Summary
Evan and Barty have been best friends since the age of three. Now they're sixteen, at Hogwarts, surrounded by couples. They joke about it - a lot - but at a certain point, when is it a joke and when is it a desire?
On top of a sexuality crisis and family issues, Evan has to deal with another feeling, or rather feelings. For his best friend.
And while his best friend seems to pull away from him, Barty tries everything in his power to keep Evan in his life. They're best friends after all, right? Just friends. Ha.
*Some chapters will discuss homophobia or family issues but I always give trigger warnings

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.

No one, it turns out, really knows one another.
(OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)

Summary
Theo says, voice like a glacier, "I'm warning you now, I'm not dying for you."
Liam fixes his gaze on him. Theo's eyes are doing something complicated, wavering between gray and green and blue. "I'm not dying for you, either."
That's not all. There's more left unspoken on the hill of Liam's tongue, something he sees in the blaze of Theo's look, too, as Theo runs his gaze down Liam's battered body and back up to his face. A silent agreement: but I will fight with you.
--
Or: The Hunger Games AU where the Games are always rigged for the hunters to slaughter the wolves, and Liam's only fighting chance at life may be faking a relationship with Hayden for the cameras--and relying on the loner chimera Theo Raeken who can't seem to stop saving his life in the arena.

Summary
“They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
“Rock and roll.”
He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
“Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.
(genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)
