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.

Summary
I've found silence is best enjoyed with an open heart beating next to you
But for now be my darling and whisper your words to the rolling moon;
Rolling moon***
“You came looking for me?” Sirius asked quietly after a moment
“Mhm," kiss, "it’s cold – wanted my new favorite space heater to keep me warm.”
Sirius snorted and pulled away to look at Remus. “If either of us is the space heater it might be the one of us who runs so warm he wears shorts even in winter…”
Remus smiled, amused. “Are you calling me hot?”
***
When James Potter inherits his father’s game reserve in South Africa and spends a few months there learning the ropes of the business, of course Sirius has to follow him. He owes it to him to support him while he navigates his grief and the overwhelming task of managing a game and nature reserve bigger than some small countries. But in Africa, Sirius finds more than just a way to give back to his best mate until they make their way back home to Britain. Instead, he finds Remus, a tall, tanned and grumpy ranger who's crispy exterior hides a heart of shy, mushy gold who might make him question where his home really is.
