    Summary

    Regulus Arcturus Black, the most aspiring chess player of his generation and descendent of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, finds himself up against James Potter, notoriously brilliant, unnervingly smug, and unfortunately, extremely attractive. What starts out as a rivalry soon turns into more as the line between friendship and love starts to blur, and soon, Regulus risks more than losing just the game. With his abusive family breathing down his neck, his brother Sirius gone, and only chess to escape into, Regulus is haunted by his ambition, loneliness, and addiction, and James Potter might just be the only one who can stop his downfall.

    Summary

    “Why did you run off like that?” Regulus demanded, forest eyes boring into James’.

    “Why does it matter? Go back to Rabastan, you seemed pretty happy underneath him just a minute ago.” More jealousy spit like venom from James’ lips.

    “I sent him off to get lunch. Why did you run off?”

    or

    The story of a bunch of teenage idiots who become adult idiots and somewhere along the way they figure out how to fall in love and keep it.

    James and Regulus keep missing each other.
    Barty and Evan keep running away.
    And Sirius and Remus don’t even know where to start.

    Summary

    James’s fingers suddenly brush against his skin, touching the very top of Regulus’s spine.
    “This,” James says, his touch featherlight as it ghosts over Regulus’s skin, making it tingle in the most peculiar way. “It’s a lovely tattoo. Almost like antlers. When did you get it?”
    Regulus can’t speak.
    This can’t be possible.
    Of all people—why James Potter?
    Still, his mother’s words echo in his head. Every member of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black has a soul mark. A tattoo that appears at birth and can only be seen by their soulmate.

    Summary

    Black scowled. “My body is dead. Or it probably is. My soul must have split into the ring before.”

    “You think your soul is in this ring?” It made his finger itch.

    “Yes. I don’t know how I have this physical, well, less physical and more visual form, but I know my soul is alive.”

    “You can’t possibly know that! And what am I supposed to do with the ring then?” Draco flashed the ring in front of Black. ”I don’t fancy being haunted the rest of my life.”

    -

    Summer before fifth year, Kreacher gives Draco a ring containing Regulus Black’s soul. Draco learns a lot because of it, namely how to befriend a Potter.

    Summary

    In 2004, a grieving Draco Malfoy finds solace in an unexpected place.

    In 1976, Regulus Black’s life changes forever after a Quidditch game.

    In 1981, James Potter lives.

    The question left is if history will always repeat itself — and more importantly, if some endings can be rewritten.

    Summary

    James Potter wasn't surprised to get the owl he was needed in the Headmistress' office after his son was caught in the middle of yet another prank. What he wasn't expecting was to be so caught off guard by the Professor who had caught Harry this time around. The last time he had seen Regulus Black was years ago, and now here he was immaculately dressed, scowl on his face and James couldn't stop staring.

    Why hadn't he seen Regulus in years? Regulus has spent the last five years avoiding James Potter because he couldn't take suffering through his childhood crush a second later. Now all of that was for nothing, because James Potter was standing across from him, smirking at him from behind those glasses of his, calling Regulus 'Professor Black' and setting Regulus' skin on fire.

    Summary

    Regulus bursts into laughter. The sound is lovely. So, so lovely. It sends a pang through James’s chest, and it takes him a few moments to recognize it.

    I’m jealous, James realizes, I’m fucking jealous.

    This is no longer simple attraction. It’s not about how mesmerizing Regulus is on stage or how objectively stunning he looks in tight clothes. That can be chalked up to neglected physical needs, but this… James wants to be the one to make Regulus laugh like that. He wants to share those intimate, conspiratory glances with him.

    James Potter has a crush on Regulus Black.

    A crush like he’s a bloody teenager.

    Or

    James Potter has never seen Regulus Black as anything other than his best friend’s little brother. When Regulus returns to England after five years abroad, that changes.

    Summary

    “You write like a drunk pigeon,” James says, turning the paper to the side and squinting. “Seriously, aren’t noble people supposed to know how to write?”

    Regulus steals the scroll back, rolls it, and wacks him on the head with it. “Shut it,” he says, so James drops the subject and eyes the scroll instead.

    “What’s this, then? Are we conjuring the devil?”

    Regulus kisses his teeth. “I have… rules.”

    “No kidding,” he deadpans.

    --

    Prompt 63: When James won’t shut up about how he could get with anyone he wants, Sirius challenges him to a bet: if James can persuade Sirius’ ice cold younger brother Regulus to go out with James on three dates, Sirius will do all of James’ homework for a full term.

    It had never occurred to Regulus, until today, that perhaps the Gods weren’t simply looking for a planet.

    That, perhaps, they were looking for theirs.

    Summary

    Sirius’s last word to James were, “I will bury your heart.”

    He thinks—perhaps he lied, because there are shards of James’s heart embedded everywhere in Sirius. He’s been pulling pieces out for years. They appear in mysterious places, at mysterious times.

    It’s harder than people think, to let go.

    -OR-

    Regulus might have been born to defy the Gods, but James was born to spite them.

    Summary

    to get one's just deserts: to receive the appropriate reward or (more usually) punishment for one's actions.

    The door to the car opened with a whine, followed by the coughing of a pathetic old man.

    Barty walked to him, the pavement as light beneath his trainers as a cloud. He was skipping. He was laughing. He was crying. He was God and the Devil and Man. He was cutting the umbilical cord as he was born.

    Abraxas Malfoy was crawling, and that was so fitting. On the side of his face where the airbag had impacted, there were small cuts like a dusting of weeping freckles. The skin looked raw and burned. The eye socket was swelling and the whites of the eye were spiderwebbed red.

    Barty had never seen anything so beautiful.

    Malfoy didn’t cry or beg for his life. He was spitting profanities, assuring Barty of his power and how Barty would suffer for this. He didn’t apologise. He didn’t repent. He didn’t revert to a quivering mass of tears and call out for his own mother.

    He didn’t believe.

    So, Barty stood above him, and he aimed the gun.

    The Order is dead. The rich must pay. The city will burn. Evan and Barty fall in love.

    Summary

    “This is a really bad idea, Barty.”

    Barty hums, nose brushing against Evan’s. Despite his words, his hand found its way to the back of Barty’s neck, keeping him close.

    “Then tell me to stop.”

    “You know I won’t."

    Evan moves back from France to England after over a decade with very little expectations. He’s never really had any friends and he’s used to people stepping out of his life—why would this time be any different? He’s ready to spend his remaining years at high school alone. Luckily for Evan, a few people don’t seem to let him.

    Summary

    James isn't technically supposed to make any elaborate plans all by himself, but Sirius is sad, and James has to do something about that. Surely, befriending Regulus to help the two brothers reconcile is a good idea, right?

    Regulus is the smartest person in Hogwarts, and all he wants is to make his brother pay for leaving him, so coming up with a plan is surprisingly easy. It seems that the best way to exact revenge is to steal James Potter from Sirius and make him his best friend.

    or: Two stupid plans with opposing end goals, queer book clubs, and falling in love.
