My Collected Bellamort Works

Here’s a list of all my Bellatrix/Voldemort fanfic currently online.

A Silver Splintered River - Bellatrix receives a very peculiar gift for her twenty-first birthday - the kind that transports her, along with Lord Voldemort, to 1920s Paris. In the midst of Grindelwald’s ascent and while trying to unravel the mystery of the cursed “gift,” Voldemort becomes more than Bellatrix’s lord and master. Rated M. Complete. ~75,000 words.

Desiccated and Drowning - 1970. A curse from Dumbledore in battle drains Voldemort of his magic. Weakened and powerless, he hides in his home with the one Death Eater who tagged along with him from battle - Bellatrix Black. With enough time and enough wine, the crippled Voldemort starts to see some value in the reverent Bellatrix… and she’s certainly willing. Bellamort. Rated M. Complete. ~58,000 words.

Her Cruel and Angry Bones - After bickering with a Muggle-born, Bellatrix loses her temper and instinctively uses the Cruciatus Curse at Hogwarts. Expelled, facing permanent seizure of her wand, Bellatrix is saved by a bargain manipulated by Voldemort, who wants to forge this cruel child into a soldier. As his ward, under house arrest at Malfoy Manor, Bellatrix becomes more than she could have ever imagined. Rated M. Complete. ~160,000 words.

Provocation - He always felt like he was seconds away from breaking, like the slightest provocation would do him in. He hadn’t watched her dance since then. One-Shot accompanying Chapter 13 of my Bellatrix/Voldemort epic Her Cruel and Angry Bones. Rated M. Complete. ~2,000 words.

Let Your Indulgence Set Me Free - Desperate to escape life with the alcoholic Cygnus Black, Bellatrix seeks help from the shadowy Lord Voldemort - an old school friend of her father’s. Voldemort offers to control Cygnus’ behavior and delay Bellatrix’s betrothal to Rodolphus Lestrange in exchange for a favor - Bellatrix must be his date to an upcoming Pureblood wedding. What could possibly go wrong? Rated M. Complete. ~53,000 words.

Robbers’ Retreat - She was someone else’s wife, and he was Lord Voldemort. He had no time or space or energy to think about her. And, anyway, she was married. But here he was, staring into a fire, remembering the warm softness of her skin beneath his palm and wide shimmer of her dark eyes. Rated M. Complete. ~54,000 words.

One is One and All Alone - Sequel to Robbers’ Retreat - read that first! Having gotten rid of Rodolphus, married Bellatrix, and helped her through the excruciating process of creating a Horcrux, Lord Voldemort finds there’s more to being a family man/aspiring dictator than he’d ever anticipated. Jealousy, possessiveness, greed, lust, and a thirst for power combine to snarl his climb. Rated M. Complete. ~62,000 words.

The Night Has Gone and Taken - Part III of the Songs of Bellamort Series - Sequel to Robbers’ Retreat/One is One and All Alone. Lord Voldemort is threaded up more tightly with Bellatrix than he could have ever imagined. But even as he ascends to power and absorbs his freshly forged bond, he and Bellatrix endure one catastrophe after another. As the world crashes down around them, can they survive together? Rated M. Complete. ~30,000 words.

Shields Before Hearts - "Dumbledore’s a coward just the same.“ "I reckon he always will be, Master,” Bellatrix said softly. “He always flees these duels because he is afraid. He’s afraid of you . They’re all afraid of you.” Voldemort gave her a withering look. “The least he could do is give me the opportunity to stand over his corpse and admire my work. I don’t ask for much.” Bellamort One-Shot. Complete. ~2,000 words.

Wars and Warlords - It was meant to stay purely physical. She was just here to serve his body’s whims, to satisfy the basest urges he might possess. And she was more than willing. But nothing ever stays purely physical. The human parts always creep in. Rated M. Complete. ~53,000 words.

The Stronger and Stranger It Becomes - 1971. Bellatrix Lestrange is incapacitated and Obliviated by an Auror during a battle in Scotland. When Lord Voldemort realises just how extensive the damage is to her memory, he knows he’ll have to work hard to regain his most ferocious little warrior. Along the way, an unsettling magnetism between the two develops, which proves to be… particularly problematic. Rated M. Complete. ~50,000 words.

