Countdown (n.) a game show broadcast by Channel 4, where contestants try to make nine letter words from randomly selected letters. Pointless (n.) a BBC quiz show where contestants try to provide the lowest scoring answers on general knowledge questions. On the consequences of the Delacour-Tonks Quit Pact of 2009. Or, Fleur hates working and only wants to do trivia and solve puzzles.
Not all life changing events happen with a bang, nor are they a sudden shift in spiritual tectonics; it’s the little things, always. This is Tonks and Fleur’s story.
When Tonks meets Fleur for the first time, her nose is between goose and pig. Here they are, grown adults, members of the super-secret Order of the Phoenix, gathered around the kitchen table… ready to discuss war. Here Tonks should be, an experienced Auror, supposedly serious and scary (and maybe strikingly beautiful, too), bravely participating in a movement to save Wizarding Britain. Instead, here Tonks is, caught with her nose between goose and pig.
Front-woman of the band Orca Patrol, Tonks, has a very special kink she’s afraid to share with anyone. Along comes a stunningly gorgeous admirer and new biggest fan, Fleur Delacour, to help her fully explore her kink.
Fleur Delacour returns to Britain after the Triwizard Tournament to work for Gringotts and spy for the Order of the Phoenix. Then she falls in love with her Order contact.

Fleur Delacour returns to Britain after the Triwizard Tournament to work for Gringotts and spy for the Order of the Phoenix. Then she falls in love with her Order contact.
Tonks is a very busy and professional Auror, who doesn’t have time for flirting with stupidly pretty trainees like Fleur Delacour, or dealing with her increasingly ridiculous family members. Oh, who is she trying to kid? The way things are going, it’ll be a miracle if she gets any work done at all.
Tonks is given the task of acting as a bodyguard for a new client attending a prestigious pureblood ball, and given strict orders to keep a low profile. But that plan was doomed the moment she laid eyes on Fleur Delacour
Working out the kinks with a new flatmate is never easy. But when that flatmate is as brilliant and infuriating as Fleur? Well, it’s an entirely different kind of challenge. A Modern AU story for Flonks week.
Fleur shaves off all her hair. Tonks changes pronouns, and some other things too. It turns out that Fleur’s got a sharper bite than Tonks thought. And Tonks likes people with a sharp bite.
In which Andromeda Black cruelly betrays her sisters and sets in motion the total destruction of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black because she fell in love with a lesbian muggleborn. (Andromeda’s 6th year)
On a hot summer day while working as an archivist at St. Mungo’s, Theodora (Teddy) Tonks meets Andromeda Black for the first time. Teddy falls in love with her but is painfully aware that as a Muggle-born she has no chance with Andromeda. Or does she?
A year after the war and Andromeda and Theodora (Ted) Tonks are struggling to raise their grandson and deal with their grief. How will they cope? Will their relationship survive?
Minerva accompanies her great-niece to the Quidditch club each Saturday where she plays for the Thestrals. Andromeda chaperones Teddy who plays for the Hippogriffs. And both witches do not get along, at all. Or do they?
It was simple: a tryst whenever they felt like it. No strings attached. No feelings. Stolen moments to escape the pressure. But the heart wants what it wants. Love is unpredictable, and Andromeda realises that sleeping with Minerva is not enough.
“I’m far too old for a young woman like you,” Minerva had said when Andromeda was seventeen and Minerva in her forties. But Andromeda was about the same age as Minerva had been and had lived a full life since they’d parted. She wasn’t about to let her use that excuse again.
While reading her favourite magazine, Andromeda’s eyes fall on a familiar name. There are many parallels between her life and Augusta Longbottom’s. She decides to seek advice from grandmother to grandmother.
Try as she might, Ginny can’t make herself stop loving Tom. The knowledge of his true identity doesn’t prevent the memories of how wonderful he was from consuming her thoughts. Even though it makes her a monster, she can’t stop thinking about him. And if the opportunity to help him came up, well. She was always told to listen to her heart.
