Summary
Even among the wizardkind, Regulus Black is different.
He has a unique ability.
With nothing but a couple of brush strokes, he can paint a person’s soulmate.
Portrait by portrait, his skill has never failed.
Except for one case.
See, Regulus Black can paint everyone’s soulmate.
Except for his own.***
“Alright,” James says, but a hint of disbelief haunts the corners of his mouth, curled in a wry smirk. “Will you do it, then? Will you paint my—my soulmate? A trace of raw longing filters into the inquiry, making Regulus’ decision for him.
Watching James Potter—Regulus’ big, unanswered question—getting the certainty denied to Regulus, will be a bitter pill to swallow, and if he were a stronger man, he’d refuse. But he’s not a strong man either.

Summary
“I’m really sorry to hear about Barty.”
Right. Regulus thought, the one person he has been desperate to just forget brought back into his head. Barty.
When he met James’s eyes again they were filled with a kind of sorrow. Not pity Regulus thought, but a true sadness.
“Thanks,” was all he could manage.
“If it makes you feel any better I thought he was a right asshole,” James said, his easy humour laid over the comment.
Regulus couldn't help himself but laugh a little. “You and everybody else.”
James laughed softly in return, leaning back in his chair with an odd kind of poise Regulus had only ever known him to have.
“I know it must be a lot right now, especially with the media and everything, all of the rumours, and I know you're busy with the album but,” James paused for a moment exhaling, gathering himself. “It's just, if you are ever looking to try again– dating I mean, I’d be really glad to take you out.”
Regulus sat frozen. Unable to find words, jaw surely a little slacked as he took in what was just said. James sat unwavered on the other side.
“What?”

Summary
Sirius has always kept his insecurities hidden under perfect hair, sharp eyeliner, and a smile loud enough to distract anyone who looks too closely. But the mask slips one morning when he doesn’t have time to get ready, no makeup, no styled hair, no carefully chosen clothes and the panic hits him hard.
He spirals fast, shaking, crying, convinced he’s ugly, worthless, and unlovable. The other boys don’t know what to do, but Remus does. He pulls Sirius into his arms, grounds him with soft touches, gentle kisses, and a steady voice that keeps repeating the thing Sirius can’t believe:
“You’re so pretty, baby.”
It’s tender, heartbreaking, and the first time Sirius truly lets Remus see how deep the insecurities run—and how much comfort he actually needs.
This chapter was written with inspiration from another fic, though I sadly can’t remember the title, it was so good though I loved it. Please if anyone knows it let me know so I can reference the fic and author!
