Summary
At the beginning of the Hogwarts 1977-1978 school year, James Potter finds a cat and Regulus Black finds a Horcrux.
These events are not unrelated.
What follows is a deal to their mutual benefit: James helps Regulus hone the finer details of advanced transfiguration, and in return, Regulus teaches James what he knows of occlumency and legilimency. James is pleasantly surprised by how much he enjoys their lessons, certainly more than he thought he would considering what (admittedly little) he knows of Sirius’s younger brother. Regulus, for his part, thought he was smart enough to know that anyone with as many secrets as him has no business teaching fucking mind reading to another person. Especially when that person is James Potter.
There is affection—the kind that only comes from meeting someone you never expected to understand you. And there is war—a looming thunderhead that neither of them wants to see consume the other.
The rest is a matter of secrets, family, and letting go.

Summary
Will thinks this was what he’d been anticipating all night. Sure, he doesn’t feel an actual need to scent-mark, or to experience it… but he thinks he’d like to with Mike. And if Lucas’ smell was bothering Mike that much…
“Okay, fine. Let’s do it.” Will flicks up the sleeve of his shirt on his wrist and holds it up.
Mike’s expression wavers.
“Or, if you want to back out…” Will asks worriedly, letting his hand fall.
“No, I—I guess I just assumed. The neck’s the best place to do it, right?”
On the cusp of presentation, is Will really ready for the changes heading his way? Especially the uncertainty regarding his... friendship with Mike. Or was friendship even the right way to categorise them, anymore?

Summary
Regulus Black agrees to attend the Potter’s weeklong Christmas gathering with one caveat: Sirius Black must attend five Christmas Party’s with his brother—which, unfortunately means reuniting with his parents on more than one occasion.
To help Regulus avoid the wretched question that arises from any social gathering where singles are present, Barty agrees to fake date his best friend and longtime crush—if only to make the parties a little more bearable for him—and maybe Regulus will turn his eyes away from the sun long enough to see what’s been right in front of him for years.
Or perhaps…Barty will stop throwing shade at James Potter long enough to see why Regulus is so dazzled by him…
Take a walk through a pine forest this Holiday season as Sirius reunites with his family, Regulus learns that he’s loved more than he knows, & James and Barty learn to reconcile their differences.
