Oh, what a lovely little one-shot. A perfect explanation for Bella's characterization in canon and how out of all the dark-haired, grey-eyed Blacks - here comes a blonde haired, blue-eyed Narcissa. Definitely more interesting of an explanation than just having a Rosier for a mother. ;) Enjoyed this thoroughly!

Oh...fuck...*blinks once, twice, several times over* Well that certainly didn't go the way I thought it would

Fortunately, retired means retired.

"The mirror murmured some consoling words about how Narcissa was perfectly beautiful for a daughter of the House of Black, which Bella could see didn't console Narcissa at all." If course the mirror isn't helping - being beautiful fir a Black is not enough.
I love that Bella dismissed the book.
I love that Narcissa's quest to become blond terryfies Bella a little.
It seems Bellatrix had all the reasons to be frightened.
Narcissa had no idea what forces was she playing with...

Very interesting, I liked it!

That was sad...

Jesus. This is so fucking dark. It was beautiful, and I want to see along fic where Narcissa comes to regret her decision because the same sacrifice ends up reaching out to take something form her beloved son.

Narcissa is despicable.

Lol cute, I feel for Bella and Cissy should be fed to sharks.
Thank you,

Wow. Narcissa ruined the lives of thousands for vanity. She was so awful she even made Druella angry! Amazing story! Narcissa really lives up to her name, narcissistic and a Black.
