Summary
“Do you want to be my friend?” Helen was stunned. Madeline looked like the popular girls from school that never wanted to do anything with her.
“You want to be friends?”
“Of course! Just write down your number.” Madeline handed a piece of paper and a pen. Helen smiled. She was so glad she had been found.

Summary
Her mother holds her face, a hand on each cheek. Her grasp is too firm. “Maddie. You do not want to marry a woman. You do not think women are pretty. You do not love women.” Madeline opens her mouth to protest but is silenced by the look in her mother’s eyes. “This is not a discussion, dear. This is something you are going to learn here and now. We will not have this conversation again. Do you understand?” Madeline nods, shakily. She doesn’t understand why, but she certainly knows what her mother means. And she knows to follow the rules.
Character study of Madeline throughout her life. She and her mom are both painfully aware that she's a lesbian but they're trying to pretend that's not real--lots of stuff with her mother, lots of low self-esteem depressing sex with men. MadHel, but it's gonna take a sec and most of it will be repression and yearning.

Summary
“You don’t have to take care of me, Maddie.”
She wishes she was brave enough to ask Madeline the why of it all, but she fears that it’ll be some shallow, baseless reason that makes her heart twist with sadness.
“You don’t get it, do you?” Madeline laughs, pushes off Helen’s lap and sits across from her, looking at her with the most intense, wide eyes Helen has ever seen. “I have to take care of you and protect you because I’m in fucking love with you, Helen.”

Summary
Christmas 1979—danger, secrets, lies and their shared history looms large over the Blacks' first Yuletide season as a reunited family. While life as a fugitive proves bleaker (and more boring) than Regulus could have imagined, a botched espionage mission at Malfoy Manor draws Sirius deeper into the Black family web—and his cousin Narcissa's social set.
Meanwhile, Walburga hatches a daring scheme to restore her wild firstborn's damaged reputation in the family—finding him a suitable bride—while Orion grapples with the past, and the high price his two sons have paid for his inaction.
[Regulus Black Lives/Black Family Witness Protection AU. The continuing story of how Regulus stealing part of Voldemort's soul brings a broken, dysfunctional family together]
