Summary
Once, Wylan made Jesper swear not to let Alby Rollins suffer because of who his father was, in the way that you speak when you know what it’s like to suffer the agonies at hand.
At the time, Jesper had thought that maybe Wylan’s father was some Barrel thug, the sort of job that invited in members of other gangs to come and beat up your family.
Hell, if Jesper had learned about an hour ago that Wylan’s father was Jan Van Eck, then he might have assumed that Jan Van Eck’s enemies had once punished his son.
But Wylan spoke of Jan Van Eck’s goons shoving someone into the canal, and Jesper knows how Wylan feels about the water.
It cracks something open inside of Jesper to realize that Wylan didn’t trust him with the truth. That mayhaps Wylan’s trust wasn’t worth its weight in gold, but rather a higher price entirely, one that Jesper Fahey couldn't pay.
But he has to take heart that the first thing that Wylan said, the moment that Kaz mentioned Van Eck, was a warning for their safety.
“Wylan Van Eck?” Jesper asks.
(When Kaz announces the Ice Court Heist, the truth comes out, or: Jesper Fahey is more clever than people give him credit for and puts the pieces together himself.)

Summary
A classic identity reveal in the world of the show fic. I think it would have gone rather different, considering how much Wylan has already done with (and for) the Crows.
I tried to give everyone present stuff to say and do. There's even a little surprise appearance at the end.

Summary
Regulus Black is fine. He is perfectly fine. He has three broken ribs, a disowned brother, and a mother who enjoys the Cruciatus Curse a little too much, but he is fine.
His plan was simple: Keep his head down, take the Mark, and fade into the background. He didn't plan on becoming an illegal Animagus, befriending a werewolf, or falling in love with his brother’s best friend.
Meanwhile, Remus Lupin is trying to figure out if Sirius is dead or just dramatic, and why the younger Black looks like a ghost. They are two sides of the same coin: keeping secrets to protect the people they love. But while Remus has found a pack to ground him, Regulus is drifting out to sea.
But James Potter has a nasty habit of finding things that don't want to be found. Now, Regulus has to decide if he’s brave enough to step into the sun, even if it burns.
OR: The Black brothers compete for the title of "Most Emotionally Constipated" while Regulus gaslights, gatekeeps, and girlbosses his way through a mental breakdown. Regulus is depressed, James is obsessed, Remus is stressed, and Sirius is just... well, Sirius is doing his best, but he’s mostly loudly confused.

Summary
“Sirius, what is it?” He whispers when Sirius’ wails morph into minor hiccups. “Talk to me.”
Sirius’ whole body is shaking when he sits up straight. When he looks Regulus in the eye, Regulus knows without him needing to say anything. It’s written all over his face.
Sirius is grieving.
And Regulus is the one sitting in a hospital bed.
---
“I, er,” Sirius gulps shallowly and gestures behind James. This time, he does follow the action and—
“Blimey,” he says, blinking rapidly. Then, to himself, “Regulus.”
He would recognize him anywhere. Sirius’ younger brother is a bit of a celebrity in James’ world. Unbeknownst to either of the Black brothers, James is a massive fan of his literary works.
Regulus started posting his poetry online over two years ago, and James happened to stumble across it by accident right as he began.
OR--
A story about finding life in death, comfort in pain, and love in every corner of the universe, no matter how dark.

Summary
How do they put it? Does Harry even know Regulus remarried? Probably not. Sirius and Lily walk into the house, past Regulus and Harry in the living room. Out of the corner of their eye, they see what is either a cantaloupe or a honeydew in Sirius’ arms. They hope it’s cantaloupe.
“Jaan, do you know what a widow is?”
Sirius drops the melon on the kitchen counter. Lily pauses, turning halfway to look at them. Her gaze is boring a hole into their head. James, having just walked in, pauses as well. Regulus can somewhat meet his gaze, at least. James raises a brow, gestures at Harry—Regulus shakes their head, turning back to Harry. None of them make a move.
While going through old photo albums, Harry finds a picture of an unfamiliar blonde man with his Papa. The only way to gain knowledge is to inquire—and inquire, Harry does.
