Summary
It’s been months since disaster struck inside the Black Family home—since everything fell apart.
Now, Regulus is on his way to, what he can confidently say is a “disaster in the making”; one, that even he believes won’t last. After the last several homes collapsing, he’s just about given up on finding, what his social worker likes to call “his forever home”.
But, at some point, he starts to believe, finding his “forever home” doesn’t quite exist. Can you even blame him?
With secrets in tow, he enters his most recent permanent placement—the Potters. Whilst he tries to navigate a new school, an unfamiliar family, and his guilt—Regulus struggles to keep his guard up. Can he trust this new family and the fragile connections he’s starting to form, or will the ghosts of his past ruin everything once again?
This is a Modern Marauders Era, High School, Foster Care AU.

Summary
In December 1977, Regulus Black did something brave. He ran.
With nothing but a wand he couldn’t use, a bag of money, and a desperate hope for survival, Regulus escaped into the muggle world mere days before his Death Eater initiation.
Against all odds, he’s taken in by three muggle artists who live loudly and love fiercely. Through them, Regulus discovers the strange, wild magic of acting. And he’s good at it. Too good.
***
Six years later, Sirius and James walk into a London cinema and see Regulus’s face, six feet tall, staring back at them from the screen.

Fortunately, when the time came. He had people to help pick up the pieces.
