Summary
At the beginning of the Hogwarts 1977-1978 school year, James Potter finds a cat and Regulus Black finds a Horcrux.
These events are not unrelated.
What follows is a deal to their mutual benefit: James helps Regulus hone the finer details of advanced transfiguration, and in return, Regulus teaches James what he knows of occlumency and legilimency. James is pleasantly surprised by how much he enjoys their lessons, certainly more than he thought he would considering what (admittedly little) he knows of Sirius’s younger brother. Regulus, for his part, thought he was smart enough to know that anyone with as many secrets as him has no business teaching fucking mind reading to another person. Especially when that person is James Potter.
There is affection—the kind that only comes from meeting someone who you never expected to understand you. And there is war—a looming thunderhead that neither of them wants to see consume the other.
The rest is a matter of secrecy, family, and letting go.

Summary
In the summer between his fifth and his sixth year, Regulus Black is given a simple order: hide a diary in a safe, secret spot at Hogwarts, and he’ll be rewarded with the dark mark. The alternative is death. Regulus is not one for dualism; when he can’t find a pre-made way to do something, he creates one.
While trying to discover what kind of magic has been used for Voldemort’s diary, he gets deep into dark magic and history of the wizarding community. What ties a murder happened thirty years prior, a diary and dark magic? Regulus is one step away from the answer when the diary gets stolen.
The Chamber of Secrets is open, classmates and friends are in danger, and rumour has it someone will die again before Yule. Will Regulus manage to close the Chamber before the worst happens? And what will that mean for his future?

Summary
"Why -" he gestures expansively towards Jaskier, his lute, the forest around them, his swords now strapped to Roach "- are you doing this?"
A bard seeking fortune wouldn't watch Geralt across the fire with eyes half-full of tears that he didn't bother to blink away. An artist looking for a muse wouldn't press close, desperately close, against Geralt's side until he finally gave in and turned his head. A young man after a quick fuck wouldn't grip Geralt to him hard enough to bruise even a witcher.
The way Jaskier looks at Geralt makes him think he should know the answer already, but he doesn't, he doesn't.
"Because I know you," he says at last. "Because I have known you. Because I will know you. Isn't that enough?"
(One day, Geralt will understand that it was the closest thing Jaskier will ever have to a goodbye, and it's enough, it's enough.)
