the bed was the canvas; we were the art.

Hello! I’m so, so sorry you’ve been getting hate for shipping these wonderful sisters, but I’m honored you felt you could come to me for support. 

@themalfoymanner and I have actually taken this ship a step further and are planning on writing a fic (we have a few others to finish first, but it’s on the list!) about Bellatrix/Narcissa/Andromeda, focusing on their younger years first where they’re all sexually involved but Narcissa and Andromeda have more of an emotional relationship than they do with Bellatrix, and what happens when Bellatrix starts getting involved with the Death Eaters. I’ve created an edit focusing on Narcissa/Andromeda in the same universe but after the war, if you’d like to check that out! 

I’ve been intrigued by the Black sisters for a long time. We get really interesting glimpses of their relationships in the books, and it’s always made me curious for more. Their dynamic especially intrigues me, because as tight-knit pureblood sisters, they’d be close, but their personalities are so different. And their differences would only become more drastic and even dangerous when Bellatrix starts turning darker and Andromeda becomes friends with Ted Tonks and Narcissa has to be some sort of middle ground, trying to hold their unraveling sisterhood together, all while fearing what Bellatrix is becoming and worrying how the family will react to Andromeda’s increasing “blood-traitor” ideals. Their history if they were all involved when they were younger (which, honestly, the Black family would probably encourage because who else is good enough for Blacks besides themselves?) makes it even more interesting when they’re older and Andromeda leaves and also when Bellatrix is in the Manor during the war. 

Further more, I see absolutely nothing wrong with shipping sibling incest (or incest of any kind). My favorite ships actually fall under this category, and in general they’re so rich. Incest ships can offer so much, everything from the unending love of family to the crushing guilt of realizing they like one another before it’s discovered that the feeling is mutual. 

I love them so, so much, and there’s no harm in it. It’s just fiction, and what you read/write/watch in this world says nothing about the kind of person you. I’ve received hate for incest ships too, and I really just wish people would “live and let ship.” You don’t have to like it or read it, but you should respect that others do and let them do their thing. 

I hope this helped! If you still need some cheering up, I suggest taking a scroll through my Black sisters tag. :)
