    Summary

    An oversight on the part of Dumbledore leaves Lily Evans dead, James Potter broken, and Harry Potter missing. But he seems to be concerned very little by it, seeing as in the end Voldemort was defeated and that was the goal.

    With only a box of polaroids found shoved in the back of his closet as a clue, James has to find his son himself. But when he slowly starts putting the pieces together, he begins to realize that Lily and Harry aren't the only things Dumbledore stole from him.

    Summary

    "Tell me, Black, have you ever kissed a man before?"

    When Sirius Black ran away, he left behind more than just a house, he left a brother to drown in the silence of Grimmauld Place.

    James Potter has always been the boy who gets what he wants. He wanted the Snitch, he wanted the Cup, and for years he wanted the girl. But then he truly saw Regulus Black. Not as Sirius's little brother, but as someone strikingly beautiful and dangerously captivating. Regulus became the new, unreachable challange James could'nt ignore.

    What starts as a reckless pursuit soon turns into a dangerous game of whispered promises in moonlit corridors and secrets that could burn the wizarding world to the ground. As Voldemort's shadow grows, James and Regulus find themselves caught between loyalty to their blood and the fire between them.

    In a war where everyone must choose a side, they chose each other. But the price of choosing a Black has always been paid in blood.

    Summary

    Regulus Black is in his fourth year at Hogwarts, quiet, composed, and always listening when his brother talks about James Potter.
    James, now in his fifth year, is still hopelessly in love with Lily Evans. And Lily… wants nothing to do with him.

    Regulus becomes obsessed with Lily, not because he loves her, but because he wants to understand.
    What is it about her that keeps James running after her, again and again?
    What would it take for someone like James Potter to look at him that way?

    At home, things are getting worse. His mother is turning crueler, and Sirius won’t stop pushing back. Regulus is powerless to stop any of it.
    He needs a distraction. So he watches Lily. Watches James. Tries to piece it all together.

    And just when James finally notices him… he gets it all wrong.

    Summary

    Tobias, bookish bachelor-in-the-making as he is, thinks himself content to be the quieter shadow to his charming, outgoing childhood friend Lord Beaumont, the toast of London and dream of many a rich and titled lady and gentleman. Better to keep his secret pining to himself.

    Until Montague comes up with a ridiculous plan to discourage an unwanted suitor.

    Summary

    Less than a week into the new school year, a loud knock disrupts the quiet of the fourth-year Slytherin boys' dormitory. The last person Regulus expects to find on the other side of the door is his (somewhat) estranged older brother, Sirius, his handsome face bloodied and bruised.

    Even more shocking than Sirius's sudden appearance, is his request - if they'd be so kind, could he bunk with them in Slytherin 'for a bit'?

    His brother's refusal to explain his abscondence from Gryffindor is irksome, but Regulus lets him in regardless, confident he'll unravel the mystery in due time. After all, Sirius has never been very good at keeping secrets from his younger sibling, and Regulus can be *very* persuasive when he wants to know something.

    Unbeknownst to the Black brothers, however, their choices in that moment set off a chaotic chain of events that will have lasting repercussions for The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, and change the trajectory of their lives for good.
