Summary
Adam wondered who had broken Ronan’s heart. It had been so long since they’d seen each other, and Adam didn’t think he’d really have that much of a long-term effect on Ronan’s life.
He couldn’t really help the twisting feeling of jealousy making home in his chest, but he didn’t really feel good about it. It had been seven years since they’d dated. He really should be over it by now.
(And yet-)
[AKA, two high school exes run into each other after seven years and fall in love with each other all over again]

Summary
The few descriptions of the only person not identified, seen at the hotel in Monaco where the victim was found, are incredibly vague. Average height, neither slim nor big. That’s about all it amounts to.
Fabian points out the difference in hair colours, eye colours, and the lack of any sort of style in the perpetrators of the killings on Evan’s wall.
That’s where they disagree. There might be no set style. But style - flair - is something that is carried throughout. He can’t imagine the man to be as unremarkable as the police report suggests.

step into the daylight and let it go by serendipitysirius

Summary
James Potter loved Lily Evans from the moment he knew what it truly was to love anybody. But, in the end, it didn’t matter that James had declared that he would never love anyone else but Lily. Because he still lost her.
One year on from Halloween 1981, James is struggling to raise Harry alone whilst drowning in an impenetrable dark sea of grief, determined to never love again. Because, in his experience, to love, is to lose.
Luckily, Regulus Black knows quite a lot about loving and losing. And drowning, too, considering the fact that he survived the cave in 1979 and faked his death for two years, popping in to give Sirius the fright of his life on Halloween.
And, consequently, showing up just in time for the events that followed. The shattered remnants of people that the war left behind.
Maybe Regulus will be able to show James that it’s okay to extinguish the first love flame, whilst simultaneously giving him the parenting help he is too ashamed to ask for. And, in return, maybe James will manage to convince Regulus that love isn’t something you earn, something that always has a catch.
Maybe they just needed one another all along, to take that step into the daylight.

Summary
When Regulus took James Potter’s cock into his mouth, he didn’t expect it to have been a one-time thing.
At the very least he’d expected it to be a two-time thing, a sneaky back-of-the-Mercedes, bathroom-stall-in-the-Parliament type of thing.Perhaps he would’ve gotten his ass eaten if he hadn’t collapsed in the Foreign Office—on the staircase, like he was Lana Turner in Ziegfeld Girl.
x x x
Regulus is the unwilling son of the foreign secretary. James is his six-foot, sex-on-legs, Krav-Maga-wielding, Margaritaville-loving "Specialist Protection Officer".
Regulus has no choice but to fuck him. Again.

Summary
James slid to the floor across from him. It came with the easiness of familiarity that rooted itself deep into the body. Memories locked in muscle. They’d sat like this countless of times; a stance reserved for drunken nonsense after a long night out, for confessions, for musings and fears, for pockets of comfortable silence, for nothing but the radio.
This was the James from back then—perpetually sun-soaked, worry-less James—who handed out his little mercies and bathed you in light.
x x x
Regulus leaves his parents at 17, finding shelter with Sirius at the Potters' home somewhere along the rocky shores of Devon. What follows are the good years, then the unspeakable ones, and then, inexplicably—like a roach, a true Black—Regulus comes out the other end alive.
He just doesn't expect to stumble into the easy solace of James Potter and his five-year-old son.

Summary
The automated voice calls out a semi-cheerful “Thank you! Please hold,” and the line begins to ring.
Once, twice and then;
“Well, howdy there.”
His voice feels like a sip of scotch, low and rumbling warmly through Izzy’s chest.
1996. Izzy follows Ed (because he always follows Ed) to sunny Los Angeles when he decides he wants to be a movie star. Lonelier than he's ever been, he calls a 900 number and meets Jack Rackham, who makes things interesting.

Summary
“Damn, Rackham, it’s - it’s alright.” The words are spoken through gritted teeth, and Jack quickly gets that the man would rather keelhaul himself than have to be even mildly comforting.
“Look, my TA’s also a tutor. You could try him - he’s a senior, so he knows his shit.” He’s turning back to his computer screen before Jack’s even finished wiping his tears away, and Jack bites back a smirk.
“That’s... Izzy Hands, right?”

When Sirius returns six years later, it's to find that nothing is quite as he expected.
Sometimes you break the cycle, and sometimes, it breaks you.

Summary
James met Regulus on the coast.
December of 1978. Standing at the edge of the world, seconds away from the step that will send him over the precipice.
Regulus is running from a war James has never heard of. James is no one, living out lonely, meaningless days in the small town where he grew up.
They both come to the cliffs to die. Walking away sends the pieces tumbling. A war, a prophecy, and a deal to spend the last two weeks of their lives together.
The first day of death or the first day of life—it's hard to tell the difference.

Summary
Regulus knows James Potter. The kind of music he likes, what he does in his free time, every single detail he can absorb.
James does not know him.
Sirius has made sure of that, keeping his mentally unwell brother far away from the object of his obsession. Funnily enough, it's James who comes to Regulus. Well-meaning, curious with no idea what he's getting into.
The lines between love and obsession are blurry and hard to read.
“No, we’re friends now, remember? I know it hasn’t been long, but I think I’m learning you, aren’t I?”
Are you?
James had Regulus, but he didn’t know him. Regulus knew James but didn’t have him.
“Maybe you could,” was all Regulus could say in response. That was a truth. James could probably learn Regulus inside and out. Regulus would offer that if it didn’t mean breaking down the fixation—the rotting truth behind their growing relationship.
