Summary
“Wh– well– why–” James stammered, attempting to get his bearings, because if he didn’t, and he let Regulus tell him ‘kiss me’ one more time, his heart would probably give out. “Why don’t you get Sirius to help?”
Regulus narrowed his eyes. “Because Sirius would just knock his teeth out,” he said as though it were obvious.
“Yes,” James hissed, “and he’ll knock my teeth out if I kiss his little brother.”
“You can take a hit, Potter, I’ve seen you on the quidditch pitch,” Regulus waved him off, and James groaned, leaning away from him.
“Oh, yeah, great, so I’m the sacrifice,” he sighed.
“Precisely,” Regulus stepped right into his space, and James felt his chest go a little hot.

Or, Regulus asks James for a favor to get his ex off of his back, and James makes bad choices.

Summary
“Sirius,” Remus said.
That was the only warning.
He said it softly, like a statement, almost casually– so casually that Sirius turned expecting him to ask something about what they were having for dinner, or telling him he wanted honey in his tea, or complain about how off brand sports-drink didn’t taste as good as Gatorade.
Instead, Remus’ knees were already buckling. His arm was sliding off of the granite corner of the countertop, and his shoulder was colliding with the barstool to his right, and his body was thudding against the hardwood, and the only warning Sirius got was his name. That was it.
He was moving before he even realized what was happening.

Summary
"That's why I was here. I was going to stand right here, and I was going to try to convince myself to do it, or not to do it, and– and that night, the whole walk up those stairs, I couldn't– I couldn’t think of a single thing. I couldn’t find a reason not to. It was like my mind was empty, and I was thinking that– that if I got up here and my head was still empty, then I'd do it. That's why I came up here. And then you–” James took a long, shuddering breath. “You were in my spot.” He couldn’t help but laugh. It was a terrible sound.
“That’s why you said that,” Regulus breathed, and it was like it was punched out of him. “You… you were… I thought that was a joke.” His voice was thready. James still didn’t have the heart to look up at him. He felt like he wasn’t really there.
“Everyone did,” he shook his head. “It was always a joke.”

Summary
“Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.
“Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.
“The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.
“S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.
“Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.

Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

Summary
“Look, Tommy, I know this is a lot–”
“I don’t need the pity party,” Tommy interrupted. “Aw, it must be so hard, aw, how sad, it’s… fuckin’… it’s fine. Yeah? So just– how long do I have to stay here?” Phil took a breath, straightening his back.
“At least until we can contact your mom,” he said. “That’s step one.”
“There’s more steps?” Tommy asked incredulously.
“Well, it’s a complicated situation. The fact that they’re already struggling to make contact is… well, it’s a red flag. You lived with your brother, but your mother never transferred sole custody, and considering the situation that left you in, there's some question as to whether or not she may be involved in your brother’s… business.”
“Drugs,” Tommy said.
“Yes. Drugs.”

Or, Phil is a foster parent who takes in emergency cases, and Tommy… well, Tommy sure is an emergency.

Summary
“It’s just a boy,” Phil said quietly. Techno looked the child over again. Now that it was quiet, it seemed so gentle. Peaceful. “The storm is coming in fast. He’ll die out here if we leave him.”
“It’s a risk,” Techno muttered, fixing his grip on the axe.
“I thought the same about you,” Phil said, looking back at Techno. They locked eyes. Techno looked away first.
——
Or, piglin-hybrid Techno and phantom-hybrid Phil find a kid lost in the woods (who may or may not be hearing voices) and take him home for safe keeping.

“You good now?” Techno asked, rubbing circles into Ranboo’s back.
“Wednesday,” Ranboo said with confidence. He held back another gag, closing his eyes as his stomach clenched again. When it passed, he blinked dazedly and seemed to process what had happened. “That’s not good, right? Throwing up?” Ranboo looked up at Techno, his eyes tired.
“It’s… not ideal,” Techno said.
_____
Ranboo gets a concussion in the nether; now Techno just needs to get him home without giving him a second one.

“There have been great kings younger than me, Wilbur!” Tommy insisted.
“Yes, and there have been dead kings younger than you as well!” Wilbur shot back, his voice suddenly far more frustrated than Tommy had heard it in a while. “You’ll stay here because Phil needs his son,” Wilbur said. Tommy closed his mouth. “And I need my brother. Here. Safe.”

Summary
In the dim lantern light, Phil could see the contents of the bucket now. It was purple and nearly iridescent. Phil’s stomach dropped. “Ranboo?” He said, ducking his head down to get a look at the kid’s face. The same purple liquid dripped from his mouth. Tears burned streaks down his cheeks. “Ranboo, is this blood?”
He almost didn’t want to know the answer. He knew Ranboo was half enderman, and that his blood wasn’t red like human’s blood. After doomsday when he’d found Ranboo in the rubble, the kid had a few cuts and scrapes, nothing major, but he had noted that his blood was a dark purple color. He hadn’t dwelled on it much. Now, it mattered.
“Ranboo,” Phil said, more firmly now. “Is this blood? Are you throwing up blood?”
