Summary
I never noticed. There are no mirrors in my house; there are no mirrors anywhere on Erid, at least not in the sense that we understand them. There’s reflective surfaces, but not intentionally so. My attention has been tugged this way and that, always something new to discover, or else something new to research in the endless encyclopedia I was left with. I had no reason to look at my own body beyond what was necessary to keep it clean.
But now I’m sitting here, and it stares me in the face. Emphasized by my position, my stomach rises up and over my waistband, forming a soft mass that spills slightly over my sides.
“Oh,” I say out loud. I run a hand over this new pudge that probably isn’t new at all, startling slightly at the texture of it. Soft. Yielding. Slightly cold from the water evaporating on it. I touch my body like it isn’t my own, because for a long, long time, it wasn’t. I touch it the way Rocky touched me once he finally had the option to, committing everything to memory, matching it to what he already knew.
/////
Or: In the two years that he spent on Erid, Grace has changed in just about every way imaginable. But one way in particular feels more significant than the rest.

Summary
Complete! <3 (Edits made Feb 2024, bonus story added August 2024)
The Black family and the Potter family grew-up spending their summers at neighboring lake houses a few hours off the East Coast. Then one summer, James Potter stopped coming. Regulus can admit he was a little disappointed when his first crush suddenly disappeared from his life. But it's been seven years. He's clearly over it.
That is until his last summer before starting college, when that same golden-skinned boy steps out of the car, grown and beautiful, and crashes back into Regulus' world.

Summary
Once upon a time, Remus Lupin was in love.
An unassuming thing. Unspoken. Trapped in longing glances and pages of poems traded like secrets.
When cold waters buried the future that could’ve been, Remus withdrew from the world. He grieved in silence, resigning himself to a life of solitude.
Until one day, someone knocks on his door, and Remus finds himself staring at the one man he’s never expected to meet again.
The one man who has the potential to be his ruination.
Or his salvation.
Regulus Arcturus Black.***
“Remus.” Regulus’ voice trembles with barely suppressed emotion.
“Why did you come here?”
“I—I was hoping I could talk to you.”
Remus laughs, sharp and without any warmth. “The dead don’t talk.”Bookmarked by regulus_cannot_swim

Summary
Regulus is just trying to get through school so he can move on to be the best figure skater ever, he doesn't want or need any type of relationships besides the friendship he has with his roommate Remus Lupin, but when his instructor recommends him for a job teaching figure skating basics to the hockey team, Regulus has to deal with a bunch of stupid puckers messing up the perfect system that is his life. He never expected to see his brother again after he ran away from home, or to have to teach a brother who doesn't even recognise him, much less fall for his brother's best friend.
