    Summary

    James Potter has everything. He’s a stellar student who has gotten nothing under an A; he’s dating the most popular girl in school; he’s richer than 95% of the student body; he is the star player on the soccer team and to make matters even better… he’s drop dead gorgeous and everyone knows it. James Potter is the embodiment of a perfect life. So when his body is found in the lake behind his home after his attempted suicide everyone is confused. Why did he do it? What was he thinking? Why didn’t anyone see the signs? Told through the eyes of James’s closest loved ones (and those who hate him viscerally) someone has to find out what happened in James’s life to get him to that point and figure out who is at fault. The thing is, no one knows… not even James.

    It had been a month since James had tried to drown himself. Nothing would be the same.

    Summary

    James Potter is the sun. Everyone who knows him knows that he is always happy, and bright, and shining light on everyone around him.
    It was James’s most carefully guarded secret that he was sad. He was really fucking sad. So much so that it settled in his chest and made him feel like he couldn’t breathe, and made it nearly impossible for him to get up in the morning.

    Summary

    James thought he wanted Lily—that had always made sense. But now that their relationship is over, he isn’t sure what the next step is, or why it feels like there’s an endless pit dragging him down, down, down.

    The only thing keeping him afloat these days is, strangely enough, his best friend’s little brother. Well, Sirius will understand. If the only other option is James drowning—he’ll understand. Right?

    Summary

    “They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
    “Rock and roll.”
    He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
    “Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”

    After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

    (genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)
