REC: Beautiful Days (Tom/Merope, Tom/Cecilia)
The link to this fic is broken (author's fic journal appears to be deleted), but I don't want to take this down yet because it really is a beautiful story and I'd love if anyone knows if it's posted anywhere else and has a working link. Thanks!
Title: Beautiful Days
Author: asyndeta
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: Tom Riddle (Sr)/Merope Gaunt, Tom/Cecilia, Riddle family
Fandom: Harry Potter
Summary: In the winter of 1925 the last heir of Slytherin eloped with the young Tom Riddle; this is the story of what happened to her and to Cecilia, the woman Tom left behind.
Why you should read this ...
This is a rarity - a satisfying multi-chapter about two very minor characters that gives us a tantalising taste of their story. Everything here is very plausible and the author goes a step further in bringing both women's stories together in a beautiful study of contrasts.
