Summary
College was supposed to be a fresh start. The Party is scattered across nearby campuses, close enough to pretend nothing has changed. Will is finally happy or at least trying to be with his new boyfriend, Carlton. Mike tells himself he doesn’t care. He tells himself a lot of things.
Between shared houses, crowded college parties, and a friend group that never really learned how to separate, they keep falling into familiar patterns: late nights, quiet check-ins, and Mike noticing things he probably shouldn’t anymore. Everything Mike thought he understood about himself starts to unravel. Some realizations come too late. Some feelings refuse to stay buried.
And some feelings don’t fade just because you pretend they have.

Summary
Will finds an old spellbook and decides to try out a spell with no name.
It backfires almost immediately.----
Will drops his hand from Mike’s shoulder, mouth opening to answer, but before he can speak, Mike’s own hand shoots out, clutching Will’s firmly.
Will freezes, mouth dropping open. If his face wasn’t already a little pink, it definitely was now.
“Don’t leave me, Will…” Mike murmurs, pulling himself closer against Will before he can even stand properly.
Will hears Lucas mutter something incomprehensible– something like, “Dude, what the fuck?”- but it barely registers. Mike’s entire weight is pressed against him, sucking up any coherent thoughts.
“M-Mike, what are you doing?” Will asks, voice tight, panic creeping in and heart hammering in his ears.
Mike doesn’t answer, he just buries his face into Will’s neck, sighing shakily.
Will’s mind races. What kind of spell could have done this? What had he actually just cast?
“Love spell,” He says into the air, unsure if anyone was still listening.
“I hit him with a fucking love spell.”

Summary
What would happen if Will Byers was never found during the events of Stranger Things season 1? How would he survive the upside down? How would the people of Hawkins react?
Will breathed in a ragged breath. Black smoke poured from his mouth as he tore himself free from the wall. He collapsed forward, coughing and gasping on the cold, moist floor.
His heart pounded in his ears as he shakily scrambled to his feet. Eyes darting around the abyss, he started to run. And he ran, and ran, and ran.
His feet pounded on the ground when suddenly he found himself on a familiar path. Finally, something familiar. Will sprinted through the woods, as a feeling of hope filtered its way through the panic. He was getting there, he was gonna be safe, it was finally within reach.
Castle Byers.
The pain in his chest and legs screamed at him to rest, but he couldn't risk stopping. He pushed himself further, calves aching with each step. Suddenly, a loud screech echoed through the air from somewhere up ahead.
Will skidded to a stop as the monster moved on the path ahead. It was in the way, standing between him and safety.Bookmarked by Ilchen

The Way You Look At Me (Too Close To Resist) by Courtsorcererlol

Summary
“Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard,” came the cheery voice of the conductor, Stan Shunpike, who blinked at Regulus with wide, startled eyes. “Blimey, mate, you look like—”
“The Potter’s house,” Regulus rasped, his voice hoarse and trembling. He shoved a handful of Sickles into Stan’s hand before collapsing onto the nearest seat.
Stan stared for a moment but said nothing. The bus jolted into motion, sending Regulus sprawling against the window. He didn’t care. The world outside blurred into streaks of color, and for the first time in hours, days, fucking weeks he allowed himself to breathe.
The pain throbbed with each beat of his heart, but he ignored it. He pressed his forehead against the cool glass, his gray eyes vacant as he stared at the night rushing past. The Potters. He was going to the Potters.
To Sirius.

That's Just Wasteland, Baby! by lovefromsunlight for suckerforstars
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
25 Sep 2024

Summary
They say every villain is the hero of their own story.
Regulus Black believes this to be false. He is an anomaly to this rule, he is an outlier, because not only is he a villain to everyone around him, he’s also a villain to himself. When Regulus finds a bright, burning reminder of his past in his estranged brother, Sirius Black, he decides to chase this star from within the shadows. There's only one way to do this, however. He shamelessly uses his replacement, James Potter.
But what starts as a means to an end, turns into an entanglement of romance between the most unlikely of matches; the boy who seeks refuge in shadow, and the boy who glitters in the sunlight. It's no surprise that Regulus can’t help but root himself further into tragedy, corroding everything his touch meets.
Why?
Because his life is a wasteland. And, "That's just wasteland, baby."
Or: Barista Regulus meets Florist James.

A Full Guide To Gardening For Amateurs by aphrsditea
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
05 Sep 2022

Summary
The first rule in gardening is: choose the right spot. The plants need neutrally rich soil, a sufficient access to clean water and a much-needed supply of sunlight.
The second rule is: Don't be James Potter. Because his hands are cursed - flowers die under his supervision or so he thinks. That brings him to the door of his moody neighbour who doesn't seem to like him very much: Regulus.
FUCK JKR

Summary
“You wanted to talk,” James starts when Regulus blurts out, “You’re dying.”
“Dying?” James asks with the wonder of a child tasting a new treat at a fair.

When Regulus breaks up with James Potter to save his career, he believes he’s doing the right thing.
Until an accident on the Quidditch pitch makes him realize how incredibly wrong he was. But at this point, it might already be too late to fix his mistake.
Because a human life can sputter out faster than a butterfly flaps its wings.Series

Summary
Regulus didn’t mean to. He swears he didn’t. In fact, he’d argue this isn’t even his fault. It’s James’ fault. He should have never shown up at the Astronomy Tower that night. He should have never looked at him with those beautiful brown eyes and begged Regulus to make him sleeping potions.
Regulus should have pushed harder for a reason. He should have fought harder to say no. But come on, who can say no to James Potter when he’s quite literally on his knees begging for something? Regulus sure can’t.
So when he accidentally switches up the sleeping potion with the amortentia he was brewing for class?
OR
Regulus accidentally gives James amortentia. Chaos ensues.

Summary
James was naturally a touchy person, but Regulus wasn’t. Truth be told, Regulus couldn’t remember the last time someone touched him so gently; it made him want to gnaw off his foot like a trapped animal, just as badly as it made him want to curl into the touch like a lost child.
or
Regulus didn't know he was touch starved until James started touching him.

Summary
“Whatever, Rosier. Believe what you want. I couldn’t care less about Potter.” Regulus spat.
“Good. Don’t waste your time. You know as well as I do that The James Potter doesn’t date anyone. He's gorgeous, obviously, but apparently no one here is good enough for him,” Evan scoffed. “Seven years at Hogwarts and the star quidditch player hasn’t found anyone worthy of his presence.”
_____In which Regulus has had a crush on one James Fleamont Potter since he was eleven years old, and James is a lovable, oblivious idiot who platonically kisses people when he's happy/excited. James kisses Regulus in a moment of excitement, chaos and pining ensues.
