    Summary

    Fred knew loyalty. He was not a chump who ran away at the sign of trouble. He stood by his friends and family through everything, no matter what. And he especially didn't think that Harry was lying. No, scratch that. He knew that Harry wasn't lying. There was no other explanation for Diggory's death. Still, the revelation of it all was a landslide of information and Fred found himself still trying to understand it all.

    Lottie knew deception. All her life she was familiar with it. Her family was full of lies. And the families she grew up with were full of lies. Not that she cared. She was not above it and often lied: to others; and, especially, to herself. It was a way of coping that Theo told her was unhealthy, but she indulged herself in it anyway because it was easy. Which was exactly why she told herself on the train ride back from Hogwarts that she would stop thinking about how the Triwizard Tourney ended and any of its implied consequences. All she wanted to do was lie to herself and be comfortable.

    Summary

    The Emperor Brothers were never denied anything. Every single one of their whims turned into reality with the snap of a finger.

    How could you expect, then, that Geta would ever take no for an answer? Of course, he would figure out a way to have you all to himself.

    Summary

    “What is the importance of this woman, Macrinus. Where is your gladiator?” Geta stares at the woman, and finds there would be nothing extraordinary about her if it weren’t for the way she stared at him with sea green eyes burning with a striking passion– hatred, yet nevertheless, passion. It is perhaps the most genuine expression he has ever seen directed towards him, when the game to please him has always been played by those around him in a desperate attempt to win his favor.

    “She is my gladiator, my emperor, and I assure you she will be nothing you have ever seen before.”

    - - -

    Lucius Verus Aurelias is dead, slain in battle alongside his wife in attempts to protect the Kingdom of Numidia from the bloodthirsty, conquering Romans. With the only hope to restore Rome to a future only dreamt of swept away into the depths of the ocean, the story we know will no longer come to pass.

    But rage will always exist in war, and now the future of Rome is in the hands of a woman determined to avenge the life of her sister. It’s quite easier said than done, when a certain flaming haired king takes a liking to her, and she quickly finds her own heart sparking with something she’d rather not let herself face.

    Summary

    At the heart of the maelstrom that consumed my life, stood a name, a man who irrevocably altered its course: Regulus Arcturus Black. He embodied the tempest within me, a source of both blinding darkness and radiant light, a love that shattered me only to piece me back together, stronger and more resilient.

    Gone were the comforting rhythms of childhood, replaced by the harsh realities of war, loss, and the suffocating burden of secrets. History books and whispered rumors could never capture the visceral experience - the gnawing fear, the intoxicating thrill of defiance, the heart-wrenching duality of love and betrayal.

    Summary

    [on hiatus, but i'm active around here and on tumblr]

    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 an insufferable bigot, 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 was largely inspired by WizardGod's 'dirty old town.' However, I did have a similar concept prior to reading her work and would more accurately say it motivated me to finally write this. Her fic is brilliant and I highly recommend it if you haven't already read it!
