Before the Last Petal Falls by mendacium_dulce (lux_veritatis) for lovesynlikeasin

Summary
The folk wisdom pertaining to the depth of still waters was by no means inaccurate in itself, for there were indeed those whose calm politeness and perceived adherence to any rules were but a means of concealing a vibrant personality and a sharp wit, yet Druella Black was of the opinion that not all bodies of water that, at a first glance, appeared to be mere mountain streams – torrential, yet dreadfully shallow – ought to be examined and judged in a superficial sense alone.
It was, after all, a fatal act of negligence to expose one’s back to a knife one failed to recognize as such.

Summary
“Don't go near the western forest after the sun has set,” any child born to the town would still be told until mere decades before. “If you do not heed our warning, we’ll be left without even a body for us to bury and mourn.”
However, that had been before the townspeople’s natural fear of the unknown made way for arrogance and hubris, for the fatal delusion that the forces of nature could ever be conquered or consigned to the realms of fantasy.

Summary
"Intent and control were the key factors to mastering his spell, Gellert had explained with his usual patience when Vinda had asked about the advanced spell Gellert himself had invented. It wasn’t enough to simply perform the right wand movements and say the right incantation when the spell was a manifestation of the caster’s will itself."
Gellert teaches Vinda his Protego Diabolica spell; with a link to a gorgeous piece of fanart drawn by the amazingly talented Klaus Wanderer (https://the-mr-lolipop-things.tumblr.com/)

Summary
When Tom returned to their flat after a long work day at Borgin and Burkes, Nagini was already waiting for him with home-cooked dinner. Her genuine smile as she gazed at him with unconcealed adoration truly was a sight for sore eyes, and when he embraced and greeted her with a tender kiss, Tom was pleased by how pliant she was in his arms; the wistful sigh that escaped her lips as he pulled back, too, was like music to his ears.

However, when he is suddenly stranded in the 1940s and meets a young Voldemort, who appears to have taken a liking to them from his childhood, he not only begins to question his stance on fairy tales, but also on Tom Marvolo Riddle himself.

Summary
Before she had met Tom, Nagini had always disliked winter, had disliked it for the increased number of shows in which she had been forced to perform, for the way her revealing attire had done nothing to protect her from the cold, and the contrast between the exuberant joy in the eyes of the members of the audience and what she herself had felt couldn't have been starker.
