Summary
To a mock of luck, Haymitch Abernathy lived, beating the odds not in his favor and lost everything in the end. Now, he has to pay back the Capitol for his stunt, even when he had nothing left to give, as his soul was left being torn to shreds.
Despite thinking that the worst days of his misery were far over, the Capitol never planned to let the Victors go.Before the 74th Hunger Games there were 23 more, and as he was rotting away in the smothering of alcohol and voices of the past mistakes, Haymitch Abernathy had to mentor 46 tributes all alone throughout his decaying life.
And fail all of them.

Summary
Sirius Black is larger than life, impossible to ignore. He smokes, drinks, kisses halfbloods, and laughs like he’s above it all.
His friends think that makes him brave, rebellious and intoxicating in all the right ways.But they’d be horrified if they knew what really went on in his head.
If they saw the real himThe part that still said "yes, sir" when called. The part that still bled for his brother. The part that wondered if he was already too much like them to get out clean.
He works hard to keep the two versions of himself separate. But it’s starting to feel like a losing battle.
Especially when Remus Lupin is looking at him like he might see past the performance— and doesn’t flinch.
“Remember the garden party? When she hexed us over ruining our jackets—”
“Must’ve dreamed that,” Sirius said, too smooth.
Because this was a Gryffindor party, and Gryffindors didn’t talk like that.
Didn’t get hexed by their mothers and call it normal.OR
A canon-compliant, coming-of-age longfic, spanning 1974 to 1979. Found family. Poor coping mechanisms. Slow burn Wolfstar. Morally grey Sirius.

Summary
James doesn't remember much more than his first name when he wakes up in the maze. In fact, it's the only thing he remembers—and meeting Regulus for the first time almost makes him forget it again, but that's neither here nor there.
Regulus has been in the maze for much longer than James, knows its dangers and enigmas well enough by now—but when he stares down at their most recent newcomer, he can't possibly predict that everything is about to change.
Neither of them knows yet why they are trapped in this deadly puzzle, or what lies beyond it; and neither can fathom how far they will have to go to get out of it alive, nor how it will cost them so much more than what they are willing to pay.
Pawns trapped in a deadly game of riddles whose only solution seems to be death, love so brutally challenged it can only turn into grief, and a world falling apart in tune with its people, who can only watch as the fresh blood on their hands dries into sorrow.
Welcome to the Maze.
