So, I've just updated my WIP again, after four months—ouch—and although I'm really not active in the HP fandom on LJ and thus have no expectations of feedback, I've decided it was time to try and throw the fic out there again, just in case people might get curious…
The story focuses on Narcissa Black's teenage years: the first part, Dustland Fairytale, mostly deals with her relationship with her sisters, and the second part Sentimental Hearts with the Lucius/Narcissa romance. But that would be a very rough summary, since there is also a lot on pureblood society, the various members of the Black family, Bellatrix's involvement with the Death Eaters and Andromeda's estrangement, a few OC's and so on and so forth. Plus Narcissa's very own struggle with her self-image as she thrives for perfection.
The entire version (well, what I have so far) can be found on fanfiction.net in two parts: Dustland Fairytale and Sentimental Hearts. The first installment is also posted on AO3. I'll finish posting the second part someday, when I'm less lazy.
Chapter one and chapter two have already been published here on LJ. Here comes chapter three, then.
