    Summary

    In 1981, the war ended with Voldemort’s death. Thirteen years later, Regulus still lives in the shadow of his parents’ contribution to the cause. No matter how hard he works or how much he accomplishes, he can’t escape the weight of his family name.

    With the biggest project of his career now in front of him, Regulus leaves London to pose as a Healer on the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary. The only hiccup is a variable he never could’ve accounted for: James Potter, whose presence disrupts Regulus’ plans and forces him to reconsider everything he thought he knew.

    Summary

    Regulus Black survived the Cave at eighteen, only to be sent to Azkaban a few months short of nineteen.

    The war was fought. Won. A Dark Lord destroyed. Death Eaters locked into Azkaban never to be seen again.

    Now, as part of the Ministry's Reintegration Programme, Regulus and other disgraced faces are released under strict supervision, forced to confront a past he’s never been ready to face.

    His new reality: a cold, impersonal facility, under the watchful eye of none other than James Potter, who’s reluctantly tasked with his rehabilitation. Potter’s presence stirs something in Regulus — something unsettling.

    or: What if nothing is as it seems, Lily has to uncover the minds of deranged people, James is touch starved, and Sirius is mysteriously obsessed with redeeming his brother?

    Summary

    Draco’s voice shook. “You don’t know what it’s like to have you. No one knows what it’s like to lose you.” A sob fled from him. “Please don’t make me be the first.”
    Harry’s face crumpled, looking away, and Draco knew then it was over.
    “It’s my past, it must be. I asked before and you said –”
    “I have forgiven you –”
    “I am a person!” Then quieter, “A person; not just something to be forgiven.”

    ~

    With his family’s name and misdeeds laying heavily upon him, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts for a torturous eighth year. He finds himself unrequitedly in love with Harry Potter and at odds with everyone around him, even the bricks. While navigating the post-war world, he is forced to decide both who he is and what he wants.

    Summary

    After learning he was dying, James Potter planned his funeral the only way he knew how. A mix of mischief, chaos, and truly terrible singing. As Sirius, Remus and Peter return to their hometown to say goodbye, they find themselves swept into a journey of James’s carefully crafted memories.
    For Harry, it’s a chance to see his father through the eyes of those who loved him just as fiercely. For Lily, it’s a lesson in how grief and forgiveness can intertwine. And for Remus and Sirius, the funeral brings them back to where they first began dancing around one another.
