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.

Summary
Regulus knows James Potter. The kind of music he likes, what he does in his free time, every single detail he can absorb.
James does not know him.
Sirius has made sure of that, keeping his mentally unwell brother far away from the object of his obsession. Funnily enough, it's James who comes to Regulus. Well-meaning, curious with no idea what he's getting into.
The lines between love and obsession are blurry and hard to read.
“No, we’re friends now, remember? I know it hasn’t been long, but I think I’m learning you, aren’t I?”
Are you?
James had Regulus, but he didn’t know him. Regulus knew James but didn’t have him.
“Maybe you could,” was all Regulus could say in response. That was a truth. James could probably learn Regulus inside and out. Regulus would offer that if it didn’t mean breaking down the fixation—the rotting truth behind their growing relationship.

Summary
James leans over his balcony and smirks, waving as Regulus heads for his taxi. “Oh, you’re already falling in love with me.”
Regulus laughs, blowing a kiss back, mumbling to himself, “I’m going to make you wish you were dead.”
or, Regulus Black, a fiercely ambitious columnist for the Daily Prophet, dreams of serious journalism but is stuck writing lifestyle fluff. After a friend’s disastrous breakup, he pitches a daring idea: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. The experiment? Find a bloke, make him fall, and then drive him away with progressively outrageous behavior. Ten days, one article.
Across town, James Potter, a rising star at Horcrux Diamond, makes a bet that he can make anyone fall madly in love with him in ten days to secure a lucrative diamond account. A well-placed rumor leads him straight to Regulus, who's secretly on his own mission.
But with the final day approaching, both begin to wonder if their biggest challenge might be letting each other go.

Summary
“Do you swear it?” Regulus looks deep into James’ eyes, waiting for the faltering, but there is none.
“I swear it,” he says, gripping Regulus’ arm tighter.
There’s a moment of silence, and then it is James who twists their arms, locking the charm in place. Not that either of them will remember it the following day, drunk as they are.————————
James and Regulus get really drunk and make an unbreakable vow. James swears that Regulus will be in love with him by the end of the year, and Regulus swears not to push him away and make him try. When they wake up the following day, they remember nothing of it. But everyone knows what happens if you don’t go through with it, so they can do nothing but try to recall and respect their drunken promises or be met by sweet old death. As if this wasn’t enough, their everyday problems seem to double by the minute. Between the vow and life as a student,
It’s about to be a hell of a year.
