   Summary

   Trapped at the Potters' for a festive sentence, Regulus plans to execute his duties with glacial precision: despise his disowned brother, his shitty tattoos, his scarred-up pervert boyfriend. But James Potter, the golden git, sun in the centre of it all, captain of the bloody universe, keeps poking at the dark, cold thing in the corner.

   OR

   A story about bad blood, worse decisions, and the crack that spreads when a boy made of ice starts to believe, just for a moment, in the sun.
