Summary
Regulus Black survived the Cave at eighteen, only to be sent to Azkaban a few months short of nineteen.
The war was fought. Won. A Dark Lord destroyed. Death Eaters locked into Azkaban never to be seen again.
Now, as part of the Ministry's Reintegration Programme, Regulus and other disgraced faces are released under strict supervision, forced to confront a past he’s never been ready to face.
His new reality: a cold, impersonal facility, under the watchful eye of none other than James Potter, who’s reluctantly tasked with his rehabilitation. Potter’s presence stirs something in Regulus — something unsettling.
***
or: What if nothing is as it seems, Lily has to uncover the minds of deranged people, James is touch starved, and Sirius is mysteriously obsessed with redeeming his brother?
***
or: What happens with the children left behind?

Summary
“Does it get better?” Evan asks, tearing off a piece of his pastry to eat. He’s at the cafe all of his friends love, nursing a cup of ‘too sweet’ coffee and a pastry. It’s not busy, which Evan is thankful for. He can’t think of much else than Barty. It’s all on his mind that Regulus even has to order his coffee for him, knowing Evan’s order at heart.
Regulus looks at him for a moment, taking a sip of his coffee. “Better? No. Easier to understand? A bit.”
Or,
Barty and Evan’s relationship. Told through Barty’s mental illness, borderline personality disorder, (BPD).
