    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    “I’ve never had a problem sharing my friends!” James argues.

    Remus’s lips twitch, but he maintains his neutral expression. “Is that what Regulus is to you? A friend?”

    “Of course, he’s my friend! I adore him, you know that.”

    “We do,” Remus agrees patiently. He has his teacher’s voice on, and James fears he’s being led into some Socratic thought experiment. “It’s just… Don’t you think you might adore him a little too much?”

    Or

    James and Regulus are the perfect roommates, but everything changes when Regulus brings a guy home. Truths are unveiled and feelings are confronted.

    Summary

    "Baby Black, do you maybe not hate me?" James joked in a way that made Regulus feel uncomfortable.
    "You are the most annoying person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. And that says a lot considering the absolute gems I've met in Slytherin."
    "A joke. Regulus Black made a joke. A mean one, at my expense, but a joke nonetheless... You know baby Black, we could be friends."
    "I would rather fling myself off the Astronomy Tower..."

    ***
    Or: Regulus is concerned about Sirius after their mother orchestrates a horrible attack. And with Sirius out of reach he relies on James Potter to know his brother is okay. Except their meetings keep happening, and their conversations keep falling away from Sirius. Falling for James Potter might just be the most reckless thing he's ever contemplated.
