Note
This fic deals heavily with themes of childhood trauma and abuse — both past and its lingering effects. While I will include major trigger/content warnings for graphic or explicitly described scenes, please know that the entire story is built on these themes and explores their emotional, psychological, and academic aftermath.Read with care, and take breaks when needed. Your wellbeing comes first. ♡(you can expect weekly updates, but honestly that might not happen. i have a couple chapters prewritten because i always get stressed out, ergo, i lose motivation in the fic because it doesnt become fun anymore. I AM DETERMINED FOR THIS TO BE ONE OF MY, LIKE, THREE FINISHED FICS)ALSOOO since this might get a bit confusing, here is some info, mainly so you guys can get the vibes down yk Regulus Black – a child psychologist/trauma researcher (Oxford PhD, basically the kid genius turned adult who’s changing the field)Barty Crouch Jr. – Getting his masters in biochemistryEvan Rosier – Photographer, specifically working with Dorcas on her fashion linePandora Rosier - Kindergarten teacher, bookstore ownerDorcas Meadowes – high-end fashion designerLily Evans – a badass pediatric nurse Sirius Black - graphic designerRemus Lupin - high-school english professorPeter Pettigrew - Educational assistant/school councillorJames Potter - high-school physical ed. teacher
