Fics like Let Loose Your Longing

Pettigrew holds the glass out to him, swirls it slightly and draws his attention back up. Urges Regulus to hydrate, as his brother had ordered when entrusting him to look after Regulus. "Easy," Pettigrew murmurs when Regulus nearly chokes, thirstier than he realized. He's closer than he was a moment ago. Watching intently. Something very bad is going to happen. Regulus is sinking. Something dark and heavy and foreboding rattles through him, the same gut feeling he stubbornly wrote off on his way here. Hands shaking, he lifts the glass to his nose and inhales. Smells nothing. But there's a barely perceptible oiliness slicking his mouth, like the tap-water in Dorcas' home. Conjured water doesn't do that. "What is this?" Regulus croaks, staring down at the glass, then back at Pettigrew. A foreign wave of fatigue crashes over him. Horror closes in. "What did you do?" Or: when an attempt at reconciliation between brothers ends in ruin, the aftermath of the wreckage reveals the fractured foundation underneath. For Regulus, survival and destruction are one and the same. But for James? It means something else entirely.
