    Summary

    “So you essentially want me to bring him back down to earth, by breaking his heart?”

    “Can’t break what doesn’t exist.” Sirius spits out bitterly.

    “Sirius--”

    “Please James,” he says earnestly, “you’d win the bet and everything. I just want my brother back.”

    “I-I get that, but I’m just not sure how I would be able to help.”

    “He looks up to you.” Sirius replies, “you’re the only one who can.”
    James Potter finds out his days on earth are numbered, so, in light of being (painfully) single, his friends hatch a bet to find out if he can win somebody's heart by the end of the school year. On a whim, Sirius suggests he try it with his hated and untrusting little brother, Regulus. There's just one problem. Sirius believes the budding romance between them is all for show. James does not.

    Summary

    “Because I don’t get to want you,” James said, stepping closer. “Because you’re Sirius’ little brother. Because you’re fucking perfect. Because I’d rather tear myself apart than hurt you. But God Regulus, its taking everything in my soul to stay away from you.”

    OR

    Regulus' summers between college years usually consist of walking around Montreal, finding new places to hide from the world and trying his very best to ignore his family. However, this summer is different. His parents are spending it in France and therefore offer him an ultimatum: France with them, or Ontario with Sirius. France is out of the question. Which leaves a glass front lake house in Ontario. A house owned by James Potter's family, Sirius' college best friend, and as far as Regulus is concerned, a total prick.

    Drawn magnetically together, James and Regulus embark on a three year long secret situationship. Its casual. Its nothing. Well.... until it isn't, and secrets have a way of worming their way to the surface... eventually.

    Summary

    You run, Reggie.
    You run, and you keep on running.

     

    It's the last thing Sirius said to him, before he disappeared. And Regulus is trying—he's trying so, so hard. But he can only run for so long before he collapses, half-dead and delirious with exhaustion, in the middle of god-knows-where.
    He wakes up in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar house, staring at an unfamiliar man—a man who, inexplicably, and for the first time in years, makes Regulus feel as though he might finally be safe.

    Summary

    ritardando (rit.) • /ri.tarˈdan.do/
    becoming gradually slower → used as a direction in music

    James Potter never anticipated getting panic attacks. Or finding himself relying on Regulus Black for comfort. Or for all of that to somehow lead to a pretend relationship.
