Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Regulus Black/Bellatrix Black Lestrange
Theme set: Beta
Rating: R
Warning[s]: Guess (it starts with an 'i' and ends in 'ncest')
Note: The sentences take place over a broad expanse of time-- Regulus and Bellatrix's ages range from around 4-18 and 14-28, respectively, so keep that in mind, and the sentences are not in chronological order.
Walking
Bellatrix was always so graceful: the way she walked, the way she talked, everything, and Regulus admired that about her, almost going so far as to want to be just like her in that sense.
Waltz
You danced with her once, when you were first learning (your mother insisted); you stepped on her toes and she pinched you in return (really, really hard), but you remember having fun, both of you.
Wishes
"Wishing on stars is useless, Cousin," Bella says, laughing at Regulus for doing such a silly thing, and adding, "If you want something to happen, you need to make it so."
Wonder
Her skin is darker than yours, you note, tracing your fingers along a small trail of moles, and so much softer than you ever imagined.
Worry
Bellatrix worries about Regulus during their raids, their battles-- she keeps a close eye on him, somehow managing to keep Barty out of trouble as well, and haughtily brushes off any fellow Death Eater who bothers to question her about this.
Whimsy
Bellatrix's laugh (her real laugh, the one only really ever heard by you) is so rare, yet so contagious, you have to laugh with her, even if she is laughing at your expense.
Waste/Wasteland
She paints pictures in your head--monsters under the stairs, lurking in the kitchen, waiting in the attic, always longing to devour you or punish you-- and though the stories fill you with fright, make you terrified of your own home in the night, you can't imagine bedtime without them.
Whiskey and rum
Bellatrix stumbles into Regulus, kissing his cheek as he places a steadying hand on her arm and mumbling, "Having fun, Cousin?"
War
Regulus fights a war he doesn't believe in, under a master he can't quite support-- but he does believe in Bellatrix, will always support Barty in whatever he does, and he fights alongside them hoping that will be enough to continue on.
Weddings
Bellatrix spends most of her wedding reception playing a very tough game of hide and seek with Regulus and Barty-- she says if nobody finds the three of them, she will take them out for ice cream later, and the two eleven-year-olds go along with the ploy happily.
Birthday
You got frosting in Bella's hair on her seventeenth birthday--it was her Coming of Age and you got frosting in her hair-- and you were so scared she would be angry, you didn't realise she'd returned the favour until she laughed and told you to open your eyes.
Blessing
Regulus is mortified when Bellatrix walks in on him and Barty, but all thoughts of, 'Oh fuck I'm dead,' are gone when she ruffles his hair and says, "Pity I do not have my camera on me, you two are so cute all the time."
Bias
"Well of course you would think so," she said when you let out an embarrassing remark about how beautiful her eyes are, "We have the same ones."
Burning
Bellatrix's skin is hot hot hot, smouldering in comparison to your own cold flesh, and touching, licking, feeling every inch of it ignites something inside of you.
Breathing
Whenever Regulus gets hurt, no matter how or where or why, Bellatrix checks to make sure he is breathing first; it has something to do with a disastrous babysitting experience Bella had with him once, but whenever he asks about it, she checks his pupils, so he's stopped bothering.
Breaking
Any thoughts of how very wrong this is all is vanish as soon as Bella kisses you.
Belief
Bellatrix tells Regulus that what the two of them get up to is perfectly fine, that nobody will find out, that he need not be ashamed, and he believes her.
Balloon
When you were five Bellatrix popped a balloon you got at the park, and you cried, wondering why on earth she would have done such a thing-- and then she popped Sirius' as well, and you kind of saw how funny it was.
Balcony
Barty jumped off a balcony once at a party ("I was trying to fly!" he told Regulus later), and while everyone was panicking and attending to him, Bellatrix made sure Regulus was alright as well ("No, he is not dead, look, dead people do not bite people who try to bandage them.").
Bane
It wasn't really a thing, and you two would have ended it eventually, but when your mother puts an abrubt halt to all those late night, behind closed doors activities you get up to with Bellatrix, you can't help but miss her.
Quiet
Bellatrix is loud, out there, always the centre of attention, causing a stir-- Regulus is content with just getting lost in the crowd and watching his cousin in her element.
Quirks
Bella snaps at somebody for accidentally touching her hair, breaks the man's fingers, actually, and Regulus is glad that no-touching rule does no apply to him.
