    Summary

    "We don’t drown. We float. That’s how Muggles used to tell, isn’t it?"

    -

    When Regulus is five, he nearly drowns in the sea off Blackpool.

    When Regulus is eleven, his brother befriends a ghost.

    It’s not until Regulus is eighteen and ready to die that the Black family’s darkest secret finally unravels. It might, perhaps, change everything.

    (A coming-of-age story with mind magic, star charting, pink petit-fours, two diaries, and a ghost.)

    Summary

    Some days were easier, like when mother chose to simply pretend he wasn’t there. Regulus felt loneliest on those days, but at least his bones didn’t ache.

    Summary

    The year is 1977, the war is in full swing, and Regulus Black is going to do something about it.

    Admittedly, his plan to form a third side, defeat both Voldemort and Dumbledore, and take over Britain himself is an... extreme way to avoid joining the Death Eaters. Especially when Regulus is juggling fighting a war with playing quidditch, studying for OWLs, and pretending he doesn't care what stupid prank Sirius and his friends have pulled now.

    But what else is he supposed to do? Give in and bow down?

    Not a chance.

    Summary

    “I have no one,” Ciel whispers, shaking. “I have no one.”

    “You have me, my lord, until I bring you victory,” Sebastian assures him softly.

    Ciel lets out a short, frost-bitten laugh. “Until you claim my soul,” he corrects.

     

    or

    A Faustian pact is a poor cure for nightmares.
