come as you are

Despite the surname, Regulus has done everything to successfully fly under the radar during his first five years at Hogwarts. He has one friend, spends all his free time with his nose in a book or doing his homework in the library, and his only ambition in life is to open his own bookstore after graduating from Hogwarts.Regulus loves his quiet, boring life. Then James Potter seems to remember he exists at the beginning of his sixth year, and his quiet life is, albeit with good intentions, shattered in a classic Marauder Storm.

even after all this time, i still can't write fic summaries and i hate myself for itBUT! i've somehow managed to write an almost entirely cute, happy, tooth-rotting fluffy and sweet story instead of my usual gloomy heartbreak. don't ask how it happened, all you need to know is it spiralled from the sudden obsession with ravenclaw regulus and voila!the inspiration for this story came from another fic called it's a masquerade, darling by chubbypanda15. so pls go check out their fic if you like harry/tom riddle stuff! :)the only trigger warning in this fic is past child abuse (of course, i'm writing about the black family). but do not fear! even from the very beginning of the story, regulus and sirius are out of grimmauld place <3hope you enjoy!
