Summary
Sirius Black does not die. But this does not mean that it is easy for him to live.
Or: a butterfly flaps its wings and Sirius does not go to the Department of Mysteries. What follows from that twist of fate is a story about the long, destructive shadow of a schoolboy rivalry; a story about surviving, and how surviving is sometimes more difficult than dying; a story about the fragility of beauty, the gentleness of hope, and the value of choice.
It is also a love story.

Summary
She was doomed to become the Ugly Dark Witch of her childhood tales, no matter what she did. And that was the role she would grow into — damn her heart, damn her dreams of light and sunshine and kind, handsome princes.
Hunger still clawed an endless pit in her belly, and nothing — no one — could ever fill it, placate the beast, satiate her to the marrow.
She was to be always hollow, always a ghost in her own skin, a dream-like mirage of a girl.He couldn't run away. On that, he and his family agreed. He had simply to eradicate the putrescence until he was brand-new, and clean, and more alive than any of those walking, decaying Black corpses would ever be.
He fought death with a thunderous excess of life, until he was gorged with it, until he could drown inside its pulsing, living core.This is a tale where Beast and Beauty are one and the same - where Cinderella plays the role of the Wicked Witch and the handsome, rebellious Prince Charming does not save her. A story of mutual haunting, of an obsession spanning two decades, of transformation - and, perhaps, of love, too.

Summary
Fate watched as her sibling fixated on one of the humans she herself had damned. Watched as the mortal eluded them time and time again. Watched as the child with the world stacked against him greeted her sibling with open arms. Watched as a nosy old bastard delayed their meeting once again and watched as their sibling fell in love with the mortal who destroyed their anchors. And now she watches as they offer other paths to their chosen master.
Then fate rewinds and watches again, but this time she’s watching her own mortal, the one she had always favored. People say that fate is a cruel mistress and they're not wrong. She has to be, for she knows the consequences of her actions, but just this once maybe she could have a favorite. And as she watches obsidian eyes lose their light all while writhing in agony she thinks. I can help my favorite mortal too. She looks into those obsidian eyes and whispers.
“You are loved by me and that will never change. You are mine, my chosen, Fates Favored.” and with those words a new title is spoken into the world alongside Death's Master.
