    Summary

    Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it somewhere deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.

    He often wonders if he has a choice.

    ---

    Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

    Summary

    Even if Sirius Black had survived the war, there was no sense of victory, no justification for all he had lost. There was barely anything left at all.

    Or

    What if Regulus never died in the cave? Would the surviving marauders recover from the loss of James and Lily? Would Sirius Black be a hero even after James Potter was dead?

    A LONG marauders/black family fic. Loosely inspired by some plots from ATYD Sirius POV written by Rollercoasterwords.

    Summary

    “Abashed the Devil stood, and felt how awful goodness is, and saw virtue in her shape how lovely: saw, and pined his loss."
    -John Milton, 'Paradise Lost'

    In September of 1942, Tom Riddle is a brilliant, bitter schoolboy on the precipice of becoming a monster. Already wearing his first Horcrux around his finger, he doesn’t plan to let anything halt his ascent towards realizing his ultimate goal: becoming the greatest Dark Lord the world has ever seen.

    But when a powerful and mysterious transfer student arrives at Hogwarts, Tom’s initial spark of interest rapidly ignites into an all-consuming obsession, threatening to unravel his carefully laid plans.

    When ambition and pride run up against regret and repentance, what will be the outcome? Is there such thing as a soul too mutilated to save?
