You want so badly to be pure again and you can call yourself a doll, a lamb, an innocent little thing. But the colour pink doesn't wash away sin, and pomegranates don't make you any less scared of a god.

Aspiring surgeon Brindha Khare is having a terrible year, and it's all goddamn Steve Harrington's fault. If it wasn't for his stupid hair, her best friend Nancy probably wouldn't be so disgustingly infatuated with him, which means she wouldn't be ditching Brindha with her kid brother and his kid friends to go make out with Steve Harrington, and they wouldn't be currently embroiled in a friendship-ending cold war with Barb caught in the middle. It's simple transitive property: for someone who can't even be bothered to remember her name, Steve Harrington is doing a great job of ruining her life. But everything changes in an instant when Mike Wheeler's friend Will goes missing a day before Barb does. Brindha will do anything to help find them . . . even if that means purposely putting herself within twenty yards of Steve Harrington. (SLOWBURN, SEASONS 1-5)

❖ 1945 to 1950 ❖ When Tom Riddle retreated into darkened alleys, the wizarding world breathed a sigh of relief. He had left behind a trail of bloody footprints, yes, but no ruin had been left in his wake. And yet... a shadow lingered. He was silent, yes, but a chill had been left in his place. Shadows curled in the corners of the towns and in the minds of anyone who dared wonder what had happened to him. Those who had left behind waited for the signs of his true return... both with bated breath and enchanted locks. After all, The Dark Lord was not done with the world that had shown him what true power was. He simply needed to... perfect himself. He watched the world go by with a too clever mind, seeking what would make him stronger. As he lurked on the edges, he found three others who were doing the same. A surprise to them all, certainly... but not an entirely unwelcome one. One, a prisoner. Another, a murderer. The last, a legacy. They all sought destruction. Perhaps for power, perhaps for violence... it did not matter. Tom fed on it and drew them all together. They were his followers. His... friends. Friends that promised each other freedom and revenge. But secrets and lies laid beneath them all... and it was only a matter of time before their loyalty would rot away to nothing.

" MORIOR INVICTUS. " ⠀━━━ ⠀ they called lenore ceirin a cursed flame; one that will devour the noble house of ceirin into a heap of ash and bone. in her bitter youth, her mother had always spoken of tales of glory; how it was so painfully constructed yet so easily dismantled. and as society's glory cracks and pillars fall, lenore soon discovers a biting truth. that even the most artful and vicious have the dirt of their graves wedged under their nails.
