Summary
“Well, I’m not going to lie. I truly hope that none of you can relate to this,” James chuckled sadly. As the lights dimmed down, he finally announced, “This is Vampire for you, London.”
A sad, slow piano melody began, and then James sang.
And Regulus shattered, not for the first time, at the words of his now ex-lover.

Or:
A very, VERY messy Fame AU jegulus fic with some wolfstar, in which James and Reg go from one sided beef (from Reg's part obvs), to friends, to lovers, to exes, to FAKE DATING, to lovers, to ENEMIES, to lovers again.
Lots of song references, Regulus is messy and hot, James is both whipped and Not Okay, and overall they just need to sit down and chat but they dont do that - bc otherwise there's no fic :p
On a break bc uni is beating me up. we're going back on schedule by June 14th or sooner!!

Summary
James doesn't remember much more than his first name when he wakes up in the maze. In fact, it's the only thing he remembers—and meeting Regulus for the first time almost makes him forget it again, but that's neither here nor there.
Regulus has been in the maze for much longer than James, knows its dangers and enigmas well enough by now—but when he stares down at their most recent newcomer, he can't possibly predict that everything is about to change.
Neither of them knows yet why they are trapped in this deadly puzzle, or what lies beyond it; and neither can fathom how far they will have to go to get out of it alive, nor how it will cost them so much more than what they are willing to pay.
Pawns trapped in a deadly game of riddles whose only solution seems to be death, love so brutally challenged it can only turn into grief, and a world falling apart in tune with its people, who can only watch as the fresh blood on their hands dries into sorrow.
Welcome to the Maze.

Summary
Regulus is in search of change, for something to fill the ever growing void in his chest that has been inside him for as long as he can remember. He leaves Paris and his ballet company behind to move back to London, where his friends, his old company and his brother are waiting for him. He tries to fill the void with all sorts of unhealthy things, but something—rather someone keeps trying to get in the way.
James is happy with his life, he’s good at his job, he loves his friends, he has a nice flat, so why isn’t that enough? Why is the smile that he’s had plastered across his face all his life starting to feel forced? He’s met head on by a force of nature, a storm in the form of a mean, stubborn and ridiculously pretty ballet dancer and he starts to realise what he’s been missing all this time.
OR
Regulus is a ballet dancer & James is a simp!
