    Summary

    Still editing chapters I’ve posted but mostly for grammar and small details. If major details change I’ll make that very clear in an editor note!

    Two decades after the Inferi first crawled from the rivers, Regulus learned what the universe had already made clear. It doesn’t owe the living anything, and certainly doesn't care whether he exists. This becomes startlingly clear when a normal scavenging trip ends with a bite sinking deep into his ribs. Problem is, Regulus is desperate for survival yet has not an ounce of self-preservation.

    Told from Regulus’s POV, the story starts with five survivors: Regulus, James, Sirius, Remus, and Lily. They navigate the ruins of the Scottish Lowlands to survive the Inferi, the elements, and other cruelties in what remains of humanity.

    Summary

    The cat blinked, nearly in disbelief. Sitting on their living room floor was a blubbering toddler. As if that hadn’t been the worst news of the day, at that very moment the child looked up and met its eyes, and the cat beheld a terrible, awful sight.
    On his brow was wrought a jagged, ugly scar.

    Or: Arabella Figg’s cats are smart, but there are some things that can’t be accounted for by kneazle blood. Let’s be honest, though—if you had to pick, being a spoiled house cat is a pretty good way to spend your second life.

    Summary

    Haruno Takeru aspires to have an easy, simple life—it’s a pity that no one else seems interested in letting it happen.

    ( “Someone is taking the children of Konoha,” Hiruzen says, voice rough and eyes blazing.

    “I’d like your help in figuring out who.” )

    Summary

    “Regulus,” Sirius finally said, once he trusted he had his own voice under control, “has never once let me help him, even before I was a filthy blood-traitor. Why the fuck do you think I’d be able to save him now?”

    Tomorrow night. Kreacher’s words throbbed inside his head. Regulus will die tomorrow night.

    Sirius definitely wasn’t going to be getting any sleep at all this week.

    Sirius thought he had cut all ties with his family, but when Kreacher shows up in his bedroom with a dire warning, he's hardly able to let his idiot little brother die. And when he learns about the Horcrux his brother was chasing, he's hardly about to let him take on Voldemort alone.

    But getting tangled up in the House of Black again is not the best way to prove his innocence among an already-suspicious Order. Sirius has to walk a fine line if he wants to keep everyone he loves alive.

    (This series is in chronological order but does not need to be read in that order. NO other stories in this series are required reading, but all are suggested to flesh out the backstory.)

    Summary

    In the midst of a freezing November night, Regulus leads Evan down the steep cliffsides of Southern England in the search of whatever secret the Dark Lord keeps hidden there. What follows is a journey neither of them is prepared for, filled with familiar faces of the past and feelings Regulus would much rather bury forever.

    or: if in doubt, ask your friend for help to steal the dark lord's horcrux(es). what could possibly go wrong?
