Summary
“I’m thinking of ending things.”
James pressed his lips together hard as he fought the urge to suck in a breath at the words. He instinctively reached for his binder of prepared materials and began to flip through it as if it would have the answer, rustling the pages frantically as he did.
“Hello?”
James flinched. “Um, hi, yes sorry it’s uh-- it’s my first day.”
A pause. Then, dry as a bone: “Brilliant. You’d think they’d at least train you to tell people not to kill themselves before handing you a phone.”
James froze, then panicked. “Oh God-- you’re right, I mean, of course-- I didn’t-- oh, shit, I just--”
James’s rambling was interrupted by a quiet sound, over so quickly he almost missed it.
The caller had laughed.
At him.
OR

Summary
At first, Sirius had simply perfected the art of silence under Veritaserum, and been content with that. Silence was safest in that house. But Walburga had not relented in the frequency of her dosages, and Sirius, who had always been a perfectionist, took it as a challenge. By fourteen he could tell a lie unflinching while it coursed through his veins. By fifteen he could do it with a smile on his face. By sixteen he could make it look effortless.
Tell us something.
Sirius grinned sharply, and with practiced ease, he lied: “I am the pride and joy of the Noble House of Black, and Walburga’s favorite son.”
OR
The Marauders take Veritaserum, and quickly realize it’s not Sirius’s first time.

Summary
“I’m worried…I’m worried it’ll change me,” Sirius confessed to the ceiling; Regulus just so happened to be a bystander.
“What will?” Regulus asked.
“The words. Their lies. If people think I mean all that stuff, mean the things she makes me say, how will they know me? They won’t, I mean-- they can’t.”
Regulus stared up at the ceiling as well, now. It didn’t hold any answers.
“So tell me,” Regulus said, “and I’ll know.”

Sirius makes up a game to help them cope. Regulus doesn't see the point, but he'll do it for Sirius anyways.

Summary
“Do you think I’m a good person, Sirius?”
The question caught Sirius off guard, although he should’ve known it was flitting around Regulus’s mind. Regulus had always answered questions with questions, refusing to tip his hand unless forced.
“I don’t know,” Sirius admitted slowly, “I really wish I did.”
Regulus’s eyes widened once more, as if he was genuinely surprised by Sirius’s answer. “I’m trying, Siri, I--”
And Sirius cut him off once more. “I don’t think I believe in trying, Reg. I think you are the things that you do, it’s that simple.”

How much control do we really have over our own story? A tale of fate, destiny, and choices from Sirius's birth to Regulus's death.

Summary
Regulus Black loves France. Which is why, when he's called into his father's office and coldly informed that he's going to be entering the same foreign exchange program that his brother did a few years prior---in Britain nonetheless---he has a very hard time believing that anything will ever be okay again. Within days, everything he's ever known is turned on its head. He's forced into a world with people he can't communicate with, customs he doesn't understand, and a brother whom he's not sure how to talk to anymore. It's hard to find his footing, when every step seems to fall out from beneath him, and every decision feels wrong.
Sirius Black hates France. The culture is lovely, but between the abuse of his parents and the crushing weight of their expectations, Sirius finds it hard to find things to reminisce about. Really, the only thing he misses is his brother, who slips further through his hands with every passing minute. When he gets the call, he’s almost happy for a moment. That is, until he’s very promptly informed that his brother blames him for being torn away from France, and becomes aware that this is very unlikely to bring them closer together.
Instead, it's likely to tear them completely apart.
