Summary
Theodore Nott has always lived by plans, not risks. Study hard, keep quiet, stay alive. It repeated like a mantra in his head. But the war is over and the wizarding world has no place for the Nott heir trying to make amends. University becomes his salvation. Four years later, he's on track to graduate when he takes one last chance at a study-abroad program in New Orleans. Now he's in a new city, with a new life, and he's taken a risk for once in his careful existence.
Harry Potter stopped planning years ago. The auror program broke him, the wizarding world demanded too much, and the voices of the dead have always been too loud to ignore. In New Orleans, he found freedom and purpose running Beyond the Black Veil, a small shop where he has remade himself as a medium, helping the living speak with the dead in a city where magic and morality blurs. He had no interest in the world he left behind.
Until Theo walks through his door.
Neither expected their paths to collide. Neither expects that grief might be the bridge between them. And neither expects that sometimes, when life and death are balanced just right, love can be a risk worth taking.
Sometimes your past catches up to you.

Summary
It all started by chance, when Bill noticed the black eye Richie was sporting. Then came the downward spiral of social services, finding out you are adopted and have a long lost twin brother, and leaving the town you grew up in to go live with the family that adopted him.
***
You mean I didn’t just get stuck with the worst parents on the face of the earth by the fate of conception? You mean they actually chose me just to wish they hadn’t all these years later? You mean I now have two families that don’t want me? It makes sense really. I'm just a big trashmouth. I’m a disappointment. Why would anyone want me?
***
The Wheeler's really are polar opposites from the Tozier's. What will it take for Richie to understand he can actually be wanted? How will these boys react to the change in family dynamic? What happens when they both are pining over the same boy? Get ready for a deep dive into the emotions of Richie, Mike, and Will as they navigate these life changes in the last few years of high school. Can they handle it? We'll just have to see.

Summary
“Aren’t you always?” Sirius teases gently, squeezing his waist. “You act like you’re the one adopting a child for the first time. I would like to remind you that is not the case."
“I know, but this time feels different. Teddy… his parents passed away in an accident. He had a loving family...” Remus turns around and Sirius snuggles into his arms. “I know that’s not the case this time.”
Sirius nods with a sigh. “Well, at least that’s something I know I am experienced with.”
***
After a year of being married and opening themselves up to adopting another child, Sirius and Remus receive a call from their friend Amelia informing them there is a fourteen year old girl named Hope looking for a home. Once again, Sirius finds, like babysitting and proposing, there's no proper guide for parenthood. Especially when you're parenting a child whose a reflection of you...

Summary
“By the way, did I see pins on your bag when you came in?”
Regulus hums, thanking him and accepting the papers from him, “Yes.”
“You don’t have to, but would you mind me taking a look at them?"
The man finally points at the two pins, “Would you mind if I ask about these? You don't have to tell me, but I know of most of the other ones, at least a bit.” Regulus swallows thickly, focusing on the pins that Fleamont is pointing at.
He doesn’t want to tell him.
Regulus has a bad association with telling adults about his gender identity and sexuality, the adults in his life always scolding him or yelling at him or punishing him for it.
But he knows that Fleamont won’t do that.
Right?
He takes long enough that the man starts to pull away, “You don’t have to tell me if it’s private or something you don’t want to talk about.”
“No, it’s fine.” Regulus corrects quickly, “They’re ah- this one is the trans pride pin and this one is the gay pride flag.”
...
Regulus is Fleamont Potter's teacher assistant, and panics when the man notices his pride pins. Despite that, he comes out to him, soon meeting a hot person because of it.

Summary
“I’m thinking about getting a tattoo.” James mutters, not looking up from where they’re testing out puzzle pieces on a spot.
Sirius sputters for a moment at the sudden comment, “What? You hate the idea of getting a tattoo.”
“I don’t hate the idea,” they break to cheer when they finally find the piece they’ve been looking for, moving onto another isolated missing piece, “I just know that my pain tolerance is shit and it would hurt, so I’ve always been scared of getting one.” They finally look up and level Sirius with a look, “Do you really think that I hate tattoos.” They send him a pointed look, taking a moment to drag their eyes over all of the visible tattoos that litter Sirius’ arms.
...
James decides, despite their low pain tolerance, they're going to get a tattoo and asks Sirius for his usual artist, which is how they meet the most attractive man they've ever seen and are immediately trying to charm him.

Summary
“This has to be some kind of conflict of interest,” Regulus says, his lip curling at James.
James shrugs, the idiot, “I don’t know.” His voice is weary, tired. He even looks tired, even though he’s been sleeping all day. In fact, he looks more than just a bit tired. There are deep, dark circles under his eyes, his hair is sticking up– and not in the endearing way it usually is– but simply out of control.
He’s thinner than he used to be, and his brown skin is sallow. Regulus’ eyes catch on the two massive bandages wrapping around his arms.
Jesus fuck.
Regulus had no idea James was… no. He couldn’t do this right now. He was here (and had been for some time now) to figure his own shit out. Not to worry about James’ suicidal ideations. Not to mention, he hated James. So this whole thing? It wasn’t going to work.

Or: James Potter and Regulus Black end up as roommates in the same mental hospital.
