    Summary

    Ici, les nuages se mélangent à l’eau, she tells Gabby, describing the way the clouds and the sea blur into the horizon, the wind and the light sand, the beauty of the fifty-meter-high cliffs and the grass that, even in the summer, never burns. J’espère que tu pourras venir bientôt, she writes and lies (lieslieslies), often, because God knows she does not, in fact, hope that her sister will be able to come soon. With all her might, with everything that she holds dear and all the courage that she can muster, Fleur prays to all that is holy that Gabby never, ever, sets foot here.

    (Here is a place where house-elves die, where the tremors run down Hermione’s spine, and it is not a place for a child.)

    ---

    (Or: a piece about Fleur, choices, love, and bravery.)

    Summary

    Regulus Black has known he will drown since before he was old enough to put it into words.

    He's never told anyone—not his friends, not his family, not his Divination professor, because a Seer is a powerful tool, and the last thing he wants is to be turned into a weapon.

    But Britain is at war, and Regulus's secret is not as safe as he thinks it is.

    Summary

    Regulus Black is the only remaining son of the oldest pureblood family in Britain, the heir to a thousand-year-old legacy built on blood purity, and one of the most experienced Dark Arts users at Hogwarts. His joining the Death Eaters isn't just an expectation—it's practically a given. His parents certainly think so.

    There's just one problem: Regulus has no intention of doing it. He's unenthused by the prospect of torturing and murdering Muggleborns, and as for championing the Dark Arts, well, why entrust to Voldemort something that he can do much better himself?

    But it's the middle of Regulus's fifth year at Hogwarts, and the war is already picking up steam. If he wants to take on both Voldemort and Dumbledore, he has some catching up to do.

    Summary

    Eleven-year-old Regulus Black has decided he is not going to Slytherin.

    That decision sparks a chain reaction of Dark Lord-defying proportions.

    (In which Regulus is a snake in lion's clothing, but as it turns out, if you hang out with the Marauders enough you find yourself doing some very stupid things in the name of bravery.)

    Summary

    The Wizarding world hadn’t seen the rise of the Three Lords in over a thousand years. Although time and again people tried to claim they were the Light Lord or the Dark Lord, the Grey Lord was absent altogether. How would Harry's life have changed if he were the Grey Lord? With a little bit of of Arthurian legend and a whole lot of book-slinging, the Three Lords’ rise to power won’t be easy, but together, they will interject the Wizarding world with the one thing it was sorely lacking: common sense. 11/26/18 - ON HIATUS while I work on original work for a while. :)