The Most Useful of Them All - "She may prove the most useful of them all, Voldemort thought, and he suddenly realised that it did not matter whether Bellatrix Black married Rodolphus Lestrange. Her devotion was obvious, and Voldemort intended on capitalising fully upon it. He would make Bellatrix Black his.“ HP and Cursed Child canon-compliant Bellamort tale spanning the decades of their relationship. Rated M. Complete. ~107,000 words.

The Ninth Chime of the Seventh Hour - January 1996. Bellatrix Lestrange is among those broken out of Azkaban. But the Bellatrix who emerges from prison is a sprightly nineteen-year-old who fell asleep in 1970 and woke up in a cell ten days before the breakout. How will the resurrected Voldemort handle the presence of this ghost, this witch who has not yet lived all the things that mattered? Rated M. Complete. ~110,000 words.

Troublemaker - Autumn 1968 - Bellatrix has come of age and pledged herself to the Dark Lord.

Slow burn, novel-length Bellamort. Part I of completed Troublemaker series. Rated M. Complete. ~80,000 words.

The Little Boy and the Old Man - Voldemort started to make his way through the sitting-room, knowing it was only a matter of time before a small army showed up to hunt him down.

A Beast Unto Ourselves - 1971. MACUSA is on the brink of chaos. Lord Voldemort is cementing his rule with Bellatrix at his side. With linked minds and twinned souls, the twisted love story of the Troublemaker series continues. Part III of Troublemaker Series. Complete. ~60,000.

Part IV of the Troublemaker Series. Complete. ~55,000 words.

Unable Are the Loved to Die - 1975. Voldemort has been in power for years. He and Bellatrix have a strongly-established mental link. They have Horcruxes.

The Best Sort of Blunder - After a drunken encounter in his office on New Year’s Eve of 1969, Lord Voldemort realises that his youngest Death Eater and Hogwarts spy is going to seem and behave a bit differently.

Hardtack

Hardtack is the story of Ellen “Nell” Armstrong, an iron-willed Kentucky girl, and her two best friends, Sam and Isaac. Their life in Paducah is uninterrupted by much of anything interesting… that is, until the Civil War sweeps over everyone, pulling Sam and Isaac in opposite directions. A complex web of love, marriage, and betrayal is soon woven around the trio. Can their friendship survive the conflict? Hardtack is a rap-scrabble romance on the banks of the Ohio, under the looming specter of war.

Kindle and Paperback Versions Available Here

“Sometimes the smoke from the factories and riverboats and trains would obscure the night sky entirely. But the town’s industrial breath was blowing somewhere else tonight, and so the Armstrong house was bathed in starlight. Nell studied the little white specks, like glittering dust on black velvet, and she asked,

‘You boys ever wonder what it’d be like to be somewhere else?’”

Bellamort Pet Peeve

When people refer to Rodolphus Lestrange as “Rod” instead of “Dolph.” It’s a personal preference, obviously, but I think Dolph is a wayyyyyyyy cooler nickname for him than Rod or Roddy. I always use Dolph in my stories. Just saying.

[bella-black-lestrange-riddle]

Rodolphus: Admit it! You like my wife.

Voldemort: Oh, come on. I mean, am I attracted to Bella? Sure. Do my days feel better when I'm around her? Yeah. Does she get me in ways no woman ever has? Indubitably. Do I fantasize about her? Yes, but only in two positions. Look, am I the kind of person who would try to steal someone else's wife? Sure, of course, but do I like her? The answer's no.

Thank you, CNN, for referring to Hyperemesis gravidarum properly in your coverage of the Royal Baby instead of calling it something idiotic like “acute morning sickness” or “severe morning sickness.” (Which is sort of like calling lung cancer an “acute cold”) I appreciate that CNN differentiated HG as a separate condition entirely from typical morning sickness. Way to go!

Do you still plan to repost “All Men Are Afraid of Dying” on AO3? I mistakenly deleted the copy I had, and was hoping to download it again. Thank for this work.

It’s up on Fanfiction.net... reposting is kind of laborious, but I will try to get it back on AO3 ASAP. Thanks for asking. :)

Dumbledore, died at age 115

Horcruxes made: 0

Voldemort, died at age 71

Horcruxes made: 7

Conclusion: Voldemort was the most useless, magic dependant wizard that ever existed. He could have lived till like 200 if he just ate well and exercised, but no he had to go and split up his soul and ruin perfectly good jewellery, fucking dumbass.
