    Summary

    Polaris Black was born into a name that carried weight — a family that worshipped tradition and feared nothing more than disobedience. He was taught what to believe before he was ever taught how to think.

    Blood is everything. Love is control. Power is survival. The youngest star in a cursed constellation.

    This is the story of a boy raised in silence and expectation — who could have become anything but first had to decide what he believed. A boy taught to serve a name, who begins to question what that name truly means. A boy torn between the world that made him and the one he dreams might be possible.

    A boy who begins to ask: what does it really mean to be a Black? And what might it cost to become something else? It’s about choosing — not perfectly, not easily — to fight for something better, even if “better” isn’t always good. Of the friends he makes — and loses. Of those who see him, and those who never try. Of how love can be offered in quiet ways and misunderstood in quieter ones.

    A slow, character-driven coming-of-age — more about inner battles than grand ones. About doubt, legacy, and the aching courage it takes to become more than what you were told to be.

    Summary

    Percy was four years old the first time his dreams led him to his many-great-grandmother’s chambers- a woman long dead yet somehow still seated in front of him, fingers grasping at her hair tightly as she wails about a wooden horse on the beach while her servants look on in pity. He feels the weight of something ancient and heavy settle on his shoulders in that moment.

    He was in his 1st grade classroom when his teacher screamed at him for making up lies about gods and monsters and scaring the other children. He was eight when his mother's own visions become too much for her to bear.

    He's at Yancy when Grover Underwood finally finds him and says "I believe you" for the first time. And as Percy begins to feel lighter, that ancient weight that has followed him his whole life slowly dissipating, he realizes that being believed can be just as horrifying as being thought mad.

    Summary

    Regulus was no fool. He knew that he was the heir by default.
    Whether his parents loved his brother or hated him, it never made a difference. Sirius was the sun the household revolved around, leaving little thought for the stars cast aside in his wake.

    Or

    How did Regulus Black justify his actions? Why did Regulus Black turn on the Dark Lord? What would have happened if Sirius helped Regulus in the cave?

     

    Regulus through his time at Hogwarts and as a Death Eater, to an alternative (happier) ending where he does not die in the cave.
    This is the Regulus POV of the same plot from my other work (Half Light) but can be read on its own
