1. Hello

Voldemort knew the very moment he was screwed: when his eyes locked with Quirrell's, and the graveyard and his Death Eaters disappeared, and Quirrell just beamed at him as they greeted each other for the first time.

2. Injury

"It's just a scratch, you're not dying," Quirrell promised, trying not to snicker, as Voldemort swore up and down that the cat scratches would be the death of him.

3. Recipient

As much as Voldemort liked receiving pleasure, he loved the way Quirrell's eyes rolled and the strangled gasps as he tried to contain his voice when Voldemort touched him just so.

4. Stereotype

One might believe that Voldemort, whose reputation preceded him, had the horrid temper, but he would claim otherwise; the former Dark Lord knew better than anyone not to get on the bad side of his partner, whose gentle smiles and love for flowers did not necessarily mean that he did not possess thorns of his own.

5. Initialization

At the start of their relationship, nothing would turn Voldemort on more than when his shy Squirrel, teeth sinking into his lower lip and cheeks flushed, would press against him and fumble over the buttons of his shirt.

6. Ambiguity

Quirrell didn't want to question what exactly it was the two of them had and started dreading the day that Voldemort try to define it.

7. Class

"Stupid first years," Voldemort grumbled underneath the stuffy turban as he suffered through one of Quirrell's horrendous classes, while the stuttering professor tried his best not to snicker.

8. Breathing

Gasps filled their room as they fell to the bed, all tangled limbs and body fluids and Wizard God, do that again.

9. Saving

Quirrell swore that even the Dark Lord could be redeemed, and he didn't rest until Voldemort understood that as well.

10. Monster

Voldemort spend his whole life trying to be menacing and terrifying, to make a name for himself as the Dark Lord, but it wasn't until he saw the expression on Quirrell's face as he was dragged off to Azkaban that Voldemort first hated what he was.

11. Key

"We could just use our wands to get in, Voldemort," Quirrell sighed, shamelessly amused as Voldemort dug around in his pocket; "No, Quirrell, we will do this the Muggle way, now help me find the spare!"

12. Fighting

In every battle he'd ever been in, the stakes were never as high as when Voldemort and Quirrell went at it; in a war of love, even the simplest disagreements could result in a farewell, and Voldemort would sooner admit defeat than risk losing his Squirrel.

13. Pressing

Sandwiched between the bookcase and Voldemort's insistent body, Quirrell decided to give the library a whole new meaning; "let's see how quiet you can be," he dared with a roll of his hips and a devilish grin.

14. Indication

Any doubt and fears were erased when Quirrell finally grasped the significance of Voldemort's extended touches and lingering hugs.

15. Invisible

Quirrell had been invisible for all his life, always hidden in his books and daydreaming about how he would spend his life; one can imagine his surprise when the first person to finally see him was a parasite with ulterior motives.

16. Enough

"Why would I need to rule the world when I have you," Voldemort murmured against Quirrell's brow, coming to terms with his own words even as he spoke them.

17. Lovely

Voldemort grumbled about Quirrell's flowers up to the day when the latter revealed his garden; seeing Quirrell's smiling face, he finally understood the meaning of the word beautiful.

18. Discard

No words could describe how Quirrell felt, curled up in his Azkaban cell and crying over being thrown away by the only person he cared about; the Dementors never had to lift a finger.

19. Paradise

The first time they made love, all awkward and nervous laughs, Voldemort knew he'd found heaven on earth; each time after that only reaffirmed the idea.

20. Patient

"Everything has its place," Voldemort muttered through gritted teeth as Quirrell, distracted by his book, stretched his legs over a pile of clothes he'd forgotten to fold.

21. Servant

Soon after his plans were in place, Voldemort forgot that Quirrell was supposed to be his peon and started seeing the nervous man as something much more.

22. Extension

They were a part of each other, despite no longer being attached, and the two sometimes forgot where one of them ended and the other began.

23. Disaster

Voldemort's greatest mistake was letting Quirrell get sent to Azkaban; he realized this too late, when victory didn't taste as sweet as it should have, and would have had Quirrell been with him.

24. Normal

Quirrell loved watching Voldemort's failing attempts at a Muggle life; it wasn't until he flooded the house trying to fix the toilet that Quirrell figured it was time to break the wands back out.

