    Summary

    A small bell chimes, the sound soft and pleasant like the water crashing against a pier, like low whistles in an empty cave, like a guqin playing a lullaby.

    Summary

    In 1978, Sirius Black almost becomes an Auror. Turns out even he can’t fake his way through the mental health assessment.

    So what. He has better things to do: Remus Lupin is one. The war is another. He spends weeks at a time undercover for the Order while Polyjuiced to the gills. It’s probably his new favourite thing.

    Little does Sirius know that running from himself will send him on a collision course with his ephemeral brother, but life is funny that way.

    Summary

    Regulus Black comes out of the black lake quite mad, very much his mother’s son.

    Hogwarts will keep him safe, says Dumbledore, who offers him the post of Charms professor.

    But Regulus hasn't stopped drowning (lungs saturated with water, mind torn apart) and the face of Harry Potter, who looks too much like James, makes him realize the war is never over.

    Summary

    In 1967, Regulus Black loses a game of hide-and-seek.

    In 1979, he is dragged, alive, from the underground lake.

    In 1980, he turns reluctant spy for the Order.

    These events are not connected.

    But there’s a strange thread weaving through Regulus’s life, a splitting seam in the tapestry of his memories, a bogeyman that shadows his steps, and he can’t quite shake the feeling that he's missed something essential...

    Summary

    James slid to the floor across from him. It came with the easiness of familiarity that rooted itself deep into the body. Memories locked in muscle. They’d sat like this countless of times; a stance reserved for drunken nonsense after a long night out, for confessions, for musings and fears, for pockets of comfortable silence, for nothing but the radio.

    This was the James from back then—perpetually sun-soaked, worry-less James—who handed out his little mercies and bathed you in light.

     

    x x x

     

    Regulus leaves his parents at 17, finding shelter with Sirius at the Potters' home somewhere along the rocky shores of Devon. What follows are the good years, then the unspeakable ones, and then, inexplicably—like a roach, a true Black—Regulus comes out the other end alive.

    He just doesn't expect to stumble into the easy solace of James Potter and his five-year-old son.

    Summary

    The image is burned into your mind’s eye: Siffrin, the very last time you ever saw him, knowing full well as you watched his collapse into singularity that something was wrong wrong wrong — but not knowing how to say it, not after the way he’d ripped himself from your careless grasp just moments before.

    He — he was the key. He was the only one who could ever fit the gap he’d left in his wake, still moulded to know all and only his edges. He was one-half of an embrace now left always lingering. He would not, could not, ever come home.

    (After Siffrin finds another way to break free of the loops, the party leaves Dormont with one less traveller in tow. Life continues. Isabeau tries to make sense of it all.)

    Summary

    Zagreus is going to leave, and this will be all he has to remember him by, won’t it? Bottles of nectar, the memory of blood, and the smell of pomegranates.

    (Was this what it was like for Hades? Will it ruin him the way it ruined his master?)

    Summary

    The story begins like this:

     

    There is a legend in Fontaine,

     

    That every time the sky does rain,

     

    It comes, not from wind, or cloud, or sky,

     

    But from the great Hydro Dragon, feeling sad enough to cry.

     

    Or,

    In which Freminet, somehow, keeps running into none other than the Chief Justice himself.

    Things all sort of begin to unravel from there.

    The moon glows outside their window, pearlescence leaking into their floorboards.

    Satoru, Suguru breathes. A finger pressed into the dip between his collarbones. The shadows swallowing them.

    Summary

    “...I don’t think you’ll get any nicotine out of it doing that,” Masamichi finally murmurs, and Satoru breathes out a harsh exhale, though it’s nothing close to a laugh. He gives the cigarette another fancy twirl- spinning it between his fingers, over his knuckles, along the back of his thumb.

    “I don’t have a lighter,” he says, nothing to it save the simple shrug of his shoulders. He sounds quiet, serious. It’s not like him. “Suguru took it.”

    Summary

    “Last Christmas,” she says, and Satoru gets the feeling that he should listen. “We lived here, too. But it was cold. Our heater broke, and my mom wasn’t home. Megumi never even opened his gift from her.”

    The living room is picked up, the television is still on, the movie they were watching coming to an end at an almost muted volume, and Megumi is asleep against his sister, and Tsumiki is saying things that Satoru’s not quite sure he’s equipped to maneuver.

    Summary

    Megumi knows more than most people his age. He knows what a bill is. He knows what working really means. He knows what it’s like to be left behind.

    He knows what it looks like to lose yourself in blood. To come home and never turn the lights on. To forget to take off your shoes because the dirt is in the floorboards already, anyway. It’s in the walls. It’s under your nails.

    He saw it in his father. This rot.

    He sees it in Gojo, too.

    It’s the sort of thing he can’t stand.
