  1. Summary

    Regulus already knew that this is a game. It’s been one since the beginning, whether James wants to admit it or not. It’s a game, because neither of them can afford it to be anything else, to grow into something real. James seems to like acting dumb about it, but Regulus knows better. Knows to keep his distance and establish some boundaries.

    Or at least he does in theory.

  2. Summary

    James and Regulus meet when they're kids, and it doesn't take them long to become friends. Best friends, even. And it's fine, because they're young, and love is easy and simple, and it can't be mistaken for anything else.

    Then they grow. And their friendship turns into something else entirely. But it should still be fine if nothing changes, right?

    If nothing happens.

    Summary

    Jax didn't mean to be cruel.
    He swears he's good, and kind. Somewhere. In some place so far away that perhaps there's actually no point in trying to reach it when his fingertips can't even brush against the idea of it without him getting stabbed by the own twist of his hand.

    Summary

    Shizuo can’t help but laugh. It’s a self-conscious sound masked under a deep layer of sarcasm. “You’re saying you’re lonely, Orihara? What, got no one else to annoy so you’re coming here to me?” He narrows his eyes, heady with a sudden surge of power he never seems to feel in Izaya’s presence. “That’s pathetic.”

    “Careful,” Izaya warns, holding Shizuo’s suit jacket and ironing out invisible creases with the pads of his thumbs. “I’m not as fun when I’m irritated.”

    (or: Shizuo got out of the Dollars years ago. That's until Izaya shows up on his doorstep, looking to strike up a deal.)

    Summary

    It starts as a joke.

    Regulus tells himself it’s nothing. James tells himself it’s harmless.

    They’re both wrong.

    (or Regulus Black wanted James Potter, the golden boy, happily taken, and entirely off-limits. It was supposed to be funny. It stopped being funny the moment James wanted him back.)
