    Summary

    Harry had always been strange, as the Dursleys delighted in telling him. His hair was too wild, his eyes too green, his ears too sharp. Until he looked in the Mirror of Erised, he'd never seen anyone who looked like him. And then he fell through it, and found a whole world of things he'd never seen, and people who would not accept that he didn't belong in it.

    OR

    An exploration of family, and belonging, and being not entirely one thing nor another.

    Summary

    “If you’re going to kill me,” the boy wheezed, “I want your name.” Sirius froze.

    The boy’s voice was hoarse but steady. His mouth was bloodied, nose smeared red. His chest rose and fell in ragged pulls. But his eyes—those warm, steady eyes—were locked onto Sirius like he could see him. Not just his face, but his soul.

    “I’m James.”

    ~~~

    When the sea calls, it does not whisper. It drags.

    Sirius and Regulus Black are sons of the infamous pirate lord, Blackbeard. When their crew attacks a merchant ship and Sirius leaves a survivor, the tide shifts. That survivor is James Potter, bound for a quiet life in Kingston. But safety is a lie the sea does not tolerate, and destiny has charted him a darker course. With him, Lily Evans plays the part high society demands of her—despite being something else entirely. Her best friend, Remus Lupin, masters his craft in a stifling forge that cannot contain his heart—or his temper.

    They were five souls adrift—until the sea pulled them under. When the wind whispers, when a pirate prince chooses ruin over rescue, when the descendant is called home—everything they thought they knew begins to unravel.

    A Marauders pirate AU.

    Summary

    Harry had a home, once. That’s what people told him: he used to live with his mum and daddy in a cozy cottage hidden away from bad people. He didn’t remember it.
    Sirius had a house, once. Technically, he still did. But if he’d ever had a home, he didn’t remember it either.

    (Sirius after Azkaban + Harry before Hogwarts goes so hard.)
