    "Why," Sirius said sharply, "are you holding hands with my brother?"

    Remus didn’t look away. “Because I like him.”

    Summary

    A chronicle of the Marauder years from fifth year onward. Doing my best to make this as canon as possible while still having fun.

    Originally started this story in 2013 and decided to rekindle my love of fic this year by bringing it back.

    Summary

    Regulus accepted his lot in life a long time ago. Long before his father got sick. Long before his brother left. Long before his mother got sick of his father’s sickness.

    It might have been as early as before he could walk, or even talk. Maybe, even in the fleshy shelter of his mother’s womb, he knew he was fated to a life lived for other people. A life without sunshine and holidays, without jazz music, rock music, dessert, pets, romance.

    It’s not as if he didn’t want those things. Of course he did. He wanted those things like any other boy growing up in England in the 1960s and 70s. Sex and drugs and cigarettes; he wanted them. He just wasn’t allowed those things. Even when his mother couldn’t stop him because he was old enough to go out and take them, he wasn’t allowed those things.

    That was before Remus, and everything that came after.

    But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

    Summary

    When Regulus Black faked his death after retrieving the locket, he had every intention of hiding forever. Twelve years later, Albus Dumbledore asks him to come to Hogwarts to replace the retiring Professor Flitwick, believing that with ominous whispers of Voldemort's return, there is no better - or safer - place for Regulus to be. Regulus promises Flitwick that he'll try being a teacher for at least two years, since the first will no doubt be difficult.

    But his second year teaching comes with the nightmare of his brother's escape from Azkaban, not to mention Sirius's old friend Remus Lupin taking up a professorship of his own...

    A canon retelling/divergence about how things would change if Regulus survived.
