Sometimes it hurts to even look at them. It's like looking at the sun - they are great, powerful and it feels like their presence is essential to keeping her alive. They burn so brightly, an eternal, glorious blaze that she wants to bask in forever...
'It hurt to even look at them. It was like looking at the sun - they were great and powerful and essential to her in every conceivable way, but that didn't numb the pain in the slightest.
A story in which Briar Selwyn slowly falls in love with Bellatrix Black, and subsequently becomes tangled in Tom Riddle's web. There's a looming darkness on the horizon, and she finds herself drawn to it in the same way a muggle may watch a car crash. It's a horrific and deadly event, but we humans have an innate desire to watch blood run through the streets.'