A series of one-shots and drabbles about Alecto and Bellatrix’s love, their loyalty to the Dark Lord, and the sweet darkness of everything between. Set in the first war.
Lily Evans is a budding investigative journalist, following the Riddle Family’s rise to notoriety in 1969. Unable to bag an interview with Antonin Dolohov, currently imprisoned for murder, she manages to secure a meeting with Bellatrix Black, arrested for car theft. She is quickly caught in a web she may be unable to unravel. Muggle!AU. Manson Family!AU
Luna Lovegood takes baked goods to Azkaban, Luna meets Bellatrix, and thus forms a strange friendship in which Bellatrix sees something in Luna that reminds her painfully of herself, and Luna fantasizes about being taken away by a particular, beautiful witch.
Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood, side by side and as trussed and full-fleshed as Yule geese. And real, they must be real, neither gui nor Polyjuiced prostitutes, because Malfoy was many things but gauche was not one of them.
the war ends and people rejoice. luna finds bellatrix on the battlefield, wounded, and seeks to protect her. they try to heal as the world around them descends into madness. this is not a happy story.
Voldemort won the war. Pure-blood survivors from the Order of the Phoenix were parcelled off as ‘prizes’ to favoured Death Eaters. Bellatrix Lestrange chose Ginny Weasley; a choice which she has no reason to regret.
Shortly after Lucius has been sent to Azkaban, a stranger shows up on Narcissa’s doorstep to invite her to her cousin’s funeral. Meeting her niece Nymphadora for the first time stirs up old memories, and Narcissa finds she likes her more than she expects - and certainly more than she should.
Tonks thought of the photograph she knew so well from her childhood. What had happened to turn that woman into this snarling, feral creature? More importantly: why didn’t it change the way Tonks felt about her?
Andromeda and Tonks have lost their loves to war. They are both in pain, they are uprooted and isolated in their grief. In the emptiness that remains the other is the only constant. It is natural to find solace and refuge in each other’s arms.
HERMIONE SCORES A HAT TRICK (Hermione/Bellatrix + Hermione/Narcissa + Hermione/Andromeda)
In another world, Hermione Granger never attended Hogwarts, orphaned at the age of three. But Post-war desperation and a chance encounter lead her into the employ of the three Black sisters. She finds herself caught in their deadly web, helplessly waiting to see who will reach her first.
Dark AU- Hermione was sorted into Ravenclaw, she lives a life of isolation in search of knowledge. Enter one of the oldest magical families, will Hermione find her place in life and happiness?
Finally brow-beaten by Andromeda into attending a Black Family “redemption banquet,” Hermione unwittingly finds herself party to a rapidly escalating sequence of events. The War may have ended ten years ago, but some old resentments still run deep, and Hermione will soon learn that there are conflicting agendas at work inside Malfoy Manor.
She has never had the three of them at once because she will die if she does. All that pleasure, all that passion combined will more than likely kill her, she is sure.
Bellatrix wanted to be a dark witch, and she got what she wanted. Andromeda was a dark witch from the beginning and spent her entire life trying to undo it.
Before Andromeda met Ted, she was a Black, through and through. While years later the story was told that she’d turned her back on her family’s dark ways, in truth, nothing was so simple. In the beginning, it was just Andromeda and Bella. And it was just the two of them until it was too much.
This is a story about growing up, about surviving abuse, and about finding salvation and love from anyone you can, even if it’s from the last person on earth you know you should ever hold a deep affection for.
Bella is more than miffed, watching Cissa subjugate herself to Severus. After the events at Spinner’s End, the Black sisters make their way through muggle London. A dynamic shift occurs whilst evading muggles. Tension leads to walls and thralls.
Days like that make you feel like you’ve invented fire, Bellatrix remembers thinking: burning your fingers and inhaling acrid smoke, coughing, and Narcissa with her eyes so blue and alight and mischievous, pulling you close.
