[Sirius/Severus] Black and White

The third-generation Dark Lord, who turns dark later on, Sirius Black x Harry Potter, the White Lord, who loses all hope later on

I will not accept any rebuttals about Dumbledore being evil or the theory that he conspired to start the war. In my heart, Dumbledore is the best grandpa there is, bar none. If you can't accept this basic premise, please leave.

This story does not target any Hogwarts house.

The terms Dark Lord and White Lord refer only to magical attributes.

The story uses parallel timelines, so it may be a little mind-bending.

Warning: Important characters die in different timelines, possibly more than once.

Later, there will be a first-generation Dark Lord chasing his love after losing him, as well as Wolfstar, Grindelwald/Dumbledore, and other ships.

The characters' names are written in English because the different translations used in various editions always feel jarring to me when I read them. Some less familiar names may pose a slight obstacle to reading, but since the original names are transliterations too, that obstacle should, perhaps, be negligible. Still, I think having the protagonists' names feel jarring throughout the entire story would be even worse. So, all things considered, I use English names almost exclusively in this fanfic.

As for the claim that I'm using English to pad the word count... This story isn't even behind a paywall. I genuinely don't understand what word count I'm supposed to be padding.

If you really can't accept or read the English names, please stop reading here.