25. Drama

Voldemort would deny it, but he never missed an episode of Doctor Sexy, MD; Wizard God help poor Quirrell if he accidentally interrupted.

26. Movie

She's All That, they decided, was a much better film when they could watch it hand-in-hand instead of back-to-back.

27. Insertion

"Are you okay," Voldemort asked, breathless and husky; "Wonderful," Quirrell purred, urging his lover on with a thrust of his hips.

28. Laziness

Voldemort never wanted to get up in the morning, not when his limbs were all heavy and his eyes just couldn't stay open; Quirrell learned the easiest way to get him out of bed was with a strong cup of coffee and the promise of breakfast.

29. Score

"Ten points to Quirrell," he awarded when he, at last, managed to render Voldemort speechless.

30. Willing

They never cared who topped and who bottomed when they tumbled into bed; Voldemort, in fact, liked it when Quirrell took initiative and fucked him senseless every now and then.

31. Shirt

Voldemort would never admit it (and he would sneer and hiss if one were to ask) but he secretly enjoyed it when Quirrell left his clothes lying around sometimes; he would breath in the crisp smell of cotton mixed with flowers and parchment and fall for his partner all over again.

32. Close

They slept backs pressed together, arms wrapped around each other, it didn't matter to them—as long as the space between them was as scarce as possible.

33. Schedule

Voldemort tried not to think about how things were going according to plan because having his own body back meant separation from Quirrell, and was Potter even worth it anymore?

34. Practice

He didn't care how much Quirrell urged him on, Voldemort would never get the hang of rollerblading.

35. Assured

"I forgive you, Voldemort," Quirrell promised soothingly, as sincere as he'd been the last few times they had this conversation, with the hope that Voldemort might believe him one day.

36. Departure

Quirrell tried to keep his head high as they dragged him from the graveyard, and he didn't look back; if he had, he would have seen a tormented Voldemort watching him leave, and he might have fought just a little harder to get back to his Dark Lord's side.

37. Knocking

They tried to sleep apart their first night with their own bodies; not long into the night, Quirrell opened up his door to Voldemort, and they never tried to sleep separately again.

38. Seriousness

"We can't pass out those," Voldemort deadpanned the moment he saw what Quirrell wanted to buy for Halloween; he tossed the bag of Snickers onto the shelf, and they never spoke of it again.

39. Music

Quirrell didn't understand why Voldemort insisted on having a radio until he came home one night to find his lover dancing around the kitchen with the mop.

40. Appreciation

"I never thanked you for letting me come home," Voldemort started, but Quirrell silenced him with a sweet kiss and replied, "I never thanked you for coming home."

41. Gravitation

Voldemort and Quirrell never realized it, but every hasty decision, every careful plan, all existed to bring them one step closer to each other.

42. Waking

Voldemort hated when Quirrell got up before him, and sometimes, just to be an ass about it, he would wrap his arms around Quirrell's waist and drag him back into the mattress with him.

43. Protest

"Don't you dare," Quirrell gasped, trying to tend to his flowers, but Voldemort's hand under his waistband and tongue at his neck soon had him begging "don't you dare stop."

44. Halloween

"So who will I be if you're Boba Fett," Quirrell humored until Voldemort produced the skimpy costume and, smirking, suggested, "Slave Leia."

45. Confidence

Every shred of assurance left him the moment Quirrell's brow furrowed in confusion and curiosity, but he wasn't backing out now; so he dropped to one knee and presented the box, only releasing the breath he held when he saw Quirrell's priceless smile.

46. Kicking

The bedroom door just wouldn't open and Quirrell's hands were everywhere, so Voldemort used his foot before they both ended up tumbling down the stairs.

47. Admission

"I love you," Voldemort whispered into Quirrell's hair as his soulmate slept; "I know," Quirrell mumbled and sleepily held him tighter.

48. Fire

"Fuck," he groaned when warm, frenzied kisses and blazing touches finally ended with him fully seated in his partner, the hot breath on his neck as dizzying as the heat he pressed into.

49. Depression

"It's over," Voldemort despaired when Quirrell questioned his moping; after a little more prodding, he finally added, "Doctor Sexy, MD is over!"

50. Separate

They both thought that they would miss being attached, but they were wrong, for the things they could do with two different bodies far outweighed Voldemort being stuck to the back of Quirrell's head.
