Summary
After a three-month long migration with his parents, and Sirius long gone to live his life with the Selkies, Regulus has three resolutions as he returns home. The first, keep his brother out of his life. Second, under no circumstances fall back into his feelings for James. Third, and most important, let no-one know that his fins are on the brink of changing - the very catalyst which led to his brother being thrown out in the first place. He lasts little more than an hour before one resolution is broken, and the rest seem ready to follow in dangerously close pursuit.
From the start, his simple plan for a safe life in his parents' shadow was falling apart, and he wasn't so sure he wanted to stop it.

Summary
Remus is the ideal housemaster and perfect husband to the good doctor, Logan Steele. He is. And in Victorian London, in a family of their standing, to be anything else is abhorrent. It's unfashionable. It's just plain wrong. The perfect home needs discipline, control, and a graceful sophistication which balances beauty and excess with modesty and good values. Control, however, in whatever form it takes, is something which Remus has never held in moderation or any real degree of success.
With his marriage and home life fracturing around him, it only takes one chance encounter to set him spiraling faster and further out of reach of the stability he has always striven for than he has ever been before. The consequences are deadly, and they don't even stop there.

Summary
The Light Sides and the Dark Sides had a dynamic that worked. The light sides were accepted, the dark sides were not, and the things that either side did that were not relevant to Thomas were not relevant to them. It worked. For the most part. Over the years they learned and relearned how to exist in the mindscape and with each other, despite the changes which so literally threatened to pull them apart.
Deceit had the honour of that front row seat all to himself for so many years of it.

Summary
Harry Potter was exhausted. He just wanted everything to be over, but the violence never stopped. Even with the defeat of Voldemort and coming back from the Dead, a new war arose. Dumbledore has turned everyone he's ever loved against him. So Harry throws it all away. One last sacrifice and he'd find peace.
Not.
Death isn't done with Harry yet. Forcing him back in time to 1943 Harry has to traverse the oddly similar world of Hogwarts while trying to stay committed to his new lifestyle of apathy. Screw politics. Screw power. Screw Voldemort! Except Tom Riddle seems to be taking that last suggestion seriously. Avoiding manipulation, learning new magic, and trying not to kill the teenage Dark Lord has never been harder.

Summary
“I wouldn’t be hasty,” comments sixth-year Tom Riddle, eyes still glued on the boy in thought. "Harry Evans is going to Slytherin.”
"The strange Mudblood?" Abraxas Malfoy cocks his head. “How can you be so sure?”
Riddle just smiles in response.
Silence settles over the Slytherins, anticipation heavy. And, soon they'll know that Tom Riddle is right again.
