    Summary

    It’s his sixth year at Hogwarts, and Remus Lupin has no intentions of making any major changes to his daily routine. He’s a creature of habit; of schedules and lists and predictability, and of comfort…when he has the option.

    James Potter, however, has all the intentions of making major changes to Remus’s daily routine. It’s out of love, Remus knows this, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it.

    And, as the year progresses, James isn’t the only one testing the boundaries of his friendship with Remus Lupin.

    Summary

    "We don’t drown. We float. That’s how Muggles used to tell, isn’t it?"

    -

    When Regulus is five, he nearly drowns in the sea off Blackpool.

    When Regulus is eleven, his brother befriends a ghost.

    It’s not until Regulus is eighteen and ready to die that the Black family’s darkest secret finally unravels. It might, perhaps, change everything.

    (A coming-of-age story with mind magic, star charting, pink petit-fours, two diaries, and a ghost.)

    Summary

    In 1967, Regulus Black loses a game of hide-and-seek.

    In 1979, he is dragged, alive, from the underground lake.

    In 1980, he turns reluctant spy for the Order.

    These events are not connected.

    But there’s a strange thread weaving through Regulus’s life, a splitting seam in the tapestry of his memories, a bogeyman that shadows his steps, and he can’t quite shake the feeling that he's missed something essential...

    Summary

    Now, it’s December and it gets dark at a quarter to four, the steely wind streaking past the thin walls of their little house. There are drafts, their home is nothing but drafts, but Remus puts the tea kettle on and refills their cups every hour, and Sirius wraps the old quilt around Remus’s bony shoulders, presses a kiss to his temple.

    or:

    It’s December of 1998, the war is over, and they have survived. But being alive isn’t the same thing as living.
