Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
---
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

Summary
Sirius Black finds his world teetering on the edge when he's forced to make a choice: protect his own secrets or shield Remus's. The aftermath of that decision shatters the friendships that kept him going and lead him on a downward spiral with no end in sight, while Remus and James find themselves unlikely allies with Regulus in a fight to save Sirius from Orion and Walburga, but more importantly, from himself.
