    Summary

    All James wants is to get back at Lily, his on-again-off-again girlfriend. Maybe his best friend’s brother and his sworn enemy isn’t the right choice for that.

    All Regulus wants is to win his family home from Narcissa in a battle of inheritance. James Potter is the key to doing that. So what if he uses James? Regulus is being used as well.

    A dare, a debt, a family feud, and a few fistfights later, someone falls in love. Everything falls apart.

    Still, it turns out the love they seek can be found in the strangest of places.

    “You're doing what wrong?”

    “…Life. Is this how it should be, blacking out every weekend, sleeping around recklessly? Coasting by from one numbing minute to the next?”

    Smoke spilled from Barty’s mouth, and he looked over at Regulus, his eyes unreadable. “People like us don’t have the privilege of doing it another way, do we?”

    Regulus paused at that. “Who are people like us?” he asked, his voice faint.

    “Damaged, fucked up people. We didn’t grow up normal. We don’t get to be normal now.”

    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

    Summary

    Ilya being Shane’s new roommate is just a coincidence. Falling in love with him, though, is not.

    Summary

    Regulus bursts into laughter. The sound is lovely. So, so lovely. It sends a pang through James’s chest, and it takes him a few moments to recognize it.

    I’m jealous, James realizes, I’m fucking jealous.

    This is no longer simple attraction. It’s not about how mesmerizing Regulus is on stage or how objectively stunning he looks in tight clothes. That can be chalked up to neglected physical needs, but this… James wants to be the one to make Regulus laugh like that. He wants to share those intimate, conspiratory glances with him.

    James Potter has a crush on Regulus Black.

    A crush like he’s a bloody teenager.

    Or

    James Potter has never seen Regulus Black as anything other than his best friend’s little brother. When Regulus returns to England after five years abroad, that changes.
