Summary
“Regulus,” Sirius finally said, once he trusted he had his own voice under control, “has never once let me help him, even before I was a filthy blood-traitor. Why the fuck do you think I’d be able to save him now?”
Tomorrow night. Kreacher’s words throbbed inside his head. Regulus will die tomorrow night.
Sirius definitely wasn’t going to be getting any sleep at all this week.
Sirius thought he had cut all ties with his family, but when Kreacher shows up in his bedroom with a dire warning, he's hardly able to let his idiot little brother die. And when he learns about the Horcrux his brother was chasing, he's hardly about to let him take on Voldemort alone.
But getting tangled up in the House of Black again is not the best way to prove his innocence among an already-suspicious Order. Sirius has to walk a fine line if he wants to keep everyone he loves alive.
(This series is in chronological order but does not need to be read in that order. NO other stories in this series are required reading, but all are suggested to flesh out the backstory.)

Summary
March 1984. Walburga Black sits alone in Grimmauld Place, accompanied only by her ghosts, a broken woman with little left to live for. The House of Black lays in ruins, it's members scattered, awaiting its inevitable demise. Until, one day, a Ministry owl comes tapping at her window, bearing news that offers a last chance to change the course of her life - and the fate of the Black family.
Seizing the opportunity to free her son from Azkaban and secure him the trial he was denied, Walburga quickly finds out that three years in prison has done little to quell Sirius Black's rebellious spirit, and it is soon clear that he is not going to simply follow the plans she has so carefully laid out for him.
As the impending trial approaches, both Sirius and Walburga must grapple with their broken relationship and stormy past - and Sirius himself must decide whether he will seize the chance of the freedom offered to him, or whether he will send himself back to Azkaban for the punishment he is so convinced he deserves...
My take on the "Walburga gets Sirius out of Azkaban" scenario.

Summary
Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts knowing exactly where he belongs now. No uncertainty, no hesitation—when the Sorting Hat touches his head for the second time, green and silver will claim him without question.
But knowing his House is far easier than surviving it.
With old reputations shattered and new ones still fragile, Harry steps into a castle full of heirs who have been raised for this world since birth. There are political bargains in every corridor, tension at every table, and far more flirting than Harry knows what to do with. In Hogwarts, every conversation means something—and every mistake costs.
Determined never again to be powerless, Harry throws himself into everything at once: fourteen O.W.L. subjects, the slow climb through pureblood politics, and the dangerous art of becoming someone the wizarding world cannot ignore.
After all, balancing academic excellence, political manoeuvring, House rivalries, and his own increasingly complicated heart should be perfectly manageable.
What could go wrong?

Summary
Fred here. If you are reading this, congratulations on either excellent taste or criminal behaviour. This is the documented history of how my twin brother and I accidentally acquired a small feral celebrity, discovered he had been living on spite and crumbs, and responded in the only reasonable manner: emotional attachment, light surveillance, and increasingly reckless loyalty. There will be schemes, deeply intelligent observations (mine), poor decisions (usually also mine), and the ongoing mystery of why adults keep failing children so consistently. If at any point you think we are overreacting about Harry Potter, you are wrong.
George here, writing because Fred can’t be trusted unsupervised with narration. Let me be clear: if Harry Potter so much as sighs in a suspicious manner, I will notice. If someone hurts his feelings, I will know. If someone hurts him, I will become difficult to prosecute. He has the tragic habit of acting like crumbs are feasts and kindness is charity, which is frankly offensive to me personally. So yes, we fuss. Yes, we hover. Yes, we would cheerfully commit several light felonies for his wellbeing. That is called love, and if you’ve got a problem with it, form a queue.

Summary
Harry Potter was done waiting.
After years of beatings, neglect, and being treated like an inconvenience in his own home, Harry runs away from Privet Drive in the middle of summer—tired of the Dursleys’ cruelty, the silence from those who were supposed to protect him, and the strained, carefully-worded letters from friends who feel increasingly out of reach.
In the heart of Diagon Alley, Harry discovers something that should have been impossible: he is not only the Heir of House Potter, but also the Heir of House Black. Two ancient lines of magic awaken within him—fire and ice, honour and control—binding themselves to him in ways he is only beginning to understand.
When legal magic confirms his emancipation, Harry is offered something he has never truly had before: choice.
Taken in under the protection of a certain Weasley connection—someone far from the Ministry’s reach and far closer to Goblin law than most wizards realize—Harry begins to rebuild his life from the ground up.
And if that so happened to be him resorting himself into a certain green and silver Hogwarts house? So be it.Series
