At first, she does not think the scarred and quiet Remus Lupin will put a rut into these plans. That is, until she stumbles upon him bleeding and broken in the infirmary.
She doesn't know why he shows up once a month looking like he's gone through hell, but by healing him, she finds herself falling for someone her family would never approve of.
As her brother Regulus is brought into dark magic, and her future seems to be already written into the Black family archives, Anastasia has to make a decision: to guide Regulus from his dark path or to leave it all behind in hopes of a happier life.

devotion | regulus black
― "I love you more than life itself," ― Althea Potter had always been a light. Where James burned wild and reckless, she glowed warm and steady, drawing people in with her laughter, her kindness, and her stubborn belief that everyone carried a spark worth loving. She was the sister who brightened shadows, the girl who never let anyone feel unseen. Regulus Black, on the other hand, was born of shadows. Cold where she was warm, distant where she was tender, sharp where she was soft-he was a boy sculpted by duty, drowning beneath the weight of a name that demanded silence, obedience, sacrifice. They were opposites, orbiting each other in disdain. She saw him as cruel and unfeeling, and he saw her as naïve and foolish. Yet the world has a way of binding the unwilling, and war makes strange companions of enemies. Slowly, through whispered arguments and stolen glances, Althea discovered the boy beneath the mask, and Regulus found himself yearning for the light he had spent his life rejecting. But love in times of war is fragile. It does not always save. Sometimes it destroys, quietly, beautifully, tragically. And when the end came-as it always would-they both learned that hatred can turn to love, and love can burn into something fiercer still. Something unshakable. Something eternal. Something that could only be called devotion. ☽｡⋆Complete

The year after her brother James graduates, Teddy Potter returns to Hogwarts for her final year. With the Marauders gone, it should be a quiet, peaceful year despite the mounting tensions in the world outside of school. The problem, naturally, lies with Regulus Black, the broody boy who just might be the most effortlessly aggravating person she's ever met in her whole life. And for someone who was raised with James Potter, that's saying a LOT. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── "You know, it must be exhausting to be such a fucking prick all the time."

All The Things We Rise From
Remus Lupin x OC // Marauder's Era - Book II All The Things We Rise From Some grief is quiet. Some choices are louder than war. The war has begun - not with a bang, but with disappearances, lies, and names whispered in fear. Hogwarts is no longer safe, and neither are the people Artemis Black loves. Torn between loyalty and survival, Artemis walks deeper into the shadows she once tried to escape. Alongside Remus, she learns what it means to fight for something - and what it costs to lose it. But as secrets unravel and lines blur, even love begins to fracture under the weight of what they cannot save. Sirius Black is arrested for a crime he didn't commit. Regulus vanishes into the dark. And Artemis? She keeps going. Because someone has to. Remus is older now. Quieter. Still haunted - but this time, by what he might lose, not what he already has. As the war pulls them apart and back together, he and Artemis must decide whether love is something you protect... or something you let burn, if it means lighting the way forward. This is a story of second chances and final losses. Of letters unsent, wounds unspoken, and a war that leaves nothing untouched. Of a girl who never wanted to be a hero - and became one anyway. The fire didn't end them. But rising from it might.Complete
A Pureblood's Guide to Dating the Brothers Black
Regulus Black x OC x Sirius Black (love triangle) A story of two families, with both hate and love written in the stars. Regulus Black has known two things his entire life: one, Colette Rosier is his best friend, and two, he is about to be the youngest Death Eater and heir to the Black family fortune. Okay, maybe that is three. It is the start of Regulus's Sixth Year, and he is about to receive his Dark Mark. What can possibly go wrong? Apparently, a lot when his brother, notorious playboy Sirius Black, is involved and has eyes for his best friend, Colette Rosier. If only the twist of fate, foolish blood vows, and his desire for the Dark Mark didn't stand in the way of what was right before him. A wild enemies-to-friends-to-lovers' tale of possession, hate, humor, love, and Pureblood mania with a bit of a play on Shakespeare. What makes for a better story when some of the most noble and honorable Pureblood houses find themselves tangled in ways that they never dreamed of?

Cracks [Regulus Black x Muggle]
[Regulus black x original muggle character] [enemies to lovers] [kind of a slow burn] Flora, the muggle half-sister of protective older brother Remus Lupin, finds herself hidden away during the First Wizarding War for fear of werewolf attacks. Her life is lonely and quiet until Regulus Black, a former Deatheater and insufferable, arrogant prick, is also in need of sanctuary. Or, a story in which Regulus never expected he would fall in love with a muggle. [enemies to lovers] [regulus black x original muggle character] This fic was inspired by WizardGod's 'dirty old town.' I did have a similar concept prior to reading her work, so it's more accurate to say it motivated me to write this. The setup is generally the same, but this story is very different. WizardGod's fic is brilliant and I highly recommend it if you haven't already read it! Barty Crouch Jr. is tagged but he doesn't come into the story until chapter 23.
