    Summary

    “You’re here.” Regulus said, staring at James from the gap in the propped open door.

    James smirked, leaning against the side of the doorframe, as he said “That I am, Reg. You gonna let me in?”

    Regulus opened the door the rest of the way, grabbing James’ wrist and pulling him into the apartment. He crowded James against the door before being pulled into a kiss.

    Summary

    But Neil — oh Neil, useless as he is pretty, seems to have no idea that clothing can be anything other than another tool to make himself invisible. Andrew will just have to help him along, which is why he sends Nicky to dress him the first time they decide to bring Neil to Columbia. Neil is full of lies and paranoia, hiding under his drabness. Andrew intends to drag his true colors out.

    Summary

    Predictably, Neil’s automated voicemail message answers for him. The number you’re trying to reach is unavailable at this time. The message runs through its spiel, informing Andrew that he can leave a message after the beep.

    Goodbye hovers on his tongue. It’s the least that Neil deserves from him. There are so many more things to be said.

    Andrew shuts his phone without leaving a voicemail. He drops his phone onto the counter and slips a knife out of its sheath.

    Right before spring break during his fourth year at Palmetto, Andrew Minyard attempts suicide. Now everyone has to figure out how to move forward from here.

    Summary

    "Andrew doesn't have friends," Aaron says. Blurts, really—loud and undignified and not what he meant to say. But like a bandaid from a too-fresh wound, it tears him open. "He has things. He just doesn't like that his things"—he makes a maliciously sarcastic set of air quotes—"play nicely together without him."

    If Andrew had been carved from marble, he might have been livelier. Every inch of him now is stone, from the hard set of his jaw to the tension bunching in his thighs.

    "I'm right, aren't I?" Aaron continues. There's something dangerous in him, howling down every synapse and nerve fiber until he's shaking with it. He doesn't have it in him to leash it; not today, not freshly off the high of a potential future built on want and not binding contracts. "You can't stand that you're not in control anymore, that we might not need you."

    "You don't need me," Andrew says, voice gravel.

    "Isn't it enough to want you?" Andrew's eyes go wide, but Aaron isn't finished. "Jesus, don't you get it? It's enough for your pet striker, so why can't it be enough for your own goddamn brother?"

    Summary

    He glances up as if he can feel someone looking at him and Andrew is assaulted by a pair of unnaturally blue eyes. They seem cold and distant, a silent challenge for Andrew to do—something, but Andrew doesn’t know what.

    All he can think is that the boy is dangerously pretty. The idea of asking him to go into the alleyway between Eden’s and the bar next door for a quickie flits through his mind before the boy scoffs and rolls his eyes.

    “Can I help you?”

    Summary

    “I don’t know what I believe anymore,” Regulus admits, voice barely audible. “I used to, and it was so much easier. There was one right path, one set of rules. Given to me by my mother, my church, my God. They all told me what to do, how to act, what to want.” He exhales, shaky. “Then my brother left and everything got muddled and… lonely.”

    “That’s just life, love,” James says gently. “It gets quite muddled and lonely at times.”

    “And how do I fix it?”

    James chuckles. “If you find out, do let me know, yeah?”

    Or

    Regulus Black wants to have a normal university experience, which seems impossible as the son of controversial far-right politician Walburga Black, and only gets more complicated when James Potter enters his life.

    Summary

    Grief, James finds, is circular.

    --
    “Does it get better?” He whispered once he had cried himself out and the tears had dried tightly on his face.

     

    “Better?” She repeated, and there was something anguished in her voice, a new and old grief twisted up together. “No.” Effie said, and Sirius’s heart dropped, but she quickly continued. “Though, it gets easier. Eventually, you’ll wake up and it won’t be your first thought every morning. It won’t shock you every time you remember that he's gone. There’s nothing better about losing somebody you love that much, but time will take the sharpness, and get you used to his absence. You’ll live the good parts of your life. You’ll get married, and have a family if that’s what you want. Whatever you desire, you’ll build it. And you’ll miss him for the rest of your life Sirius, but one day you’ll wake up and realize you lived through it.”

     

    “What if I don’t want to live through it?” Sirius asked, his voice small.

    Summary

    Many mornings, he wakes up to their white bedsheets and thinks of fresh snow, of Shiro, of Gojo’s hair. Often it ends with Kuro barking for his partner, alerting him that his owner is in distress. More so than usual, at this point.

    Even now, in his own body, the sensations are foreign. With Sukuna inadvertently pulling the strings for so long, playing him like a useless marionette until he had fallen apart and been tossed aside. It was an experience that no one else could understand or sympathize with. Nobody but Yuuji, he supposed.

    Megumi avoids mirrors. He refuses to see the marks in which Sukuna left behind, the scars that tell a story he never wants to hear again. It makes him feel sick knowing that they are even there, that they occupy the better half of his face. Certain days it’s nearly impossible not to pick at them, to wiggle his nails underneath the sensitive edges and press until his fingertips are splayed crimson. Throughout his youth, he had never once appreciated the proper pleasures of having a clear face and an unexplored soul.

    tldr; Megumi recovers from the aftermath of Shinjuku.

    Summary

    James Potter was pretty sure he had it all figured out. His face was on billboards, shampoo and razor ads, and life was basically golden. Romance? Well, that part was a little slower, at least until a random text from an unknown number landed in his inbox. Regulus, definitely hadn’t meant to text him, he wasn’t exactly looking for anything except his class assigned work partner...
    But one message turned into two, then ten, then late-night conversations and inside jokes. James wasn’t planning to fall for a stranger behind a screen... but then again, nothing about Regulus felt like a mistake.

    or,

    [9:11 pm] Regulus
    everyone smells like beer
    and they were obsessed with this one Potter guy

    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.

    (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.)
