Summary
James slid to the floor across from him. It came with the easiness of familiarity that rooted itself deep into the body. Memories locked in muscle. They’d sat like this countless of times; a stance reserved for drunken nonsense after a long night out, for confessions, for musings and fears, for pockets of comfortable silence, for nothing but the radio.
This was the James from back then—perpetually sun-soaked, worry-less James—who handed out his little mercies and bathed you in light.

Regulus leaves his parents at 17, finding shelter with Sirius at the Potters' home somewhere along the rocky shores of Devon. What follows are the good years, then the unspeakable ones, and then, inexplicably—like a roach, a true Black—Regulus comes out the other end alive.
He just doesn't expect to stumble into the easy solace of James Potter and his five-year-old son.

Summary
In 1978, Sirius Black almost becomes an Auror. Turns out even he can’t fake his way through the mental health assessment.
So what. He has better things to do: Remus Lupin is one. The war is another. He spends weeks at a time undercover for the Order while Polyjuiced to the gills. It’s probably his new favourite thing.
Little does Sirius know that running from himself will send him on a collision course with his ephemeral brother, but life is funny that way.

Summary
A small bell chimes, the sound soft and pleasant like the water crashing against a pier, like low whistles in an empty cave, like a guqin playing a lullaby.
