WARNING: EXPLICIT 18+ SMUT SCENES! (+ depictions of consensual sex, non con sex, violence, crude language, mature themes, etc...)

Some flames destroy. Others teach you how to burn. Calista Warrington has never belonged anywhere - not in the Muggle world she was raised in, not in the Slytherin common room, and certainly not in her own skin. She's built her life around keeping people out and keeping herself alive. But falling in love with George Weasley changes everything. Their connection is immediate, reckless, and real. Something neither of them were ready for in a world already breaking apart. As the Second Wizarding War brews, Calista's relationship with George becomes both her greatest strength and her deepest vulnerability. Together they face grief, family secrets, and the slow realization that her bloodline ties her to everything she fears. **Takes place starting in Prisoner of Azkaban all the way until post-Deathly Hallows** Prisoner of Azkaban - completed Goblet of Fire - completed Order of the Phoenix - completed Half Blood Prince - currently writing Deathly Hallows - tbd Post Deathly Hallows -tbd Ao3 tags: - angst - fluff -smut - protective/possessive George Weasley -past abuse -dark past -soulmates -infidelity -rough sex -threats of non-con -non-con -hurt/comfort -misunderstandings -angst with a happy ending -Fred Weasley lives

irrevocably (adv): in a way that cannot be changed, reversed, or recovered. *** My twin is destined to die at the hand of Voldemort. I have been promised the same fate. And not because I was chosen in the way Harry was. But I was marked for death all the same. That's the price you pay for spearheading a rebellion, I suppose. Death is only death-an inevitability. Death is nothing to dread. Death is nothing to fear. But after loving George Weasley, I'm desperate to defy the inescapable, to withstand this war. I don't fear dying, I fear leaving George behind when I go. [November 2020-December 2020] [[Rewrite/Revise as of July 2023]]
