    Summary

    Sirius Black is entering his fifth year at Hogwarts, but something isn't right. After the prank, Sirius is sent on a downward spiral. With his home life worse than ever, his friends refusing to talk to him, and an overly nosy professor who continues pushing his boundaries, how will Sirius cope?

    Aka: My take on the prank but with even more angst if that's possible.

    Please read the trigger warnings before each chapter, this one is kind of heavy.

    Summary

    James: Good luck today, baby. You’re going to crush it. I believe in you.

    James: Please tell me you’re eating something, love? Don’t make me nag you.

     

    He stared at the screen, willing a reply. One minute passed, then two. Nothing.

     

    James’s jaw clenched. Not a good sign.

    Summary

    Regulus struggles in vain, his thin, seeker's build no match for James' strength. The lack of food has left him weakened, making it even harder to break free. He tries to protest, but his words come out in broken gasps, the grip on his throat tightening, causing him to claw desperately at his own neck as his vision begins to blur.

    Regulus' attempts to wriggle out of James' grasp are feeble, his strength diminishing with each passing moment.

    "Stay. the fuck. away. from. Sirius. " James warns through gritted teeth and squeezes Regulus's neck harder. As Regulus struggles he wonders if it's worth it, if it would really be so bad if he died right now, just like this. If Sirius would even miss him at all.

    Summary

    Regulus Black doesn't know why looking in the mirror is so hard - he's sure he doesn't see what everyone else sees. All he knows is that when he looks, he hates the little girl who stares back at him.

    ***

    The long account of a boy growing up trans in the wizarding world, in the 70's. There is love and light and colour and lack, thereof - there are things broken and then mended again, siblings lost and siblings found, and the most unexpected of friends.

    (Temp hiatus as author battles mental and chronic illness. Patience is appreciated <3 )

    Summary

    Night fell in Grimmauld Place like a thick black cloak. Looking at it, all looked still. But within, if you were watching closely, if you listened very carefully, you found that the fabric really covered very little. It was more the darkness you had to get through.

    Regulus was listening.

    THIS IS A LONG FIC WITH A LOT OF HEADCANON. We start before Sirius and Regulus are even in Hogwarts and I literally have plot planned through the war. We explore characters in depth. You're going to hate and love (but mostly love) every single character in the fic by the end if I've done my job correctly. Well. Except for a few of them. We don't play apologetics for child abuse here. If you like it, please tell me. If you don't, please write your opinion down on a piece of paper, then burn it :)

    I love this so much I’ve started counting the TW’s so that I can maths some things out
