    Summary

    At the beginning of the Hogwarts 1977-1978 school year, James Potter finds a cat and Regulus Black finds a Horcrux.

    These events are not unrelated.

    What follows is a deal to their mutual benefit: James helps Regulus hone the finer details of advanced transfiguration, and in return, Regulus teaches James what he knows of occlumency and legilimency. James is pleasantly surprised by how much he enjoys their lessons, certainly more than he thought he would considering what (admittedly little) he knows of Sirius’s younger brother. Regulus, for his part, thought he was smart enough to know that anyone with as many secrets as him has no business teaching fucking mind reading to another person. Especially when that person is James Potter.

    There is affection—the kind that only comes from meeting someone who you never expected to understand you. And there is war—a looming thunderhead that neither of them wants to see consume the other.

    The rest is a matter of secrets, family, and letting go.

    Summary

    James’s life is pathetic. He doesn’t have adrenaline to it until he accidentally steps into a club owned by Regulus Black (his ex-boyfriend), Barty Crouch Jr. (his deepest fantasy), and Evan Rosier (his first kiss). One night changes everything as James is pulled into a chaotic, intoxicating whirlwind of desire, teasing, and unexpected intimacy. What starts as curiosity quickly turns into surrender, leaving James questioning everything he thought he knew about pleasure, trust, and belonging.

    Summary

    In Regulus’s defense, he doesn’t mean to turn James Potter into a vampire.

    His plans are much simpler than that. He only intends to abduct the boy who has led his brother astray, have some fun torturing him for a week or two, kill him, then dump the body on Sirius’s doorstep. Maybe carve ‘from RAB, with love’ on his chest for dramatic effect.

    See? A nice, straightforward plan.

    Or

    Regulus Black’s immortal life is derailed by one James Potter.

    Summary

    "An offer? What offer?"

    “Lily is making her own side of the war, she doesn’t trust Dumbledore either."

    “A third side to the war?"

    “I thought we were the third side?”

    “Fourth side really.”

    “No, Reg started this side first, so really they would be the fourth side.”

    “Wait, Lily when did you start your plan for all this?”

    “I-“

    “Well she spoke to me about it just over a week ago.”

    “So we are the third side? Ha!"

     

    Or what happens in a war when there's just a little bit of forced communication.
