Notes: For [community profile] theiceroyals March quote prompt, It was a room, a very disordered, dusty room. I went with the "dusty" portion. Self-challenge of quickfic, one hour, unedited. Getting my writing legs back under me. :D (And man, half the stuff I write for these two, I think I need a "genre: angst" tag. XD )

Title: At the End
Notes: For [community profile] theiceroyals October quote prompt. I intended a drabble and ended up with triple that!

Narcissa settled her fingers on Lucius' wrist. Beneath them, his pulse still beat. It was weak and slow, but it was there. Narcissa took a shuddering breath and bowed her head. "Oh, my love," she whispered. "I thought we'd have more time."

"As did I," said a cracking voice.

She jerked her head up and stared, wide-eyed and breathless, at her husband. "Lucius?"

He turned his hand under hers and clasped her fingers. "Cissa," he murmured, lashes fluttering as he struggled to open his eyes. "Dearest Cissa. Every day, I thought there would always be tomorrow. Even during the dark years, I expected...." He shook as he drew in a trembling breath.

Narcissa shushed him gently. "Do not tire yourself, Lucius. We still have--"

"No," he said. He looked up at her, his eyes bright with the violent fever racking him. "There is no more time. I have to tell you, before I no longer can."

Narcissa brought his hand to her lips, kissing his knuckles as tears stung her eyes.

Lucius brushed his thumb across her mouth. "My darling. I love you. Of the many things I have done in my life, the only one I count truly intelligent was marrying you. Thank you for bringing me such strength and joy." He tipped his head back into the pillow and slowly closed his eyes. "I regret," he whispered, "that I could not do the same for you."

Narcissa choked back a cry. She climbed onto the bed beside him and wrapped her arm over his chest, her head nestling into the dip of his shoulder. "Lucius, no. No regrets. I have never regretted our life together, because we have spent it together. I love you."

Lucius held her. "I will always have time to love you," he said quietly.

Title: Choice
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: G
Notes: For [community profile] theiceroyals September quote prompt. (And for August's prompt: Everything is a Choice.)

The message had arrived only a few minutes before, leaving her almost no time to ready themselves for the arrival of their unwelcome guests. Heart still pounding from the frantic rush to prepare, she stood in front of their home with a visibly reluctant Lucius.

Narcissa dug her fingers into her husband's arm, her nails piercing through his robes. "Calm," she whispered, lips barely moving from their serene smile. "Stay calm, Lucius."

His shoulders tensed; a muscle jumped in his jaw. He stroked his fingers through his hair, pulling at the ends in an unconscious nervous gesture. "Do you expect me to let this insult stand? To permit this ... invasion?"

Her smile tightened. Nostrils flaring as if she were about to exhale flames, she lifted her chin. "Is your pride still worth so much?" She stared down the drive between the tall hedges, eyes flicking past the white peacocks as they strutted in the deepening twilight. "You have a choice, Lucius," she hissed. "Is your pride worth more than your life? Is it worth more than our son?"

"You dare to--"

Black shadows formed on the long drive. A high laugh sent the peacocks into raucous flight.

"You are out of time, husband. Choose."

Lucius closed his eyes. He sucked in a sharp breath, then shook his arm free of hers. He stepped forward and gave a low, elegant bow to the pale figure before them. "Greetings, my Lord. My home is yours."

The Dark Lord smiled.

Notes: For [community profile] 100words prompt #52, Lost and for [community profile] theiceroyals July quote prompt. Narcissa and Draco visit Lucius after the war.

"He's the same man he's always been," Narcissa said quietly, her eyes locked on the door to the visiting room.

Draco sighed. "Not a comforting thought." He looked away as a guard opened the door and gestured them forward.

Narcissa took a deep breath. She settled her hand on Draco's shoulder. He tensed. "It's all right," she whispered. "He's still your father."

A muscle jumped in Draco's cheek. "I lost my father a long time ago."

After a long moment, she nodded. "Very well. You can wait for me." She stood and smoothed her robes. "I haven't lost my husband."

For the prompt: Find a heart that will love you at your worst and arms that will hug you at your weakest.

Lucius' pulse races under her trembling fingers. The tendons in his wrist are as hard as stone. Narcissa leans closer to him, her eyes never moving from the bunch of her robes over her knees. She presses their arms together. She breathes deep. Soon she can hear Lucius' breathing match her rhythm. His rapid pulse slows; his clenched fists relax. Narcissa closes her eyes in silent gratitude, then slips her arm around his waist. She rests her cheek on his shoulder, touches her forehead to his jaw. "We live," she whispers. "You. Me. Our son. Our family. We still live."
