Where does Bellatrix's love for the Cruciatus Curse stem from? Why does she continue to torture those around her? Spite... power... or merely pleasure? Submerge yourself in the mind of a lunatic who prides herself in perfecting the human condition.... (rated R, includes Bellatrix/Harry pairing, torture, and blood. Read at own risk)

Remus Lupin is alone, isolated by his curse. He has only his friends to to share his troubles with, but what if he had more than feelings for one of his friends? Low self confidence can be raised by those who love you. You just have to be strong enough to accept their help... (slash RL/SB, very short)
