Irina Rosier was raised to be perfect.
Sirius Black was born to break the rules.
They were never meant to survive each other.
This isn't a love story.
Not really.
It's a story about names and masks. About the children who were told to carry war in their veins and legacy in their bones - and what it cost them to survive it.
Some of them didn't.
We Were Never Children is a slow-burn Marauders-era story told through elegance, silence, loyalty, betrayal - and a love that tried to outrun bloodlines and failed. Maybe.
Maybe not.
If you're here for:
-morally gray Slytherins,
-unspoken first loves,
-girls in green velvet with knives behind their smiles,
-and boys who burned their futures just to breathe-
You're in the right place.
Take a breath.
And remember:
The war hadn't started yet. But they were already bleeding.

Till Forever Falls Apart
In the shadows of war, beneath stolen glances and whispered promises, James Potter and Aurora Black love fiercely- only to be torn apart by fate. ~~~ Or in which Sirius Black has a sister and James Potter finds his one true love. "They were... well, star-crossed doesn't even begin to cover it," Sirius said, swirling his coffee absentmindedly. "She was a Slytherin, and he was Gryffindor's golden boy. But it wasn't just that.

Tired Soul
Sirius Black is rotting in Azkaban, a murderer in the eyes of the wizarding world. But while the world believes him to be a villain, his two-year-old daughter is handed over to the so-called care of Albus Dumbledore. The great wizard, however, is far from a savior. He abandons the child to a seemingly benevolent orphanage, a place that is, in reality, a hidden front for something far more sinister: the Red Room. As a master of secrets and manipulation, Dumbledore knew everything. He knew Sirius was innocent. He knew Peter Pettigrew was the true culprit. He even knew when Peter, in a moment of cowardice, came to him begging for help, and he turned him away, sealing the fate of the Potters. But Dumbledore's secrets don't stop there. He orchestrated a lie so grand it fooled everyone, claiming Harry Potter was the child of James and Lily, when in fact, he and Hermione are long-lost twins, separated and hidden for a purpose only Dumbledore knows. This story is not just about a forgotten child; it's about a man who knew every tragic event and every broken life, and did nothing. It's about a father's desperate fight to escape and find his daughter, now being molded into a weapon. It's a dark twist on a familiar tale, where the Boy Who Lived is a fraud, a wizarding conspiracy runs parallel to a global one, and a little girl with a famous last name is becoming the world's most dangerous assassin.
Another Star: Polaris Black
Polaris Black was born into a name that carried weight - a family that worshipped tradition and feared nothing more than disobedience. He was taught what to believe before he was ever taught how to think. Blood is everything. Love is control. Power is survival. The youngest star in a cursed constellation. This is the story of a boy raised in silence and expectation - who could have become anything but first had to decide what he believed. A boy taught to serve a name, who begins to question what that name truly means. A boy torn between the world that made him and the one he dreams might be possible. A boy who begins to ask: what does it really mean to be a Black? And what might it cost to become something else? It's about choosing - not perfectly, not easily - to fight for something better, even if "better" isn't always good. Of the friends he makes - and loses. Of those who see him, and those who never try. Of how love can be offered in quiet ways and misunderstood in quieter ones. A slow, character-driven coming-of-age - more about inner battles than grand ones. About doubt, legacy, and the aching courage it takes to become more than what you were told to be.![Marmoris | Rabastan Lestrange [1] ✔︎](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/133317813-256-k282525.jpg)
Marmoris | Rabastan Lestrange [1] ✔︎
With the exception of Sirius Black and a few others, members of the old and noble pureblood families were always seen as nothing but pure evil murderers. They were the ones who had followed Lord Voldemort in two wizarding wars and killed hundreds of people, both magical folk and Muggles. But are they nothing but evil? In the 1970s, young Phoenix Black's only goal is to live up to her family's expectations, even if it means living a life, in which she wouldn't get to make her own decisions. To her, nothing is more important than her family. But when her older brother is disowned, for the first time, doubts rise in her heart, and from that very moment onwards her life seems to be turning into a downward spiral. She discovers horrible abilities, she cannot control and realises the world, she has believed in for so long, is nothing but a lie. Even Slytherins went through struggles in their lives, more than one might think. They fell in love, made choices, which could never be reversed, and sometimes they felt like there was nothing left to fight for. And eventually, they might have turned into the monsters everybody saw in them. ↠ Book one of the Ocean Duology ↞ ✶ Part of the Black Chronicles ✶ ⋆ Highest ranking: ⋆ #1 in Deatheater ↠ 27.11.19 #1 in mentalillness ↠ 19.01.21Complete
Beneath The Ashes
"He was the light she was raised to destroy. She was the shadow he couldn't stop chasing." Velora Amaris Malfoy was born into power, privilege, and silence. The younger sister of Lucius Malfoy, she's expected to be perfect-poised, cruel, untouchable. At Hogwarts, she becomes a Slytherin prodigy: brilliant, feared, and untouchably cold. To everyone else, she's just another blood-purist elite destined to rise through the ranks of the Dark Lord's army. But James Potter sees something else-a spark beneath the ice. What begins as rivalry spirals into obsession: shared detentions, explosive arguments, fleeting glances that linger too long. As war brews and alliances fracture, Velora is pulled deeper into a life she never chose. Branded with the Dark Mark before her seventh year, she becomes a weapon. A spy. A killer. No one can know what she and James have. Not their friends. Not their enemies. Especially not Voldemort. But secrets don't stay buried forever. And when Velora begins to hesitate-when she starts to remember what it means to feel-she becomes a liability. Now both sides want her dead. This is not a love story. It's a story of fire and ruin, of blood and betrayal-of two enemies who should have destroyed each other, and the ashes they leave behind.Complete

Regulus x Marissa(OC)
Everyone saw me as perfect, I always had been my whole life. I was Regulus Black, I was raised to be perfect. I was everything that my parents wanted me to be. Pureblood, Slytherin, and the opposite of my brother. My brother was Sirius Black, known as the heart throb of Hogwarts. My parents hated him. He had been sorted into Gryffindor. He had been set free. I have always been jealous of him, he isn't stuck being controlled. He has forgotten about me, moved on completely. He once promised me that we would both escape together, but he broke it. How could I forgive him for that? He ran away over the summer and left me there. "Sorry." I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard that oh so beautiful voice. "Sorry Marisa, I didn't mean to bump into you!" Some random kid who I didn't know exclaimed. "It was my fault, I should have been more careful." Marisa smiled. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of it. Marisa was a Hufflepuff, and she was one of the most popular girls in the school. She was in the year just above me. She was another one of Sirius' friends. She is also the girl I've had a crush on since third year, but I've never even spoken to her.
