Inky Boundaries (to a tortured soul) by Lorielen
04/27/2003After his Lord's downfall, Lucius Malfoy isn't just shaken. When a certain Diary finds its way to his hands, we have a Lord Voldemort-starved Malfoy who thinks he has very little to lose and a projection of 16-year-old Tom Riddle. Diary Riddle wants to find out more about this man who had dazzled his future self. As he walks through the maze of Lucius, he finds himself becoming increasingly attached to the Malfoy and deeply in love with him. Also Lucius is affected by closeness he had never even dreamed of having with his (secretly) beloved Dark Lord. The pale reflex of what he could have had with Voldemort tortures him, but he finds himself incapable of putting the Diary away, like he had never been able to unravel himself from that love.
