1. Chapter 1

A/N: Everything in this collection is for the beautiful, talented, amazing Paula. I love you, wifey. Always. Happy birthday, my love.

Breathe in your hate, my love. You know you are so beautiful when hellfire and wrath war with the tender twinkle in your blue eyes.

Don't be quiet. Don't be timid. Oh, I know you, Albus, more than you know.

You are so beautiful when you're hating, when you let your mask of peace and tranquility shatter at your feet.

Give in to the monster, my love. Justify it howeve you'd like with your reasons upon reasons. As long as you let the beast within twist you into knots until you are something you can no longer recognize in the mirror.

Let the darkness take you over, dear Albus. I know you want to every time I mention your sister and how they've left her broken. I know you want to let all those demons win, want to give in.

Let them win, my love. For my soul is damned, and damnation would be so lonely without you.
