    Summary

    Evan “Buck” Buckley was not an honest person as much as he would like to be or even was trying to be in his own way. His dishonesty wasn’t malicious in the slightest though. He had his reasons, of course, but his entire identity was built on a shaky Jenga tower of lies. As much as he built it up, one by one the blocks were still removed over the years making the tower less and less stable.

    Buck joined the 118 fresh out of the Navy and braced himself for all the questions that were about to come his way which he did not want to answer. Then, like a gift from above, somehow and shockingly, no one had read his resume, and he found he could start all over again, be a new person, someone completely different or maybe who he was supposed to be all along.

    Summary

    Regulus Black writes award winning albums about his love life, and he's finally over his last relationship enough to release the songs he swore were 'too personal.' The world speculates about who this secret ex-boyfriend may be, while Regulus struggles not to make eye contact with James Potter from across the room while he rehashes the pain of their relationship in song form. The title hits a little too close to home for the both of them, and the fame of the album sends them both spiraling, possibly back into each other's arms.

    Summary

    Complete <3

    The Black Apothecary lies just on the border of Hogsmeade. Wizards and witches near and far come to stock their potions from Regulus’ shop. And business is good.

    At the start of a new term, professors stop in for their needs, his brother and Remus included. But it’s an almost forgotten familiar face made new that makes today special, when a grown James Potter comes into the shop requesting something rather unusual. A potion to calm his heart and head. A request James would very much like to keep between the two of them. A business proposal. A secret.

    As Regulus tries different iterations of the potion James requested, the two start to grow close through session after session of failed potions with strange effects. Regulus starts to fear the potion James needs is an impossible task, and that he will fail his new friend in his promise to help him.

    Or, Regulus and James try a bunch of weird potions and fall in love in the process.

    Ahhhh, omg this was so cute and fluffy. Potion master Regulus and professor James, as well as a little bit of professor regulus for when remus is off on full moons. Adore there dynamic with the potions for James, there is a bit of internalised homophonia trauma dumps but they aren't to dragged out. Perfect fic to get me out of a reading slump.

    The story switches POVs a lot but the characters are developed really well but it can be frustrating when it changes to a side character. Kill your darlings as you say. Ships are great, love the Jegulus in this, they are a bit on and off but best characterisation of rosekiller love them.

    Summary

    The team discover an Instagram account based on what the public has overheard from their calls. Hen and Chim become amateur detectives in their quest to uncover the the context of every quote, but this becomes difficult when it's increasingly clear they've been left in the dark about something.

     

    Based on the account @Overheard_LA and me deciding with all the insane things that the 118 say on calls, someone should be recording them for posterity.

     

    EDIT: This fic is now a MULTI_MEDIA FIC!!! I recommend if you've already read to just scroll through and look at the masterpiece fake Instagram screenshots. It is screen reader accessible.
