Black Sisters
modern au marauders era: the black sisters (pre-war)
“In the end, the tortures tearing the … girls pointed to a simple reasoned refusal to accept the world as it was handed down to them, so full of flaws.” The Virgin Suicides, Jeffrey Euginedes
The Black Sisters - There were never three sisters as close as these, but despite their constant entanglement of laughter and secrets and limbs and lips, they grew to be three very different Slytherins.
Andromeda: cunning self-preservation Bellatrix: power-hungry ambition Narcissa: resourceful loyalty
Do you ship Bellatrix/Narcissa? I've received a lot of hate for it these days so I was hoping to find some comfort here :/
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. :)

If they made a marauders movie, who would you cast for them? And also next gen cast?
The Marauders I have the most intense feels about are the Blacks and the Malfoys, so they’re the only ones I picture clearly
Andromeda: Emilia Clarke
Narcissa: Margot Robbie
Bellatrix: Phoebe Tonkin
Sirius: Avan Jogia
Regulus: Leo Mangieri
Lucius: Jeremy Dufour
As for my Next Gen boys:
James: Wynston Shannon
Al: HughVidler

Andromeda / Narcissa (photos not mine)
The war is over, Lucius is condemned, Draco is rebuilding his life, and Narcissa is alone in her cold, empty home that no longer feels familiar after Him. She spends her days regrowing her gardens in the hope of filling her hollow chest with blossoms. Then one day while tending to a particularly vibrant pink peony, she remembers a long-forgotten photo of a baby girl with pink hair this exact shade. A dam of regret and longing breaks loose, and the next thing she knows, she is drafting a letter to her sister. Every stroke of ink is a memory of wandering fingers; every splatter of ink brought on by her shaking grip is a freckle from her favorite cluster on Andy’s hip. Maybe, just maybe, they can have that all again.
-
The war is over, Ted and Dora are gone, and once again Andromeda has a beautiful, colorful baby in her arms- though this time around is worlds harder. He looks heartbreakingly like her girl, there’s no Ted to take the baby when she’s tired, and she doesn’t know if she can do this alone. Then one day there’s a letter in the familiar script that makes her heart constrict, and she’s unfolding her sister’s apology with trembling hands. The elegant curve of the ‘y’ at the end of ‘Cissy’ somehow reminds her of the way her sister’s body used to look curled up in her sheets in the mornings, and before she’s finished the thought, her quill is flying through her response. As she watches her tawny owl grow smaller and smaller in the horizon, her soul fills with a giddy hopefulness that’s been gone since she was seventeen, since she last held her sister in her arms.
