Summary
Regulus Black has not seen his older brother in seven years. He's perfectly accepted the fact that he'd been abandoned to the wrath of their parents and is content to be in a world in which he never has to see Sirius again.
They both got out, eventually. What does it matter that it wasn't together?
Regulus has his own life, now, a best-friend-slash-flatmate that he would die and kill for and a job at a planetarium that he loves. He's sure that his brother is off living happily somewhere; so there is really no need for their paths to intersect.
Fate, in the form of two concert tickets and a flatmate with a celebrity crush, has other plans.

Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
Sam has been struggling with depression since Stanford. Well, not really struggling. Excelling. He's been excelling at depression since Stanford, and it's only gotten worse since he started hunting again. Unfortunately, the relapses from John's death and Dean's trip to Hell were bad, but they had nothing on the downward spiral triggered by Sam starting the Apocalypse.
But Sam has never come clean before, and he isn't about to start. He's self-medicating, he's suppressing, and he's handling things in the Trademark Winchester Way. He can do this. He can totally do this.
Spoiler: No, he can't.