The Bellatrix that has been returned to her is not the one that she remembers. Her sister is lost within her shell, and Narcissa doesn’t know if she can stand it.
Lost and alone, Narcissa sets out to find the one person left she truly cares for. Because sometimes moving forward means coming to terms with what happened in the past.
After everything’s come to an end, a beginning arrives as if from the bottom of the earth. Prompt: As she grows older, Narcissa comes to regret cutting off ties with her only surviving sister, and decides to contact her for the first time in decades.
The black sisters were known for their dedication. Whether that was in their love for each other or for their downfall, it was never questioned. This is a short story highlighting their bond and how it broke.
A biweekly HP femslash rec list made by the lovely members of the HP SAFFICS (18+) discord server. See all previous rec lists in the WLW Library. And because the server members were SO enthusiastic about this week’s theme, we have split the rec list into not only 2 but 9 rec lists (!) about the Black Sisters which will be added periodically throughout the next month. So mark this post and enjoy!
This week’s focus: Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa Last week’s focus: Pansmione Pandemonium (see list)
Despite the sneaking around and the urgency that serve as constant reminders that this is forbidden, clandestine, there’s no denying the quiet domesticity that creeps in at the edges […] making Lily want, and want, and WANT, refusing to let go no matter how hard she tries to dig it out.
When James Potter dies to save his son’s life, Lily is left a widow. She finds an unlikely source of support in a witch whose allegiance is questionable.
“It’s always push and shove with us, isn’t it?” Lily asked, seemingly transfixed by the slow and steady trickle of blood that oozed from Narcissa’s lip as she grazed her thumb around the cut. “Gryffindors and Slytherins? Mudbloods and Pure-Bloods?” Narcissa could only shrug.
She doesn’t even get a chance to see Lily’s green eyes or the way her smile changes her face, lights it up into something more beautiful and radiant than the sun. She just knows that this girl has something beautiful, and Narcissa wants to take it. (It isn’t until much later that she realizes what this means.)
“Run,” Lily hisses. “Run!” And the woman is coming after them, fast, and they have, like, ten shopping bags, and Narcissa is grabbing her arm and they’re running, because they’re not going to die, not yet. (Zombie apocalypse AU)
Lily pretended to be asleep in her own bed when Narcissa came out of the shower, but her senses were on high alert. The worst part about it was, she realized she had wanted to know who Narcissa was deep down for a long time. She just didn’t want to admit it to herself. (University AU)
“Problems, cousin?” Narcissa calls to Sirius, cool and sugar-sweet. She’s smirking, braid of pale hair coming loose, and Lily should absolutely be cheering for Gryffindor, but she can’t help herself. As Narcissa turns into a sharp dive, snatching the Quaffle right out of James’s hands as she passes, she whoops, clapping her hands together.
Hermione’s on track to become the youngest Minister of Magic in history. There’s just one issue– the polls hate her. Well, the polls hate her gayness, specifically. When a solution is presented that could fix everything, who’s she to decline?
Nine months ago, Hermione and Millicent had a passionate affair, but now, Hermione is in love with Pansy, a power couple fighting for creature equality in the Ministry. Everything comes crashing down when Hermione discovers she is pregnant and Millicent is the other mother. Hermione had no idea two witches could create life, but now she must answer some big questions about parenthood, intimacy, and love.
Eighth year. Hermione’s ready. She’s going to study, have fun with her friends, and ignore her new roommate’s obnoxious wanking habits. And alright, maybe she wouldn’t be so annoyed with it if she’d had any good sex in the past. But that doesn’t mean she wants Pansy Parkinson to teach her how to wank….does it?
At this very moment, Hermione Granger is a tiny muggleborn child who’s tried half a dozen spells. No one is scared of her. No one knows to expect her. “We’re really doing this,” Pansy eventually says, breaking the silence. “We must be insane.” (time-traveling Pansmione)
Hermione thought her life had quietened now that the world was calmer. She had a good, stable job at the Ministry. She had her pub nights with Harry and Ron. All in all, things were going well for her. That was until she died and was turned into a vampire.
