Summary
James Potter learned to cope by running, by losing himself in football, and pretending the adrenaline could replace the way Barty used to set him on fire with a single glance. Barty Crouch Jr. coped through parties, bottles, and smoke-filled nights that never really burned away the memory of James.
Two summers after their "breakup", fate, otherwise known as Effie, drags them back to the same town they once called theirs. Old habits resurface, stolen glances, secret outings, and late-night drives laced with that sweet caramel taste memories that feel too much like the past they swore they’d buried. Back to where friendship blurred into something more, something they were never brave enough to name.
