Unforgiving Current, Unforgetting Moon

At 14, Regulus Black made an unexpected friend in Remus Lupin.At 16, losing Remus almost hurt worse than losing Sirius.at 18, He hopes he hasn't burned that bridge completely to ashes.Or where Regulus and Remus become friends in hogwarts, have a falling out when reg takes the dark mark, and then meet again and fake their deaths to go horcrux hunting together during the war.

This fic with go back and forth between multiple POVs and timelines. The timelines will be the past (Hogwarts) and the present (the war). Remus and Regulus will have the most "screen time", so to speak, and will have POVs from both past and present, which I will keep clearly separated by dates at the beginning of every change and the change between past and present words in the writing style. Sirius will have a fair number of parts in the present and a few in the past, and James, Lily, and Peter will each have the occasional part in the present only. This is first and foremost a Platonic Moonwater fic.I don't know how many chapters this will actually end up being, 30 is just an estimate, with each chapter being around 5k words, also an estimate. I'll try to post between 2-4 times a month, but I've got a lot of shit going on right now and I also won't push myself to the point of burnout like I have before, so if I can't post more than 1 chapter on some months, then I simply won't.Lastly, the tags weren't kidding when I said this is going to be heavy on the angst. Absolutely gutting. There will be death and violence. There will be discussions of death and violence and war. Half of this fic is happening during a war afterall. I'll put warnings in the beginnings of chapters where any minor characters die or the chapters that detail any child abuse from either brothers' POV, and anything else that I think might be unexpected or too heavy to just throw at you, but past this point I won't be putting warnings for violence, discussions of death, or grief/mourning, as they'll be in every single chapter.
