Summary
Peter Parker. 16 years old. Recently emancipated from the foster system and moved into the dingy villa his deceased parents left him. Which apparently means he has to deal with various stray animals and human beings who keep choosing his house as their refuge. He is so unprepared for this shit.
And then stupid Tony Stark randomly decides to insert himself into Peter’s life, with his dad-sweaters and his boo-boo fixing and his casseroles.
He thinks Peter’s parents are just out of town on a business trip. Peter is in no mood to correct him.- Language:

Summary
Believing Regulus sold him out again, Sirius says some hurtful things and pushes his brother away. With the advent of Lucius Malfoy's visit to the Black family after years, this is a bad time for a rift between the brothers.
In hindsight Sirius wishes he'd seen all the signs of how Lucius has been hurting his brother.
In hindsight Sirius wishes he'd never ignored and pushed away Regulus. Maybe he would have seen it then.

Summary
Sirius is imagining a billion things - James, bleeding and hurt. Someone in their living room. Whatever terrible things there could possibly be, they all run through his head so quickly one after another it's almost all at once.
What he does not expect…
Is Regulus. Regulus, bleeding and hurt, heaving and gasping with hands shaking against James' chest and arms, laid sideways against his chest as if --
As if it's familiar, really.
_______
Regulus shows up at the Potters' house bleeding and hurt, which reveals something about James' relationship with him to Sirius.
Sirius has a hard time accepting many things, from Regulus being here to him and James being a thing.
Horrible truths are discovered, and in the end, Sirius could never really let go of caring for Regulus, even when he tried so hard to.

Summary
“How old are you?”
“What do you care?” is the hostile reply.
“Because I don’t remember agreeing to hire kids on the cleaning team.”
Peter Parker takes another bite of his sandwich and says, around a full mouth: “I’m just here for my community sentence.”
“Huh,” Tony says. “Why?”
“I spray painted ‘superheroes should go fuck themselves’ on the side of this building. Got caught.”
“Better luck next time, then. Were you in my lab yesterday?”
“I was in several labs,” says the kid dismissively.
“Did you mess with my calculations?”
“I corrected them, if that’s what you mean. Today is my last day, and the thought of leaving them up like that, half-assed, gave me angina. So, yeah, sue me.”

Summary
“I’m not making fun of you! For Merlin’s sake, Moons!” Sirius chuckles, disbelieving. “Does everyone need to drop down on one knee for you to know they’re into you?”
“You’re being an arse.”
They hold each other’s gaze for a moment longer, before Remus scoffs and looks away.
“That’s not the point, in any case. We’re here to help James.”
or, alternatively: Sirius and Remus make a list to help James with the person he fancies. Sirius discovers a few things along the way.

Summary
When Regulus Black was 19 he broke up with James Potter because he thought he didn’t know how to love. When he was 20, his brother told him that James was having a kid. When he was 30, he was teaching potions at Hogwarts, which was going swell, until one day when Harry Potter (aka the carbon copy of the boy whose heart he shattered) strolls into the Great Hall and effectively sends Regulus into a full blown panic.

step into the daylight and let it go by serendipitysirius

Summary
James Potter loved Lily Evans from the moment he knew what it truly was to love anybody. But, in the end, it didn’t matter that James had declared that he would never love anyone else but Lily. Because he still lost her.
One year on from Halloween 1981, James is struggling to raise Harry alone whilst drowning in an impenetrable dark sea of grief, determined to never love again. Because, in his experience, to love, is to lose.
Luckily, Regulus Black knows quite a lot about loving and losing. And drowning, too, considering the fact that he survived the cave in 1979 and faked his death for two years, popping in to give Sirius the fright of his life on Halloween.
And, consequently, showing up just in time for the events that followed. The shattered remnants of people that the war left behind.
Maybe Regulus will be able to show James that it’s okay to extinguish the first love flame, whilst simultaneously giving him the parenting help he is too ashamed to ask for. And, in return, maybe James will manage to convince Regulus that love isn’t something you earn, something that always has a catch.
Maybe they just needed one another all along, to take that step into the daylight.

Summary
Grief, James finds, is circular.
--
“Does it get better?” He whispered once he had cried himself out and the tears had dried tightly on his face.“Better?” She repeated, and there was something anguished in her voice, a new and old grief twisted up together. “No.” Effie said, and Sirius’s heart dropped, but she quickly continued. “Though, it gets easier. Eventually, you’ll wake up and it won’t be your first thought every morning. It won’t shock you every time you remember that he's gone. There’s nothing better about losing somebody you love that much, but time will take the sharpness, and get you used to his absence. You’ll live the good parts of your life. You’ll get married, and have a family if that’s what you want. Whatever you desire, you’ll build it. And you’ll miss him for the rest of your life Sirius, but one day you’ll wake up and realize you lived through it.”
“What if I don’t want to live through it?” Sirius asked, his voice small.

Summary
🍉
Climbing into his head was easy. When pleasure reached its peak, all walls crumbled down, allowing him a glimpse inside. Another trinket, another location.
It was worth the pain. The blood. The numbness.
War was made for sacrifices, and Regulus Black had given his own body, his sense of sanity, his life, up for the Greater Good. It was okay. It was fine. Everything was fine.
But when a certain green-eyed boy gets thrusted into Regulus’s arms, and he’s given the responsibility to care for him until it’s time for the butcher to come out, Regulus is forced to decide whether the end of this war is worth setting aside his morals, his soul, and possibly his life.
—
Or; the one where Regulus gets forced out of hiding to face the world, make the right but painful decisions, and fights with more than just one Dark Lord.

Summary
Letters from his deceased cousin caused Draco to realize that he had choices, starting with the choice to be someone else, to be who he wanted to be.
The road to self-discovery was difficult and navigating that path in the shadow of Harry Potter was its own challenge but maybe, just maybe, his friends would help him along the way.
And he would owe it all to Regulus Black.

Summary
In the cave, Regulus doesn’t beg for it to stop. He begs not be left behind, alone.
Perhaps this is why, when Kreacher gives one last look over his shoulder and sees terrible, pale hands reaching for his master, he appears in a flash at Regulus’ side, clutches him by the elbow, and Apparates them both out of the cave, directly disobeying his master’s last order.

Summary
“Billy.” She repeated smartly. “I imagine this is a lot, to suddenly see your father in an hospital bed. It can be quite shocking.”
“You said somethin’ ‘bout an illness.” He interrupted her.
“He was diagnosed with Alzheimer five years ago.” Layla looked confused. “You didn’t know?”
Billy shook his head. “Haven’t talked to him in eight years.” He revealed to her.
Her eyes widened slightly. Looked at Billy’s expression, then at the man lying down on the hospital bed. “I feel like you had a good reason not to.” Layla added. “But at this time even specialized care won’t take him. He’s too far gone his illness and needs a familiar face around to help him settle at the bad times.” She paused, looked at him. “We are as of now discharging him into your care. You are legally obligated to take him, honey.”
He felt fear as an electrical shock from the floor up through his whole body, inside every single one of his bones. “Is he going to recognize me?”
Layla pondered. “Maybe. Maybe not. It varies. He may also recognize you in one minute and remember nothing on the other.” Was her answer. “Alzheimer is a very fickle thing.”
Billy just nodded, turning to her. “Where do I sign?”Bookmarked by greatromulus
