Summary
Hermione hesitated, searching for the words as her throat went dry. “You asked how I knew your name...I know who you are because I’ve seen your picture in the Potter’s cottage thousands of times. There was an explosion, you disappeared from your flat—this flat.”
She took a shaky breath. “You’ve been gone nearly twenty years, Sirius.”-------------------------------
When Hermione Granger couldn’t find anything to fit her meager Ministry budget, she begrudgingly accepted the keys to Remus and Sirius’ old flat, never expecting to find her future in a man who disappeared twenty years before. -

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.

A soft tapping caught Remus’s attention. He glanced up, a smile lighting his lips at the sight of bright green eyes on a curly haired toddler. Harry was three...and a half, if he was asked. He and his father were regulars on Wednesdays, traipsing into the library for the Children’s Story Time every week, without fail. Immediately, Remus was charmed by the pair.“Hello, Harry,” Remus greeted him, reaching for the stickers on the desk. He rifled through the stack for one with a train. Harry liked those best. Finding one, he offered it to the tot. “Are you and your Da-“
“Paddy!” Harry exclaimed, patting the leather jacket on the man holding him.
Suddenly, Remus spotted the rings on the hand wrapped around Harry’s middle. After that mental cartwheel, Remus’s gaze took a long, leisurely journey up the man’s body. Ffyc.
