    Summary

    “What?” He asks, alarmed.

    “As Sirius said, the curse has been modified to a shorter timeline.” Effie says, looking at him wearily ... "If Regulus is not married to a Pureblood within the next hour, he will die.”

    Oh.

    James stares at the clock. He can feel the tension in the room pressing in on him. No one looks at him then. They turn back to staring at Regulus quietly, watching him slowly die.

    The thought occurs to him, but he brushes it off. He’s had some stupid ideas, but this is completely ridiculous. It’s in no way an option.

    He stares at Sirius then, eyes red rimmed and face resigned with the kind of grief James knows would follow him every single day. He looks at the boy he would sell his soul in a second to protect. Then he does.

    “I’ll do it.” James says firmly.

    Summary

    “This has to be some kind of conflict of interest,” Regulus says, his lip curling at James.

    James shrugs, the idiot, “I don’t know.” His voice is weary, tired. He even looks tired, even though he’s been sleeping all day. In fact, he looks more than just a bit tired. There are deep, dark circles under his eyes, his hair is sticking up– and not in the endearing way it usually is– but simply out of control.

    He’s thinner than he used to be, and his brown skin is sallow. Regulus’ eyes catch on the two massive bandages wrapping around his arms.

    Jesus fuck.

    Regulus had no idea James was… no. He couldn’t do this right now. He was here (and had been for some time now) to figure his own shit out. Not to worry about James’ suicidal ideations. Not to mention, he hated James. So this whole thing? It wasn’t going to work.

    ___

    Or: James Potter and Regulus Black end up as roommates in the same mental hospital.

    Summary

    The pain was never going to end, it seemed like. It was ever growing. Festering deep in his chest, moving into every bone in his body. Regulus didn’t know how much more of it he could handle. He felt like he was dying. He wanted to die at this point. Death would be welcomed with open arms if it meant taking his pain away. He knew it was a bad idea from the beginning, the worst kind of idea. But James Potter had the power to make the most strong-willed person break, and break is exactly what Regulus has done. He is broken. Never to be mended again. And he has only himself to blame.

    Regulus Black knew his choices would come back to bite him in the ass. But if it meant protecting James and his brother, he would do whatever it takes.
