Thank you guys for sticking with me and reading this story through to the end! This is the longest thing I've *ever* written, so it's a kind of big deal for me. You all are amazing, and I love you!
Black House POV
A small, unassuming stone dropped to the attic floor with a quiet thunk.
The Most Ancient and Noble House of Black roused from its slumber, shifted, smiled. The Heart's Blood Stone disappeared with a small pop, reappearing in its rightful place, in the heart of the House, hidden between.
The stone had returned; its purpose had been fulfilled. The boys - both Master Blacks - were alive.
The Most Ancient and Noble House of Black settled more comfortably into its foundation. The boys would return, now. Their mutually binding promises would draw them back. All that remained was to wait. And the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black was good at waiting.
THE END

***UPDATE - 09/08/16: New Story Posted. Takes place during chapter 36 of this fic ("Just Not Cut Out for Torture"). It's called "Constant Vigilance!"
***UPDATE - 09/12/16: New Story Posted. Takes place during JNCOFT. It's called "Rebel Without A Clue." It tells Sirius' POV, and fixes the problem introduced in "Constant Vigilance!" - that bringing Sirius back negated the ending of JNCOFT where Harry and Draco inherit the Black House and estate. Oops. :-)
