Summary
“Very particular, but loyal. Suited for illusionary magic and games of deception.” Regulus’s wand foretells his future in a single breath when he is just eleven years old.
Year One: Codependence
Coming from a family like theirs, maybe it wasn’t such a surprise that Regulus and Sirius were a little bit codependent. But entering Hogwarts will push Regulus to navigate for himself a world of new friends, a society beyond that of his parents’, and dreams of a strange lake with a glowing green light that calls to him.
Year Two: Mind Games
Walburga Black pushes and pushes and pushes until Regulus’s mind shields can’t take it anymore. They crack—and from this, a terrible, powerful gift is born.

Summary
In 1967, Regulus Black loses a game of hide-and-seek.
In 1979, he is dragged, alive, from the underground lake.
In 1980, he turns reluctant spy for the Order.
These events are not connected.
But there’s a strange thread weaving through Regulus’s life, a splitting seam in the tapestry of his memories, a bogeyman that shadows his steps, and he can’t quite shake the feeling that he's missed something essential...

Summary
There was little that would enrage Hades more.
And gods, did Nico want him angry. Wanted him to feel even a fraction of the betrayal Nico had tasted when he found that file.
So he let Poseidon take him apart.
Let his hands bruise his hips. Let his weight press Nico into the altar like a prayer. Let himself unravel beneath the slow, relentless rhythm of a god who should’ve been off-limits.
Or: To spite his father, Nico starts an affair with Poseidon.

Summary
There was no pity in Arcturus’s gaze, no affection, but neither was there disdain. What filled his eyes was something far more unsettling—something heavy and calculating, as though he were measuring Sirius with a precision no one else ever had. Cold and deliberate, it was the look of a man who saw not a grandson, but a tool, a piece in a grander scheme.
“The time has come for us to return to our roots,” Arcturus began, his voice steady, like the pronouncement of fate itself. “We’ve allowed ourselves to care too much for the opinions of sheep. We’ve let slip the traditions, the magic that defines our blood. And in doing so, we’ve bowed to the world. When, in truth, it is the world that should bow to us.”
Or: Faced with their looming ruin, the Black Family decided to take a Targaryen approach to solving their problems.
Or: They are to be married in the tradition of their House.

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.
