Summary
It’s been months since disaster struck inside the Black Family home—since everything fell apart.
Now, Regulus is on his way to, what he can confidently say is a “disaster in the making”; one, that even he believes won’t last. After the last several homes collapsing, he’s just about given up on finding, what his social worker likes to call “his forever home”.
But, at some point, he starts to believe, finding his “forever home” doesn’t quite exist. Can you even blame him?
With secrets in tow, he enters his most recent permanent placement—the Potters. Whilst he tries to navigate a new school, an unfamiliar family, and his guilt—Regulus struggles to keep his guard up. Can he trust this new family and the fragile connections he’s starting to form, or will the ghosts of his past ruin everything once again?
This is a Modern Marauders Era, High School, Foster Care AU.

Summary
What makes a family?
Is it the blood you share? The name you carry? Or is it something less tangible—something felt rather than seen?
For Sirius and Regulus Black, the answer has never been simple. Each of them has their own idea of what family means, though neither could explain it easily—not until much later. Because figuring it out… that took time. And pain. And lots of learning.
The truth is, what makes a family looks different to everyone.
For the Potters, it’s love.
Love that is steadfast, freely given, and never earned. A kind of love that opens its doors to broken boys and whispers, You belong here.But love isn’t always easy—especially when the person you’re trying to love doesn’t know how to accept it. When trust has been shattered too many times, and hope feels dangerous.
Still, through every argument, every silence, every small step forward, love remains.
And somewhere along the way, Sirius and Regulus begin to ask themselves the question they never dared to before:
When did I first feel loved?
When did I finally believe I was?- Words:

Summary
Regulus knows James Potter. The kind of music he likes, what he does in his free time, every single detail he can absorb.
James does not know him.
Sirius has made sure of that, keeping his mentally unwell brother far away from the object of his obsession. Funnily enough, it's James who comes to Regulus. Well-meaning, curious with no idea what he's getting into.
The lines between love and obsession are blurry and hard to read.
“No, we’re friends now, remember? I know it hasn’t been long, but I think I’m learning you, aren’t I?”
Are you?
James had Regulus, but he didn’t know him. Regulus knew James but didn’t have him.
“Maybe you could,” was all Regulus could say in response. That was a truth. James could probably learn Regulus inside and out. Regulus would offer that if it didn’t mean breaking down the fixation—the rotting truth behind their growing relationship.

Summary
He pictures the funeral sometimes.
He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.
He pictures swallowing them himself.
Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.
