Summary
Night fell in Grimmauld Place like a thick black cloak. Looking at it, all looked still. But within, if you were watching closely, if you listened very carefully, you found that the fabric really covered very little. It was more the darkness you had to get through.
Regulus was listening.

THIS IS A LONG FIC WITH A LOT OF HEADCANON. We start before Sirius and Regulus are even in Hogwarts and I literally have plot planned through the war. We explore characters in depth. You're going to hate and love (but mostly love) every single character in the fic by the end if I've done my job correctly. Well. Except for a few of them. We don't play apologetics for child abuse here. If you like it, please tell me. If you don't, please write your opinion down on a piece of paper, then burn it :)

Summary
“Mr. Evans,” Ollivander said, smiling wider. “Any relation to Lily Evans?”
“Who?”Harry Evans was almost like any other boy growing up in Cokeworth. He lived alone in a house nobody else could see, he stole food from the supermarket and never got caught, and he had a little brother who had been hidden after the night their mother was killed. Harry was a secret, and he promised not to tell.
A letter in an empty vault, a small boy with broken glasses, a portrait of a scowling girl. As Harry begins unraveling his own past, the threat against his brother grows.
How long will his secrets keep when Harry is the only one standing between his brother and the world?
A story about family, friendship, growing up, and, of course, the most powerful magic of all

Summary
He wonders, briefly, about the ones before. The ones no one remembers. The ones who should be remembered. He wants to know their names. Because someone should know their names, no? That should be important.
or
The war was never about blood. Not really. It was about power, control, and who got to write the ending. And somehow everyone is writing it wrong.
James Potter was supposed to be a hero — but he’s playing politics with Death Eaters.
Regulus Black was supposed to die young — but he’s just manipulating everyone from the inside.
Evan Rosier was supposed to be a footnote — but he’s orchestrating scandals that will outlive them all.
Barty Crouch was supposed to be a villain, a cautionary tale.
But history has always been a liar.
or
People falling in love over letters. Time and time again.
