    Summary

    ​"I would carry you to the very peak of a mountain were it necessary. Now, move that foot and speak no more nonsense."

    ​Life at Bridgerton House is usually defined by grand balls and witty banter, but for Benedict, a new and terrifying battle has begun. When an invisible enemy begins to seize control of his body, the artistic and sensitive brother finds himself stripped of his composure. In the wake of sudden illness, the gilded walls of Mayfair fade away, leaving only the raw, unbreakable bond of the Bridgerton brothers. A story of vulnerability, the weight of a brother's love, and the strength found in a family that refuses to let you fall.

    Summary

    "All it had taken was the sight of those two names that should have no longer existed within his world, and a moment of contemplation before he had realized the truth for himself, and what else was he to do but follow? Even if it meant risking the moonlight, and jeopardizing his secret, and his career, he would not risk the safety of Harry— not again. Not ever. And if it meant gaining back another person whom he had so sorely, selfishly missed? Well."

    This is a story following the immediate aftermath of the events within the Shrieking Shack in Prisoner of Azkaban, only this time, the rat is successfully captured, and Sirius is on his way towards a full pardon. That does not mean, however, that anything will be simple, even if the love shared between the two reunited men seems like the easiest thing in the world.
