Sirius and Remus never went to war, never went to Azkaban, they’ve built a quiet life together, and now they’re determined to give Sirius’s little brother the same thing. Safety. Softness. A home that doesn’t hurt.But healing isn’t a single moment. It’s nights spent whispering “I’m here,” mornings of small laughter, and the slow unlearning of fear.
"The House We Built from Quiet" universe follows the Black brothers, the man who loves them both, and their friends through the long, gentle work of turning survival into living.
🌙 Themes: found family, recovery, trauma, tenderness, and the love that teaches you you’re safe.

Summary

***
VERY LOOSLEY based off the story of the 20th century Tennesse Children’s Home Society (def google it) & the eugenics & child welfare movements, and tightly based on “Before We Were Yours: A Novel” by Lisa Wingate :) highly recommend this book

Summary
Regulus Black has been running for as long as he can remember—ever since he and his brother fled their oppressive family home at a young age, determined to make it on their own.
But the years have worn him down, and the weight of survival has turned his life into a blur of exhausting jobs, empty nights, and endless isolation. Now, Regulus drifts through life as a ghost, quietly working as a university library assistant and sneaking into Economics lectures, hoping that knowledge will offer him a way out of the past that still haunts him.
But when a certain professor hires him, Regulus meets his son James, his complete opposite, who craves to show him the beauty of connection.

Or:
A pretty angsty, but still fluffy story that simultaneously follows the past of Sirius and Reg running away and doing anything to survive, and the present, where Regulus is pretty much a cold son of a bitch and James is absolutely whipped and does the most heart-warming shit for him. Also ft. Fleamont being a paternal figure to Reg, which I adore :)
