Summary
──────────﹒★﹒﹒───────
Saudade: the longing to be near
someone or something that is distant.───────﹒﹒★﹒──────────
James Potter grew up with Regulus Black curled into his side like he belonged there.
Pressed to his left — always his left — every day, every second, like breathing.
It was soft. Maybe a little obsessive. But it was everything.Now, Regulus is twenty and won't even look at him.
And James?
He's so desperate to mean something again, he'd take even the hate.
The crumbs.
The silence.
Anything, just to exist in the same space as him.This summer, they're trapped in the same house again— like every year.
But Walburga and Euphemia have had enough.
They're ready to rip the wound open and stitch it back together properly. And neither James nor Regulus are ready for what it brings back.- Language:

Summary
"The more people you love, the weaker you are. You’ll do things for them that you know you shouldn’t do. You’ll act the fool to make them happy, to keep them safe. You hide truths from them, you change them so the truths won’t hurt."
Regulus Black was a weapon, perfectly trained and devastatingly beautiful.
He read people like open books — saw their weaknesses, their hunger, their darkness — and always knew exactly how to use them.
He wore a thousand masks, and you could never tell which one was speaking to you.
Unless you were James Potter.But even James once failed to read him; he too fell for that radiant mask, the one that shone like innocence.
One night.
One bed.
One breath.
And after that, he belonged to him — entirely.Bookmarked by Poetlesslake

Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.
