    Summary

    "We don’t drown. We float. That’s how Muggles used to tell, isn’t it?"

    -

    When Regulus is five, he nearly drowns in the sea off Blackpool.

    When Regulus is eleven, his brother befriends a ghost.

    It’s not until Regulus is eighteen and ready to die that the Black family’s darkest secret finally unravels. It might, perhaps, change everything.

    (A coming-of-age story with mind magic, star charting, pink petit-fours, two diaries, and a ghost.)

    [Edit: SPOILERS in the comments.]

    Summary

    "Oh, my poor old heart can't take this," Fred says, clutching his chest.
    "You're thirteen," Hermione scoffs, rolling her eyes. "There's nothing old about you."
    "I'm a twin. Combined we're twenty-six years old."
    "That's still not old, and that's still not how it works."

    Summary

    Hers was a classic beauty, easy to understand, soluble in all forms. The strange radiance around her limbs was not the type that went out of style. At every dance she was glutted with offers; she could be vaguely seen from Ginny’s standard position in the corner as an undimming glow passed from arm to unworthy arm, a feverish heartbreak dream, more blaze and brilliance than real girl.

    Her name, Ginny would learn later, was Fleur Delacour.

    OR: After her disastrous first year, Ginny Weasley goes to Beauxbatons. What she finds there is not easy to describe.

    Summary

    In 1967, Regulus Black loses a game of hide-and-seek.

    In 1979, he is dragged, alive, from the underground lake.

    In 1980, he turns reluctant spy for the Order.

    These events are not connected.

    But there’s a strange thread weaving through Regulus’s life, a splitting seam in the tapestry of his memories, a bogeyman that shadows his steps, and he can’t quite shake the feeling that he's missed something essential...

    Summary

    “I’m sorry Gege, I’m just a bit surprised. Let me make sure I am understanding this correctly,” he said, taking half a step forward. “You are real and also asleep. I am also real, and not a figment of your imagination. We are both real, and asleep, and dreaming the same dream right now.”

    Xie Lian shrugged. “It looks like it.”

    When Xie Lian gets hit by a curse, he winds up sharing his dreams with a certain ghost king who would very much like to know where he is in real life.
