    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    Complete <3

    The Black Apothecary lies just on the border of Hogsmeade. Wizards and witches near and far come to stock their potions from Regulus’ shop. And business is good.

    At the start of a new term, professors stop in for their needs, his brother and Remus included. But it’s an almost forgotten familiar face made new that makes today special, when a grown James Potter comes into the shop requesting something rather unusual. A potion to calm his heart and head. A request James would very much like to keep between the two of them. A business proposal. A secret.

    As Regulus tries different iterations of the potion James requested, the two start to grow close through session after session of failed potions with strange effects. Regulus starts to fear the potion James needs is an impossible task, and that he will fail his new friend in his promise to help him.

    Or, Regulus and James try a bunch of weird potions and fall in love in the process.

    Summary

    James Potter was pretty sure he had it all figured out. His face was on billboards, shampoo and razor ads, and life was basically golden. Romance? Well, that part was a little slower, at least until a random text from an unknown number landed in his inbox. Regulus, definitely hadn’t meant to text him, he wasn’t exactly looking for anything except his class assigned work partner...
    But one message turned into two, then ten, then late-night conversations and inside jokes. James wasn’t planning to fall for a stranger behind a screen... but then again, nothing about Regulus felt like a mistake.

    or,

    [9:12 pm] Jay

    Summary

    “Excuse me, you what?”

    “I want you to take Regulus out on a date,” Sirius repeats casually as if he hasn’t just said the most absurd thing ever, watching the Snitch that had escaped James’ hand the second Sirius had made the ridiculous request the first time.

    James stares at his best friend in disbelief, because what?

    “Look, if you go on a date with Regulus, I can go out on my Moony date. My parents will realise that their stupid idea of cursing me with only getting to date once Regulus does didn’t work out because look at that, Regulus also dates! They reverse the magic, Regulus can happily go back to refusing to date anyone, I can go back happily dating Remus, and you can happily go back doing whatever you had planned to do this summer. Quidditch, I assume.”

    Summary

    During which James and Regulus, on rounds, discover some Amortentia. Too bad James doesn't realize it's Amortentia.
    --
    “I vote we just vanish it and leave it at that. It’s not like it’s dangerous.”
    Shocked, Regulus stared. “Not–Potter, it’s absolutely dangerous!” he argued, voice raising in volume and pitch.
    The bemused expression on the Gryffindor’s face would have been cute in any other scenario. “Reg…Reg, I get trying to be safe with open flames and ingredients or whatever…but isn’t that a little dramatic?” James asked in a wheedling voice, eyebrows raised.
    “Dramatic? Potter, this potion can be terrifying in the wrong hands!” he insisted, feeling truly angry, now.
    “Reg, it’s just cologne."
