Summary
An ulterior motive had rapidly taken shape in James’s mind from the minute he had first seen Regulus, and had only solidified the more time he spent with him here in this raucous, smelly, dander-filled kennel.
He liked the animals in the shelter, really. He just thought he might like their prickly caretaker more.

A modern!AU one-shot in which James, a dog person, suspects he might just be becoming a cat person after meeting Regulus, a volunteer at the local animal shelter.

Summary
Regulus knew that James was lost to him the day Lily Evans walked into his life.
It was his own fault for fancying someone who was, functionally, a straight man in all the ways that mattered. In ways that had implications for permanence, for commitment, for a future. In ways that had implications for the heart.
---
A modern!AU two-shot in which Regulus and James—whatever they are to each other—fall apart. It takes years, a broken marriage, and painful retrospection to, somehow, come back together.

Summary
Whatever James had been expecting, it was certainly not the words that came out of Regulus’s mouth next: “Will you take my virginity?”
---
Regulus Black has one goal for the summer before university: to lose his virginity. Preferably to James Potter, his older brother’s best friend who lives in the house across the street.
A modern!AU in which both Regulus and James get their way, although neither of them knows it just yet.

Summary
Regulus Black, a rising talent in the world of professional kitchens, had a plan. He would ride his ambition to become the next top chef, win his inheritance, and finally impress his parents.
What he had not accounted for, however, was how stupidly hot James Potter—his new boss, he tried to remind himself—was.
---
A modern-ish!AU, set in New York City during the peak foodie era, in which Regulus takes Sirius’s ill-advised suggestion and accepts a job as a sous chef at the restaurant owned and managed by James.
