Summary
James Potter has spent the past two years as the token straight friend in his circle: until he meets Evan Rosier. A story about a kebab shop after 1:00 AM, a football match, a river Evan didn’t mean to fall into, and a love James didn’t mean to find.
What follows is entirely self-indulgent and totally not serious: it's about music, finding where you fit, and my personal vendetta against British gay clubs.
CW: Recreational drug use.

Summary
Football has always been ruthless. The players, even worse.
Regulus Black knows this better than anyone. One of the youngest stars of British footie, the first openly trans player in the league, and the biggest scandal the sport has ever seen. He didn’t ask to be a trailblazer — he just wants to play. But between bloodthirsty reporters, a fractured relationship with his brother, and the weight of a team that wasn’t built to protect him, Regulus is barely keeping his head above water.
James Potter has always been the golden boy, but even golden boys crack under pressure. Evan Rosier plays with fire and can’t decide if he wants to burn or be burned. Marlene McKinnon loves too much, drinks too hard, and fights like hell. And Sirius Black? He’s always been a storm waiting to break.
This isn’t just a game — it’s survival. And on the pitch, love and war are the same thing.
⚽ A gritty, high-stakes AU where football is everything and nothing is fair.

Summary
So when teens find themselves grieving and struggling they do stupid things. So what? Thats what teenagers do. But when you pin someone as a 'troubled teen' things only seem to get worse.
James, Marlene and Peter don't do well at home, they don't do well at school, they make mistakes, get into fights and are labeled 'troubled'. So for everyone around them it only gets worse. Thats when they get sent to Highland school for troubled teenagers.
Regulus Black is a runner, he always wants to get away, but suddenly someone makes him want to stay.
James Potter is a 'bad kid' his parents passed away, and he has issues he refuses to see because for so long he was perfect, someone makes him see its ok to be complex.
So how do you escape labels? How do you run one last time?
