Summary
Two weeks after Sirius Black falls through the Veil, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are staying at Grimmauld, going through Sirius' things with Remus.
Two weeks after Sirius Black falls through the Veil, Regulus Black's head breaks above water.
Dumbledore isn't going to be able to keep the same secrets when a resurrected Death Eater encounters two thirds of the future Golden Trio. But Voldemort's desire for immortality means his favored General is exceedingly interested in her cousin's return to life.

“Such magic is dark,” Remus breathed. “It isn’t even meant to exist. It would have required… I mean, a lot of blood, if this is blood magic… surely not…”
Regulus sighed. Sirius had thought Remus’ stammering and wide eyes when his mind was overworking was cute. Reg disagreed. “Several human sacrifices,” he finished for him. “It would have taken several human sacrifices.” Their mother was certainly deranged enough to do it.
“Is it reversible?” mini-Potter muttered.

Professor McGonagall pushed open the door without ceremony and Hermione gaped at the teen slouched in a chair half-facing her. It couldn’t be.
“Malfoy?”
He jumped, crossed arms unfolding to grip the chair, as if he hadn’t seen her - because, of course, he couldn’t.

Summary
Rumi watched as the figure, adorned in his black hanbok and gat, descended from above like an angel of death. Jinu. There was no mistaking it. It was actually him. It was clear he was in his demon form. She could see the glow of his golden eyes, looking right at her.
“Pray for me now…” The chanting increased. Loud and deep.
This wasn’t right.
Something was wrong.
Abruptly, like a puppet who had its strings cut, Jinu fell to the ground, landing harshly on the stage with a resounding thud.
The crowd screamed.
_________________________________Jinu comes back to Rumi broken. She has to work with friends, family and enemies to help get his soul back before it’s too late, while learning dark secrets about her heritage and the life of the demon boy she loves along the way.

Summary
He opened his mouth to reassure his uncle, to tell him that he’d be able to start running in just as second, just as soon as the world stopped spinning, but instead all he muttered was, “I’m tired.”
When Iroh brushed against the back of Zuko’s head the pain there abruptly muscled to the front of Zuko’s list of issues, and he gave a loud groan. Iroh pulled back quickly, but Zuko could see that his hand was now dripping with blood.
“Then you should rest, Prince Zuko,” Iroh said, his voice calm and controlled, which would’ve been very nice if the lines of concern on his face hadn’t been so obvious. Zuko watched blearily as Iroh began to look sharply around them, apparently assessing something. “A man needs his rest.”
The world started getting hazy again, but the lack of attempted movement was a slight improvement. A series of shouts pulled him back from the creeping numbness, and Zuko forced his eyelids open.
Iroh was waving his arms, signaling to someone. “We surrender!” Iroh bellowed. “I am with the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, and he needs a doctor!”

Zuko and Iroh are taken prisoner by the Northern Water Tribe following the battle in Agna Qel’a.

Summary
‘I’m Katara, by the way. 12B.’
‘Zuko. 12A.’
‘You don’t say much.’
He shrugs. No, he doesn’t. Not anymore. He has less than nothing of value to say, why bother wasting anyone’s time with it?
-
Zuko has made some life shattering mistakes. Recently sober for the first time since he dropped out of high school, he finally has a chance to make something of this life— if he can just choose to live it. Katara has never felt more alone. She’s weeks away from receiving her degree, already crafting her cover letter for the job she’s been working towards for five years… but life feels empty without her friends and family.
Lonely, and with a shared balcony and interest in tea and gardening, they help carry each other’s burdens and learn something along the way.
