1973. Winter hangs heavy over Grimmauld Place, and nothing in the Black family burns without leaving scars.
Regulus is quiet. Careful. Obedient.
Sirius is angry. Loud. Already halfway out the door.
But things aren't simple-not when you share blood with someone who might be drowning in it.
During one bitter winter break, a letter threatens to change Regulus's future, a sketchbook holds secrets no one's supposed to see, and a quiet meeting in the Forbidden Forest might pull them both into something far darker than either of them is ready for.
A story about silence, survival, and the space between becoming and breaking.
Marauders Era • Regulus Black centric • Found family vs blood family • Pre-war tension
Ships (slow-burn + background): Jily, Wolfstar, EvanRosier x Barty Crouch Jr., Jegulus, and more
Status: Unfinished

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.
Asterism | Regulus Arcturus Black
-asterism .noun a prominent pattern or group of stars that is smaller than a constellation, Black's are considered possessive, cut-throat, and notoriously remorseless when it comes to getting what they want and protecting what they have, traits that have secured their power and position in the Wizarding World and traits that Regulus Black has spent the better part of his life convincing himself he doesn't possess. His strong aversion to the Dark Arts and his family's practices comes from a crippling sense of guilt and a desire to separate himself from his blood, though his budding feelings for the sister of his estranged brothers best friend might just force him to reconsider everything he thought he'd ever believed about himself. ©Yours,MAW ©Hoetmilks on AO3 All characters other than Eloise Seren Potter belong to JK Rowling (unfortunately) I do not support or condone Rowling' views.