Last week, Hermione finally went to her first lesbian bar. This week, she’s being invited to the office of a very high powered CEO who’s legs never seem to end and who’s taste in whiskey is rivaled only by her own. (Pansmione Wall Street AU)
It started out as a favor for a friend. Show up, model some lingerie, and leave. Easy, right? Too bad the other model was also her ex. An ex she hadn’t seen in eight years. The same ex that had broken her heart.
Ron can’t bring Hermione to orgasm. Pansy decides that Hermione deserves better. And that she would be more than happy to do something about it herself.
“Hey,” Pansy says, forehead creased in concern. “Still with me?” “Yes,” Hermione replies, snapping back into the moment. She shifts her hips, pushes them up in a slow grind that has Pansy cursing under her breath. “Yes, always.”
“Sorry I’m late, babe. You know how it is down at the Prophet.” Hermione’s mouth fell open as she stared dumbly at one Pansy Parkinson. Pansy sent her a look that said, “just go with it” and took Gryffindor’s hand in her own. Hermione shut her mouth.
The first time should have been a fluke. Nothing more than an accident after too much elf wine. Then there was a second time on her desk in her office after hours. The third time is the riskiest of them all but Hermione had realized that she has to stop drinking if this witch is going to be anywhere near her.
I feel like a scream is stuck inside my chest, creeping up in the deep dark hollow of my throat. It’s a mix of pain and agony. So to keep it down, I open my mouth and fill it with your soft, tender flesh. The bronze skin of your shoulder right against my tongue.
'Hermione, it’s your turn.’ Harry bumped his shoulder into her, 'Truth or Dare?’ 'Dare.’ She was a gryffindor after all. 'I dare you to flirt with Pansy for the rest of the night.’
Ginny and Luna haven’t spoken much since Ginny abruptly left Harry and separated herself from most of her old life. Luna is busy working in Diagon Alley [and] Ginny is fresh off a suspension from the Holyhead Harpies. She asks Percy if she can stay in the spare room in his and Oliver’s flat. The trouble is, he’s already offered it to Luna…
After a highly publicized break up with Harry, Ginny finds herself wandering without much purpose in life […] until she reconnects with Luna Lovegood by chance at a coffee shop. Ginny’s looking for a roommate, Luna’s looking for a partner, and they both just might have found what they needed.
“Apparently, if two people are in love, their Wrackspurts match in color.” “What color do you think our Wrackspurts would be?” Luna pondered the question for a moment. “Well, you’re not in love with me, so ours wouldn’t match up,” she said eventually.
A barbecue at the Lovegood residence seems to be the perfect solution to a gorgeous sunny day like this. Then Luna starts to take her clothes off and asks her to go have a dip in the stream…
“You know what they say about girls with short hair who play Quidditch.” Ginny contemplates a Very Significant Haircut. Luckily for her, her girlfriend is kind of an amazing non-conformist. (Also, Ron can’t catch a break, really.)
Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. You wish you’re someone’s ending, but sometimes all you are is a whole lot of middle. Ginny and Harry break up after only dating for a few months his sixth year.
Bellatrix Black is a well respected archer, although she has retired from shooting competitively. Hermione Granger is a young archer who is looking for someone who can help her with her training for an up and coming competition.
A month ago, Pansy would have laughed at the idea of dating Ginny Weasley, Seeker for the Holyhead Harpies and one of Britain’s most well-respected Quidditch players. Now, she supposes, things are different.
Millicent Bulstrode is a successful matchmaker. The irony is, she is still single. When Lavender Brown—Millicent’s childhood crush—shows up and demands that she help Parvati Patil find a partner, Millicent agrees. Little does she know that along the way, she’ll find love for herself, too.
