    Summary

    There’s a panic within him that Lestat hasn’t felt for years when the sunlight streams in a perfect circle containing Claudia and Louis’s fledgling, a panic he hasn’t felt since the night he felt tainted blood rise to his throat and the love of his life drag a knife across it. It’s the panic of an ending unexpected, of a rug yanked from beneath him. He made his choice. He chose Louis. He knew if it came down to using his abilities to sway the audience, he only had the power for one. It wasn’t even something he had to think about. It was Louis. It was always going to be Louis.

    But it’s Claudia before him now, looking back at him with a daughter’s eyes even as her face begins to crumble into ash.

    Summary

    "Baby Black, do you maybe not hate me?" James joked in a way that made Regulus feel uncomfortable.
    "You are the most annoying person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. And that says a lot considering the absolute gems I've met in Slytherin."
    "A joke. Regulus Black made a joke. A mean one, at my expense, but a joke nonetheless... You know baby Black, we could be friends."
    "I would rather fling myself off the Astronomy Tower..."

    ***
    Or: Regulus is concerned about Sirius after their mother orchestrates a horrible attack. And with Sirius out of reach he relies on James Potter to know his brother is okay. Except their meetings keep happening, and their conversations keep falling away from Sirius. Falling for James Potter might just be the most reckless thing he's ever contemplated.

    Summary

    She doesn’t quite know what to do with the way that Alice is looking at her. Like she’s something sacred, something inescapable, one of the old gods that slumber in the centre of the earth—Alice’s eyes are their own kind of hunger, the ache of an empty belly, the dark comfort of dreaming and the soft light of coming awake.

    “Your life is your own, Narcissa,” she says.

    And oh, how badly Narcissa wishes that were true.

    Summary

    In the cave, Regulus doesn’t beg for it to stop. He begs not be left behind, alone.

    Perhaps this is why, when Kreacher gives one last look over his shoulder and sees terrible, pale hands reaching for his master, he appears in a flash at Regulus’ side, clutches him by the elbow, and Apparates them both out of the cave, directly disobeying his master’s last order.
