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 Mere Exposure Effect. James Potter
The more an individual is exposed to something, the more they will like it. ------------- Elysia Valenne comes from an old and wealthy pureblood family, deeply entrenched in tradition and high society. However, unlike many of her Slytherin peers, she never subscribed to the ideology that purebloods were superior. While she carries herself with effortless grace, she has a sharp tongue and an even sharper mind, making her a formidable presence in any conversation. The Valennes are known for their secrecy and power, though they prefer influence behind the scenes rather than open allegiance to Voldemort. Because of this, Elysia was raised in an environment of high expectations and strict protection, always being taught that she must be careful about whom she trusts. Her family, especially her father, ensured that she had connections and safety, though this often meant others feared getting too close to her. Despite being a Slytherin, Elysia quickly gained a reputation for being different from the usual crowd-her humor and independence set her apart. She had no interest in blood purity debates and was known for outwitting her classmates, even the likes of Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. While some pureblood families respected her for her intelligence and cunning, others were wary of her refusal to align with them. She often butted heads with James Potter in their earlier years-his arrogance annoyed her, and she found his pranks childish. However, over time, their playful rivalry turned into mutual admiration. James saw in Elysia a challenge and an equal, someone who could keep up with his banter and match his wit blow-for-blow. What started as snarky banter and competition slowly shifted into something deeper. Elysia never threw herself at James the way other girls did, and that intrigued him.Complete
