    Summary

    It started as a joke. A spell. A prank designed to make Regulus Black sing his secrets in rhyme.

    What came out of his mouth changed everything.

    He was supposed to cry. Embarrass himself. Maybe admit to a crush, or confess he’d stolen someone’s shampoo. What they got instead was scripture. Hymns. Verses no seventeen-year-old should know by heart. Hands that trembled. Eyes that didn’t blink. A smile stretched too wide across a face too pale. And a truth none of them were ready to hear.

    They thought he was just quiet. Disciplined. Cold. They didn’t see the scars.

    Now the spell is broken, the library is in chaos, and Regulus is sobbing on the floor, praying like his soul depends on it. Maybe it does. Maybe it always has.

    And maybe—finally—someone will listen.

    A story about cruelty mistaken for piety, obedience mistaken for peace, and a boy who tried to become a saint so his parents would love him.

    He thought he was being saved.
    He was surviving.

    Regulus discovers himself after the end of his relationship that was the center of his life for years.

    Summary

    There's something blazingly incongruous about Remus in the wintertime. He's golden: sunshine and honeybees, caramel curls and freckles like dappled sunlight. Even his clothes seem borrowed, and temporary, as if he might've just thrown on an extra layer for a moment in the knowledge that his own innate aestival nature would be quite enough to stave off the worst of the chill. Something at home in long balmy nights, and mornings when the gardens teem with life and song. Wonderfully out of place in the winter: a happy visitor to the season, an ember in the frost.

    Christmastime in the Cotswolds: cold hands, crackling fires, and Remus's indefatigable quest for parsnips.
