★★★★☆

Dobby and Mippy will forever hold my heart ♥️ Also, if this story was solely just then during their Hogwarts year it would have absolutely been a 5 star read

“Stop it. I can't breathe when you stand so close to me.”
“And I can't when you're far from me.”

Birth Right is a compelling and emotionally charged Lucissa short fanfiction that dives into themes of identity, family legacy, and redemption. Known for her thoughtful character development and engaging storytelling, LovesBitca8 crafts a narrative that blends elements of drama, romance, and introspection. I just wish it was was longer, way longer. Birth Right was a big surprise for me. I never imagined until a month ago that I'd be reading a Lucissa fanfic, but here I am clamoring for more.

Narcissa Black was portrayed so well, a cultured, classy woman who knows her worth and who has an admirable strength of thought and presence, in addition to her surreal beauty. It's no wonder that she attracted Lucius Malfoy from the first moment they met. They clash so beautifully that I loved reading their relationship develop, from their first meeting at Hogwarts to the clash between them when Lucius is in Azkaban (the moment in which The Right Thing To Do takes place). The two complement each other and know each other so, so well, it's very satisfying to see them interact. I felt this from the beginning of the series, when I was looking for crumbs of Lucissa wherever I could in the other fics.

Aside from the main characters, I believe that Bellatrix was also very well portrayed, her ambitions, relationships and the disdain she felt for those who thought differently from her. Her past with Lucius and her constant duality in relation to Narcissa were very interesting and well written. She defends and protects her sister, but also condemns her for several reasons. It's nice to see this side of her, which we also see a little in The Auction (I'm still reading it, but I've seen some scenes of it being portrayed). In addition, the rest of the Black and Malfoy families were also interesting to get to know. Another highlight for me was how Lucius and Narcissa dealt with their pregnancy issues, how they were there for each other but at the same time suffered so much being together while dealing with this heartbreaking problem. I can understand much better why they're so worried about Draco and why they put so many expectations and want to keep him safe no matter what. I'd have loved to have seen more of their family's interactions.

Lucius traced his son's fingertips. Find the things that make you happy, Lucius thought, and I will get them for you. Until the day I die.

Finally, I loved LovesBitca8's writing and was very happy to read and enjoy this short story. I didn't give it 5 stars because it could have been more developed and with more scenes. The way it was done ended up feeling rushed. I know that was the writer's intention, but I'm expressing my sadness and hope for more here. I'd love to see more of Lucius and Narcissa at Hogwarts and also of their future after Lucius leaves Askaban. I'd like to see them in a second chance romance, with Lucius groveling a lot. So, I think I need to go look for more fanfics about the two of them. I found a new favorite pairing.

Lucissa fan fic - a shorty, with only 6 chapters.

Another Kati BR 🫶

This book actually goes with book 1 and 2 of the rights and wrongs series (I have not read these and don’t intend to). It is a different world to the third book, The Auction, which we finished recently.

This was ok. Not bad, not great 😌
A lot of time jumps, which I didn’t love tbh. But it was wild reading about an arranged marriage between Lucius and Bellatrix! Also the Black family’s young sisterly love was a little fun.

All in all, I’m just not really a fan of the pining over the future sister/brother-in-law situation. 🤷‍♀️

Give me enemies-to-lovers angst any day over this.

Dramione’s are where it’s at for me 😅

3⭐️
0.5 🌶️ (disappointing! Haha!)

5⭐️ the perfect end to this series UGHHH my heart

I was NOT expecting the Lucius/Narcissa backstory to hit this hard??? and every little detail and callback to the rest of the series is just 😭😭😭😭🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

the way Lucius and Narcissa love Draco is just 🥹

“you deserve the best of all things” 😩 someone sedate me

[Mia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I avoided this because I didn't think it was necessary.. JOKES ON ME. I FCKING LOVED IT. I didn't realize how much I needed this ship in my life 😭💖

[Julotlinde · Rating 3 out of 5]

Loved reading a bit more about Lucius and Narcissa, but unfortunately, this wasn’t as great as I hoped.

Some parts of this little read were great. I really love Lucius and Narcissa, I think they are just great, so it was lovely to read more about them. However, this fic was so confusing with the time jumps. I sometimes did not know whether we were in the past or present. Also, I feel like this could have been more, but that's okay. It was just fun to read, but I had hope for more.

