Reviews for Twisted Truths
Debs1990 chapter 1 . 1/15/2016
This is different to the stories I usually read but I was drawn in by the unusual pairing. I really enjoyed reading it. You did a great job of showing just how crazy Bellatrix Lestrange is and I liked how Gideon seemed to get a kick out of angering her. I also liked the remorse he shows about having to use the crucio curse on her while making his escape. It is not often that I see stories of Bellatrix as a victim so this was very refreshing.

Spag: There are a couple of misspellings such as "attenssion" and "tratior"

Hey, Gideon doesn't rhyme with Galleon... although I suppose that was the point of having her say it (cause she crazy). Huh, is she implying she's going to skin him and make a dress out of it, or am I reading too much into things here?

Oh dear... Gideon is kind of funny, getting all turned on by making Bella angry at him.

Whoa, wait, so he actually fell in love with her WHILE he was Cruciatus-cursing her?

This is an odd pairing, and you've certainly managed to put a unique twist on it.

Wow, that was a pretty interesting take on Gideon. I imagine that there was a history between these two, and there was cockiness in Gideon which of course irked Bellatrix a lot. Toward the end it as it turned out, Gideon took the show, he was the one in control - and despite having the madness, Bella was actually scared.
The last line which he says is menacing, and very effective to end with too.
Overall, well done! :)

Interesting paring :)
One thing, I don't think that Gideon and Galleon really rhyme that much... but okay :)
But I'm surprised that he uses 'crucio', as a spell instead of 'stupefy' or something.
Other than that, great job! :)

Oh wow. This was a really interesting oneshot. I find Gideon's reactions toward her interesting, how he's so drawn/turned on by her, even her anger, how he turns the tables on her and tortures her, and then how sickened he is when he realises that she's afraid of him, afraid of the pain, of what's happening. And how he vows to hurt the people who have turned her into this. It's an interesting take, although I wish there weren't so many spelling errors? Still, well-done. :)

It's extremely rare for me to find a story with Gideon getting used, and it was very nice. You really captured Bella's personality, and Gideon sounds like a very interesting character in here... it seems like he has a thing for Bella, and Bella also sounded to feel a bit of the same in some moments. I actually wouldn't mind reading more of such a story. ;)

First of all, I didn't think I'd like this. Not sure why, but by the third paragraph you had already hooked me, so well done. I do like your writing style here - it was smooth and flowed very nicely, despite the structure issues (you should separate some pieces of dialogue, as when it's all bunched together like that between pieces of description, it gets jarring and hard to read. It also looks quite messy.) As for the rest of the fic, I think you managed to write Bellatrix rather well, which I found impressive, mainly because I'm always skeptical but anyway. And also, your characterization of Gideon was extremely interesting - I like how you didn't make him a carbon copy Fred and George, but gave him his own personality (and a rather good at one at that - his interaction with Bella amused me. Foolish of him to taunt her like that, but it worked out in the end.) I found the plot you formed here quite quite clever, and for a moment near the end, I thought Gideon was really going to die, but instead it was Bellatrix who was thwarted out. Overall, well done. I really enjoyed this.

At the beginning, I was immediately struck by the way you captured Bellatrix, and her manic, deceptive way of speaking, especially with the lines "Gideon rhymes with galleon. How much would I get if I exchanged you?"
I spotted a few typos/errors, such as "attenssion," which should be spelt "attention," but they're no big deal, really. Easily fixed.
The idea that Gideon went off to kill "them all" for Bellatrix was quite interesting, and so sad, given that in her madness, she wouldn't appreciate such a gesture at all.
Anyway, good work!

BellatrixGideon is a pairing I've never read before, but the idea is intriguing - they were close to the same age, after all, and Gideon was a pureblood as well. I really love the way you portrayed Bellatrix here; she's definitely in-character, and you've done a wonderful job capturing her insanity. She isn't an easy character to write, but you've pegged her pretty well, especially in the beginning. Your characterization of Gideon is interesting; since he has no canon personality, I can't say that he's in-character or not, but I will say that you made a pretty realistic personality for him. I'm not sure that an Order member would automatically think of the Cruciatus Curse as the first spell to use; I would have imagined that Gideon would have tried to Stun Bella first, but that's not really a big deal. There were several SPaG errors scattered throughout the piece; I don't want to pick them all out, but I would honestly suggest getting a beta, as it was a little awkward and difficult to read in places. Overall, though, I liked the plot of this; I've never read anything exactly like it, and I thought it was original and creative.
