Summary
I should've known it was too good to be real.
The way he touched me. The way he looked at me like I was more than just another girl in the hallway.Mattheo Riddle doesn't fall.
He plays. He wins. He walks away.And I-I was just part of a bet. I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just stopped showing up.
Because if he could lie with his hands and kiss me with his mouth full of secrets-
Then I could leave without a word.And now we're back, on the same train, heading toward the same castle.
But everything between us is gone.And the worst part?
I still look for him.

Summary
"Now I have three heads: one for speech, one for sex, and one for second guessing." - Analicia Sotelo. 'South Texas Persephone'.
Her door clicks open and nearly clips her in the face. It could be a sudden draft, but Amy is doubtful. Her fist clenches shut around the marble. It is pretty. She could look at it for hours, the way it catches the light. It’s almost like a sweet. Want curls up in her chest like a cat. She thinks she’ll keep it. A gift from the big grey orphanage, just to her.
“That’s mine,” comes a thin, cold voice, and she sees the boy across the hall for the first time. His room is directly across from hers. He is pretty, she thinks, like a drawing from a book. The lines of his face are smooth and pale. His hair is dark and neatly parted. He holds himself very rigidly, like a miniature soldier or a wind-up toy. “That’s mine,” he repeats, sharply.
(In which Tom Riddle is not the only strange child to come out of Wool's.)

Harry’s survived impossible odds all his life: his hateful relatives, their abrupt decision to kick him out, and then years spent staying alive on the streets of London.
He’s excellent at surviving impossible situations. His magic powers don’t hurt his odds at all either.

All Hermione Granger wanted was a way to shut her thoughts off.
She never thought Theodore Nott would be both the poison and the antidote for that.

HFWHG is on indefinite hiatus.Short version is that work became crazy and then I just lost passion for the story. If you choose to read, please know that at this moment in time, things are up in the air with it. I'd like to finish it, but I won't do it unless my excitement for it is back. Otherwise, it'll feel forced and both you and I will be able to tell. Thank you 🩵

IM IN LOVE

Summary
Regulus and Sirius, born and raised in Erudite, now share nothing in common except a yearning for personal freedom.
Sirius found his freedom in James' family when he ran away to Amity at sixteen, biding his time until he could secure his future at the Choosing Ceremony.
Regulus, however, knows his fate will be sealed the moment he cuts his hand and spills his blood into a bowl of water, binding him to the Black family's legacy.
James Potter would never intentionally add insult to injury, but as the ceremonial day approaches, certain events force him to question everything he has ever believed.
Remus Lupin is haunted by a past he can’t outrun. Though he knows carrying it alone is dangerous, he sees no way out. When Sirius Black enters his life, Remus is forced to confront how to move forward while hiding the truths he's buried.
As Erudite's grip tightens on the city of Prime and war looms on the horizon, no one can tell if love will be their salvation—or their undoing.

No one, it turns out, really knows one another.
(OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)

Summary
Sirius studied Remus’ face. He was curious what he thought of all of this, the only one of them who didn’t have a mark– theoretically– and the only one with a muggle parent. Muggles didn’t get marks, he knew. If Remus’ parents were soulmates, then they wouldn’t know it. He wondered if there was a way to tell, though. If they could just feel it, somehow, even without the help of some magical fate.
Because it seemed like something you would just know, just from being near someone, from being close enough to them, from being in the same space. Like their souls would attract like magnets or like water droplets traveling down a window, waiting to merge until the last moment when they realized they were on the same path, and then they’d become one.
Was that fate, Sirius wondered?
He realized Remus was staring back at him, his eyes puzzled and curious and warm.
Sirius looked away first and didn’t look back, pushing down something heavy and impossible in his chest.

Summary
James Potter loved Lily Evans from the moment he knew what it truly was to love anybody. But, in the end, it didn’t matter that James had declared that he would never love anyone else but Lily. Because he still lost her.
One year on from Halloween 1981, James is struggling to raise Harry alone whilst drowning in an impenetrable dark sea of grief, determined to never love again. Because, in his experience, to love, is to lose.
Luckily, Regulus Black knows quite a lot about loving and losing. And drowning, too, considering the fact that he survived the cave in 1979 and faked his death for two years, popping in to give Sirius the fright of his life on Halloween.
And, consequently, showing up just in time for the events that followed. The shattered remnants of people that the war left behind.
Maybe Regulus will be able to show James that it’s okay to extinguish the first love flame, whilst simultaneously giving him the parenting help he is too ashamed to ask for. And, in return, maybe James will manage to convince Regulus that love isn’t something you earn, something that always has a catch.
Maybe they just needed one another all along, to take that step into the daylight.

Summary
“Very particular, but loyal. Suited for illusionary magic and games of deception.” Regulus’s wand foretells his future in a single breath when he is just eleven years old.
Year One: Codependence
Coming from a family like theirs, maybe it wasn’t such a surprise that Regulus and Sirius were a little bit codependent. But entering Hogwarts will push Regulus to navigate for himself a world of new friends, a society beyond that of his parents’, and dreams of a strange lake with a glowing green light that calls to him.
Year Two: Mind Games
Walburga Black pushes and pushes and pushes until Regulus’s mind shields can’t take it anymore. They crack—and from this, a terrible, powerful gift is born.

Summary
He was crying. “You can do that?” He repeated, feeling like he was in some sort of dream.
And then, Sirius seemed to realize. Because for a twelve-year-old, he was decently smart, and knew him better than anyone. “D’you…d’you want to do that, Reggie? I thought…I thought it was just a game?”
But he could only shake his head. Because it wasn't a game. He was a boy. And he could tell from Sirius's nervously resigned expression that Sirius knew it, too.
"It's...not a game."

There's not enough Trans Regulus Black, so here's a fic to help fix the problem. Rated mature for lots of references to transphobia and Walburga Black being a piece of shit.

Sirius had been right, of course, and unbeknownst to any of them, their future now burns brighter than Regulus in the Leo constellation on a stary night.

Summary
In the aftermath of the prank, James Potter is at an all time low. He can barely look at Sirius, Remus’s dad is keeping him locked up all summer, and Lily Evans hates him even more than usual.
In an effort to get James out of the house, Euphemia signs her son up for a summer Quidditch program with the famous Josef Wronski—seeker for the Grodzisk Goblins and inventor of the Wronski Feint.
The last person James expects to see there is Regulus Black.
