Summary
Regulus wishes – sometimes, not too often – that he were like Sirius, able to make things up on the spot. Sirius says he has never seen a single bloody thing in his tea leaves, or his cards, or his palms, in the milky depths of a crystal ball or the glistening entrails of a dead pigeon. He just enjoys telling stories.
Regulus sees water.
His tealeaves: Dregs of muddy water. His cards: The Queen of Cups, waiting by the waterfront. His crystal ball: Unmoving, opaque water. His sign: Cancer, one of the Water Trigon. His palms: Somehow, impossibly, water.
So, yes. He really did deserve that P in Divination.
-
Or: Regulus thought he knew all the horrors of Grimmauld Place, but on this stifling hot summer night in 1976, the house seems hell-bent on terrorising him in new and interesting ways. It’s all Sirius’s fault, of course.

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
September 1974 and Remus goes a bit loopy, what with the moon, and the teenage wolf, and his friends who are not Animagi yet, and the creepy dead thing that is following him around.
Sirius had a horrible summer, too.

Regulus is alive.
No-one is more surprised than him.

Summary
Sirius is captured by Voldemort, and his Occlumency falls like France in the war. Lily and James are trapped inside the Fidelius. Someone needs to warn them, but Remus is busy running from the law… oh well. He takes the time.
Maybe Peter should have been Secret Keeper, after all.

leave no stone unturned (a series of standalones) by TheDivineComedian
Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
13 Apr 2019
Summary
Series was formerly "Remus Lupin and the darkness", but evolved way beyond that.
I should probably make clear somewhere that these are standalones in that they share some sort of continuity, but occasionally veer of into different AUs at different points of the timestream. So Not By Force is definitely not where things are meant to go, it's just an exercise in misery ^^

The Sorting of Sirius Black by TheMaraudersCompanion
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
... It had been great fun to pretend, for a while, that he wasn’t the heir to the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, that he might somehow not be in Slytherin. But his destiny had been laid out for him from the moment of his birth. His place in the world had been made undeniably clear, and it wasn’t studying in Ravenclaw, nor slaying dragons in Gryffindor, or...whatever it was that they did, in Hufflepuff.
