Recipient: alley_skywalker
Author/Artist: ???
Title: Be Here Now
Rating: PG-13 (ish)
Pairings: Antonin/Narcissa, Antonin/Igor Karkaroff, Antonin/Bellatrix
Word Count: ~5700
Medium: Fic
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *Angst, unrequited love, character death*.
Summary: If Antonin has learned anything in his life, it is that trust is rarely deserved, and love does not follow reason.
Author's/Artist's Notes: I played a little loose with Antonin's canon, making his father a contemporary of Tom Riddle and Antonin himself a generation younger. I hope you like this, alley_skywalker! I loved writing it. So many thanks to my two speedy betas, E and S!

Title: Red Dreams
Rating: PG
Pairings: Antonin Dolohov/Filius Flitwick
Word Count:6,850
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View):  *[Character Death]*.
Summary: “...and with a burning pain in my heart I realized how unnecessary, how petty, and how deceptive all that had hindered us from loving was. I understood that when you love you must either, in your reasonings about that love, start from what is highest, from what is more important than happiness or unhappiness, sin or virtue in their accepted meaning, or you must not reason at all.”
― Anton Chekhov
Author's/Artist's Notes: I hope that this story pleases you, wwmrsweasleydo. When I finally found the right story to tell, it all seemed to fall into place. Thank you to L, my invaluable beta and dear friend, who never fails to improve anything she touches.
