect. Flawless Bellatrix POV, I even almost sympathize with her racism! Which... is a job well done, as far as I'm concerned. And this:
after seven years of dull terror the world bursts back into color before her eyes.
This is legit beautiful. It is. I do not know how you accomplished it, but it is actually poignant.

I saw it and I thought, "what madness!" and then, pretty much immediately following on that thought was, "I MUST TRY IT" so, you know. That says something about me I am sure. :P
And I am, er. "Glad that you sympathized with her racism" just sounds a bit off but nevertheless! I am glad, because that was sort of the point. :]
I'm so happy that you liked it! It was such a totally unexpected prompt, you rock for leaving it. :D

PERFECT BELLATRIX! I loved the snapshots of her relationships with her parents and how miserable she was at Hogwarts. It all made her finding Tom so perfect for her. Great work.
Title is from a Janis Joplin song (called, shockingly, "All Is Loneliness").

Bellatrix's earliest memory is of her mother, pale skin and wide, dark eyes, cooing over her darling firstborn girl.
"You will be beautiful, my love," her mother said. "Beautiful and powerful, of course. They will all be so proud of you. So proud ( ... )

Sigh. Shippery bliss.
