Title: Literary
Author: Evandar
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance
Pairings: Bellatrix/Narcissa
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and am making no profit from this story.
Summary: Bellatrix likes poetry.
Author's Notes: Written for the prompt Harry Potter - Bellatrix/Narcissa - sonnet on femslash100's Drabbletag5. While we're on the subject of sonnets, though, Shakespeare's Sonnet 129 reminds me a lot of these two.



She likes poetry. She likes the lusty obsession of it; smuggles slim volumes of it into the house so that she can pour over the beauty within their pages and recite it to Cissa when her sister is curled in her arms in the dark. She inks sonnets onto Cissa’s skin – the words of dead Muggles staining her baby sister’s pure, pale flesh and hidden beneath her clothes until they smudge and smear with sweat. She could write sonnets of her own if she wanted. She knows enough about lust and obsession to be able to do it, but never does.

Love the sensuality, and something about the fact that Bella never uses her own words just fits.

Thank you <3 I had a bit of trouble with this prompt because Bella's never struck me as a particularly poetic individual. But I'm pleased with how this one turned out - and the fact that she doesn't use her own words is part of that.