Question
It was a simple, naive question--all teenagers wanted to know what it was like at some point-- but the answers Regulus got from Bellatrix were just a bit more than he had been expecting.
Quarrel
Whenever Sirius picks another fight with their parents, Regulus hums a song Bellatrix used to sing to him as a child, and he feels a little bit better.
Quitting
Regulus has nightmares sometimes, where Bellatrix and Barty are decidedly less lucky in the battles they engage in than they normally are, and he feels the doubt creep in more and more after each sudden awakening.
Jump
Regulus jolted and let out a small shriek (that he would later deny) when Bellatrix appeared out of the shadows with an eerie, "Boo."
Jester
Bellatrix has far more fun hanging around with her cousin Regulus and his friend Barty--playing childish games, sitting around and laughing--than she does with people her own age.
Jousting
She's glorious in battle (distracting, as well) with her wild, intense, striking eyes, and the way curses roll so easily off her tongue.
Jewel
One of your earliest memories is of Sirius laughing at you for trying to make daisy chains, and Bellatrix smacking him, then spending the rest of the afternoon showing you how.
Just
You two are not dating, not a couple, not having a fling; you are just cousins, you are just tickling her, she is just helping you, and that is that.
Smirk
Bellatrix was never one to really smile-- she smirked, she grinned, she looked amused-- but Regulus liked to think that sometimes, she did for him, and he felt quite priviledged to witness such a rare sight.
Sorrow
She didn't cry when Regulus was announced missing, didn't act too upset-- 'missing' may have implied 'dead', but even Bellatrix needed some false hope every now and then.
Stupidity
For once, you are the one falling down drunk while she is entirely sober, and she laughs as you kiss her hungrily, muttering against your lips, "You are such an idiot, Regulus."
Serenade
Bellatrix's voice is by no means melodic, and Barty is being downright obnoxious, but the two of them singing you their own rendition of 'Happy Birthday' is one of the best sounds you've ever heard.
Sarcasm
Sometimes, Regulus could not tell if Bellatrix was being serious or not, and it felt foolish to ask.
Sordid
Your dorm mates could enter at any moment (Barty could enter at any moment), Bella does not have permission to be visiting, and there are no limits to the amount of trouble you could get in for this-- it is all very exhilarating, really.
Soliloquy
You lay awake sometimes, coming up with a speech of sorts for if (when) you two ever get caught; "She's just helping me with something," you mutter to yourself; "We're family and that is what family does, they help one another."
Sojourn
Bellatrix is at Grimmauld Place so often, it feels as if she belongs there, and Regulus sometimes forgets that her visits are temporary, that she actually belongs somewhere else entirely.
Share
You wake up in the night, shivering, and snuggle up to Bellatrix, who just mumbles and offers you more blanket.
Solitary
The best thing about being with Bellatrix like this is that, when it is all over, she will still be there, still be your older cousin, and she'll never leave you alone.
Nowhere
Bellatrix's house is out in the hills, far away from towns and neighbours and prying eyes-- it is the perfect place for secret meetings when her husband is away.
Neutral
You didn't quite agree with the 'cause' Bellatrix liked to tell you about all too often, but neither did you disagree; that made it easier to feign interest.
Nuance
Bellatrix has a small patch of skin, right below her hip, where her skin is a bit lighter; when you told her this she laughed and said nobody had noticed that before.
Near
Her warm breath runs across your neck, and you shiver as she sinks her teeth into you.
Natural
Regulus yawns and runs a hand through Bellatrix's messy, sleep ruffled hair.
Horizon
Bellatrix sneaks onto Hogwarts grounds some nights, long past curfew, and stays with Regulus until the sun begins to rise.
Valiant
Bellatrix is older than you, more experienced than you, so much more than you, yet when you're with her, she makes you feel like you measure up, like your efforts mean something to her.
Virtuous
No matter what you did with him, no matter how far beyond familial love the two of you went, you would always see Regulus as your baby cousin above all else.
Victory
Regulus has Bella pinned, laughing and twisting beneath him (who knew she was so ticklish?), and he feels what can only be described as gleeful.
Defeat
Bellatrix would hate him if she ever found out, he just knew it, but Regulus knew he couldn't continue on, couldn't keep on fighting, and plans to get out--at any cost-- began forming in his mind.
