    Summary

    He had never thought, even for a moment, that Jordie might be alive. And so he had never imagined what this might be like. The miracle. The return. He supposed he was dimly aware of the fact that it should have been joyful. It should have been a cause for celebration. It shouldn’t have felt like it was tearing him apart at the seams. Like all of his work — on himself, with Inej — was coming unravelled in the span of a single day. Like he might drown in it all, finally, dragged down in its undertow and swept out on the tide.
     
    Or, Kaz and Jordie each believe the other to be dead. When they're proved wrong, it's less a joyful reunion and more an opening of old wounds. Kaz holds his sanity together with both hands. The Crows do what they can to help. But the Barrel never sleeps, and they still have enemies out in the dark.

    //A fic dealing with Rietveld brothers angst & healing, Dirtyhands, vengeance, & backstory trauma, and Kaz's relationships with the other Crows and feelings of loneliness after the end of Crooked Kingdom.

    Summary

    As kids Sirius used to tell his little brother stories. A distraction from his bloody up lips, and he echo of their mothers words. The stories were magic, and made both brothers believe in life better than the one they knew. Making two dreamers.

    The Black Brothers spent their whole life running in circles. Sirius making trouble, with Regulus quickly coming up behind him, trying to clean them up, and keep them alive. Which is no small task. Sirius has no interest in being king, and Regulus has no interest in his arranged marriage.

    The Sienna Marie was far from the finest ship know to man. It was almost always moments away from crumbling into the sea. But her crew of pirates worked hard. Remus Lupin was the captain in name, and his love for his vessel and crew were unmatched but his leadership was often in question. Luckily James and Lily were always there, fixing what broke, saving the ship and Remus. But like all pirates the three of them were searching for something. And when they find two very out of place brothers on the docks of Slytherins they start to find it.

    Equal parts Wolfstar and Jegulily with a lot of pirate adventures.

    Summary

    Regulus had become used to an inexplicable, sinking fear. He had felt it deep in his gut the night before Sirius left for good, a note left in place of his older brother. It was a lingering sense of unease when he awoke panting and gasping for air after waking from gruesome nightmares plagued with torture and death.

    So why, why is his only reprieve the silver stag that visits him in his dreams? And why does his soulmark look suspiciously similar?

    **where regulus has visions that definitely *arent* visions, attempts to find an actually family at hogwarts, protect his older brother, all the while trying to figure out who the hell his soulmate is

    Summary

    Here's what happened. James and Lily had died to protect their son. They had done it all for Harry, did everything they could to ensure his safety and happiness. All for Albus to dump him at Petunia's where he was neglected and abused.

    Lily had seen it, sort of. The afterlife was weird like that. You could watch your living loved ones but not directly. It wasn't like turning on the telly and watching their lives. It was more of a feeling with flashes of memories. She could feel her son's pain, his confusion, his fear, his hopelessness. Every once in a while she could see him too, locked up in his little cupboard, not bothering to cry because he knew that tears would only bring more pain. She could feel his hunger, his desperation. It was eating her alive... Well... Not alive. That was the problem.

    The afterlife was supposed to bring them peace, it was supposed to be their final resting place, but Lily couldn't rest, not when Harry was wasting away in some dark hole and nobody was doing anything to fix it.

    She was his mother, and she was going to fix it. And if that ment dragging her husband and their new friend back through the veil to the land of the living, then so be it.
