Arkady
A Lexicon of Serpents by Arkady
07/08/2004Hogwarts, 1943. A tale of two sixth-years, their attempts to deal with unreasonable emotions, and their equally unreasonable relationship. Chess, Quidditch, enchanted trousers, best friends, fellow prefects, slumbering professors, tragic pasts, and dangerous futures set the scene. Or, Tom Riddle and Alastor Moody do the Gryff/Slyth thing. Slash.
So Sayeth Death by Arkady
02/06/2003In one of the far-flung reaches of the wizarding world, where blood is old and Muggles are distant and customs that date from before the Founders are still observed, a young pilgrim comes to a temple to meditate upon what he strives to conquer: death.
A little boy named Tom, the snakes he talks to, the grass of remembrance, and the pain of a changeling. Before Hogwarts, before wands and books and spells, before he had anything, there was just the orphanage playground and the grass snakes that hunted through the weeds.
When an awkward boy wants to be a prefect, what can he do but ask help from the best and brightest? A moment in the life of Cornelius Fudge, the moment he decides to visit Tom Riddle. Counsel given in a most Slytherin manner. Slash.
'Go east, young man,' says Dumbledore. 'Come back broken, young man,' says Voldemort. 'Drat,' says Quirrell. A brief study of the most-neglected DADA teacher, the ghost that haunts him, and the blood of a unicorn.
