    Summary

    A small interaction between Regulus and Euphemia before his fifth year at Hogwarts alters the trajectory of his life. Asked to watch out for Regulus, James finds himself readily falling for him as they spend more time together. It can never be that simple though- the Black's expectations and dysfunction grasp onto the younger boy relentlessly, and the raging war outside the doors of Hogwarts moves closer to them every day.

    Dealing with the hardships and traumas of their reality, the question remains: how far are they willing to go for one another?

    Following the boys from their final years of Hogwarts into their roles during the First Wizarding War, this is a long fic exploring the depths of their devotion. It deals with sensitive topics so please be mindful of the tags; there is a comprehensive note at the start of the fic detailing warnings. Eventual happily ever after (it's a long ride).

    Summary

    “This is a really bad idea, Barty.”

    Barty hums, nose brushing against Evan’s. Despite his words, his hand found its way to the back of Barty’s neck, keeping him close.

    “Then tell me to stop.”

    “You know I won’t."

    Evan moves back from France to England after over a decade with very little expectations. He’s never really had any friends and he’s used to people stepping out of his life—why would this time be any different? He’s ready to spend his remaining years at high school alone. Luckily for Evan, a few people don’t seem to let him.

    Summary

    “Wh– well– why–” James stammered, attempting to get his bearings, because if he didn’t, and he let Regulus tell him ‘kiss me’ one more time, his heart would probably give out. “Why don’t you get Sirius to help?”

    Regulus narrowed his eyes. “Because Sirius would just knock his teeth out,” he said as though it were obvious.

    “Yes,” James hissed, “and he’ll knock my teeth out if I kiss his little brother.”

    “You can take a hit, Potter, I’ve seen you on the quidditch pitch,” Regulus waved him off, and James groaned, leaning away from him.

    “Oh, yeah, great, so I’m the sacrifice,” he sighed.

    “Precisely,” Regulus stepped right into his space, and James felt his chest go a little hot.

    ---

    Or, Regulus asks James for a favor to get his ex off of his back, and James makes bad choices.