[Kate ✨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a perfect wrap up to the Rights and Wrongs series 🥹 I loved getting some backstory on Lucius and Narcissa’s love story and all the parallels it had with Draco and Hermione ❤️😭

[Lucia · Rating 4 out of 5]

My only complaint is that I wanted more and it was too short!

[Raya · Rating 5 out of 5]

If I could give this 6 stars I would. I needed this book. I really did. I actually cried reading the last 10 pages. I love Lucius and Narcissa. Lucius is a simp. He’s down bad for his wife. I’m obsessed. He loves her so much and then Draco is born???? And the love he has for his son?????? I’m unwell.

3 STARS

Not quite what I was expecting, from the blurb and tags I thought I was getting a story that explored Lucius and Narcissa's struggles with infertility but I guess I must've misunderstood something along the way.

It was okay I guess? A bit confusing cuz the narrative isn't linear and skips all over the place. I wish we could've seen more of Lucius and Narcissa's love story but I understand this is an unfinished project, which is likely to never be completed.

Though I will say it definitely works great as a complement to the author's other works in the series, it fleshes out the story that was kind of hinted at in them.

Nonetheless, I'm definitely intrigued in reading more about these two, I like them a lot as a couple.

[Anastasia · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a nice addition to the main story. Flushes out Lucius and Narcissa a bit more, which is nice.

I was a little uncomfortable in the beginning due to their young age (same problem I had with Draco's POV), but once they got older, I got more into it.

Can't say it's a must. But if you have a little time and wanna learn more about Malfoys and Blacks, it's worth it.

a high 3.5/5

lowkey ship lucissa which is weird because i don’t like how lucius acts in the more present times

one day read but it was only 5 chapters. lovesbitca8 says there is supposed to be 6 but it hasn’t been updated since last may🤷🏻‍♀️

i love narcissa so much.

a cute little spin off:)

[Ash · Rating 5 out of 5]

Now I need more of Lucius and Narcissa! I don’t think one more chapter will be enough.

[Astoria · Rating 5 out of 5]

I believe this is not finished yet, but it has been so good so far.

[Judith Holley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Is it weird that I also love bellatrix like a whole bunch too?

[Jackie L · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wasn’t finish with the Right and Wrongs series; so I was excited to find this on AO3. You only get snippets of Lucius and Narcissa in The Auction and The Right Thing To Do & All The Wrong Things, so I was thrilled there is a novella just about them. We get present day (TRTTD/ATWT universe) and flashbacks to their formative years. Lucius and Narcissa’s love for Draco runs deep!

ETL Echo/ Beatificbean narrated the podfic. As like before, very well done. Though I wish Beatificbean’s male voices were more masculine. Would still listen again.

[Asha Ward]

My first Lucissa fic! Had to read it because I love this series so much.
And Dobby 🥺🥺

[Kati *☆･ﾟ · Rating 3 out of 5]

yeah, as expected this was not made for the fans of The Auction. —and sadly, it also wasn’t as thrilling as I had hoped.

[Georgia · Rating 5 out of 5]

That was cripplingly romantic.

Once again leading on from TRTTD and The Auction this this “It’s a real testament to the author to be able to have two books with opposite out comes / plot lines on the same timeline, and have such strong narrative mirroring. I was ‘highlighting’ my little heart out at the simplest of connections.” So many little subtleties and added reasoning behind characters decisions whilst cementing motives.

[Ash Lucas · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would love a full telling of Lucissa, this was good but I want more

[Amanda Arner Mukhar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ugh my biggest issue is I just wanted more!

[Luroka · Rating 4 out of 5]

Des joues coulent sur mes larmes. That last chapter WRECKED me.
Bella coming to see Narcissa because she was worried was so unexpected but I am so glad that we could see how complicated their bond was. That among the differences there was still a bit of love remaining... Bella's death by Draco in The Auction kind of hurts a little bit more when you get the whole story...
And Lucius... I love when characters are just so in love with someone and only that someone... But him saying to baby Draco that he would do anything for him...

Non pensavo che potesse piacermi una ff su Narcissa e Lucius.
Non mi sono mai piaciuti molto come coppia e devo dire che li ho sempre visti come forzati a volte ma devo dire che in questa versione fanon li ho apprezzati parecchio.
Mi sono sembrati molto dolci e la loro relazione è semplice ma trasmette il proprio amore.
Per questo devo dire che anche questa volta l'autrice è stata bravissima.
Consigliato? Si
