« If you’d asked her three years ago what she’d end up as, she might’ve said, oh, dead. Or, living it up in Jackson with my fake dad. Three years ago, the last words out of her mouth would have been bowed, and carved. »

Summary
Avoiding Will has always been a problem, because Will is everywhere.
He is in his real life, in his D&D campaigns, on his walls, in the Upside Down, and he’s trampled all over Mike’s heart so many times there are grooves made from Will Byers’ footprints.
He is at the heart of the fear Mike hosts in his body. Will is Mike’s own, personal Mind Flayer.
Yes, avoiding Will has always been a problem.
But so has wanting him.

That, perhaps, they were looking for theirs.

Fifty Shades of Black by ThisLiminalSpace, veryinnovative
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
05 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
It’s the way James looks, the way he moves, the way he speaks—so confident. So strong. So utterly unbreakable. No one has ever looked at Regulus the way James does. Like someone who could take it. Regulus’ storms and wildfires, his crashing mood swings and his jagged cliffs. No one has ever looked at him like he’s someone capable of unraveling, and James is just there, curious to see what might spill out.
James looks like he could take anything Regulus throws at him, and so far, he has never disappointed.
| Or: Regulus is an inexperienced dominant who agrees to take James as his very experienced submissive. Again.

Summary
“You write like a drunk pigeon,” James says, turning the paper to the side and squinting. “Seriously, aren’t noble people supposed to know how to write?”
Regulus steals the scroll back, rolls it, and wacks him on the head with it. “Shut it,” he says, so James drops the subject and eyes the scroll instead.
“What’s this, then? Are we conjuring the devil?”
Regulus kisses his teeth. “I have… rules.”
“No kidding,” he deadpans.
--
Prompt 63: When James won’t shut up about how he could get with anyone he wants, Sirius challenges him to a bet: if James can persuade Sirius’ ice cold younger brother Regulus to go out with James on three dates, Sirius will do all of James’ homework for a full term.

Looks just like a big horse to me by ThisLiminalSpace for veryinnovative
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Regulus opens his front door to the strangest event.
--
The stag has settled under Remus' touch now that he seems to have understood no one is pulling out a butcher’s knife and gutting it open. It is observing all of this with very curious, glassy, judgemental eyes.
Regulus glares at it. “Don’t look at me like this, my dude. You’re the one who tried to die.”
The stag, if possible, narrows its eyes. Then bleats in Remus’ face in complaint.
“Shh, you dumb beast,” Remus soothes.

Summary
‘If he allows for any mercy, ask to go back home,’ Remus had said.
So mercy isn’t Hades’ forte, and Regulus should want to go back home. Except… well, this is kind of nice. Mind quiet from his mother’s influence, closer to his brother. Feeling a little less like something is looking over his shoulder, observing him. He feels wonderfully mundane here.
or; Persephone and Hades’ story.

Summary
“Do you want me to leave?”
It takes Regulus longer than he would like to speak the truth. “No.”
James nods slowly. Lifts his mug to his lips again, and seems to mull it over.
“I see. But you are afraid that my presence is conditional to something you must give me.”

Summary
Sirius’s last word to James were, “I will bury your heart.”
He thinks—perhaps he lied, because there are shards of James’s heart embedded everywhere in Sirius. He’s been pulling pieces out for years. They appear in mysterious places, at mysterious times.
It’s harder than people think, to let go.
-OR-
Regulus might have been born to defy the Gods, but James was born to spite them.

Summary
Hermione knows the moment he enters the Arena, because the crowd goes insane. He’s walking, head high, shoulders straight, ready for battle.
He doesn’t acknowledge the crowd, doesn’t acknowledge anything.
His eyes shoot up to the balcony, quick and perfunctory, and he— stumbles. Actually stumbles, eyes wide when he sees her.
And then.
Murderous.
To her horror, she realizes why the crowd has been so loud. Why the Arena is full. Why she’s been brought here.

Summary
They're a parade of laughter and chatter, and they’re all holding various things—a red box, food, drinks, games, and is that an inflatable mattress?—that all very quickly find their place. Levi’s freshly wiped surfaces are now covered in Christmas, extra color everywhere as they all make themselves at home.
“I’m having a Christmas party?”
Hange's response is a rich, hearty laugh that resonates through the room.

Summary
The door shuts them in, and Regulus bangs his head, a little too hard, against the fridge door. He thinks he disassociates for a minute. He’s not handcuffed to the fridge handle to the man who easily destroyed his entire life a little less than a year ago. He’s not in Sirius’ house. Sirius hasn’t pushed water in their direction with a motherfucking broom, and in fact, none of this is happening at all.
He’s quite content to keep his forehead on the white fridge, one magnet digging into the right side of his head.
“Regu—”
“No.”
Regulus cannot hear his voice, and certainly cannot handle his name being pronounced the way James pronounces his name.
