    Summary

    Regulus leans carefully into the boards between them, his own dark curls brushing James’ forehead briefly. “Not interested in hockey.”

    “Maybe not,” James muses. He slides both hands up Regulus’ forearms to his elbows then down again, settling over the back of his cold hands and warming them. “You are interested in me, though.”

    And, well. Regulus doesn’t have a solid enough denial for that. Not anymore. No matter how much he may like one.

    ( or: olympic favored figure skater Regulus Black gets his whole world rocked by James Potter, who’s finally shooting his most important winning shot yet )

    Summary

    “Can you stop talking for one fucking minute Sirius?” Remus was no longer focused on the mess that he created. Instead he was focused on Sirius’s desperation. So he turned back to Sirius, the shattered mug still waiting to be repaired. His wand arm was still out though, and that was when Sirius moved.

    In one swift movement Sirius grabbed Remus's right arm as he lowered himself down onto his knees. His right knee slamming down onto a shard of the mug. He pointed Remus's wand right at his head and grasped his lover’s wrists with both hands, steadying it. He looks Remus in his eyes, begging.

    “Do it, Remus. Fucking do it.”

    -

    Sirius and Remus find themselves alone in the dorm after The Prank. Sirius just wants to make things right, in his own self-destructive way.

    Summary

    In the cave, Regulus doesn’t beg for it to stop. He begs not be left behind, alone.

    Perhaps this is why, when Kreacher gives one last look over his shoulder and sees terrible, pale hands reaching for his master, he appears in a flash at Regulus’ side, clutches him by the elbow, and Apparates them both out of the cave, directly disobeying his master’s last order.

    Summary

    Regulus Arcturus Black, the most aspiring chess player of his generation and descendent of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, finds himself up against James Potter, notoriously brilliant, unnervingly smug, and unfortunately, extremely attractive. What starts out as a rivalry soon turns into more as the line between friendship and love starts to blur, and soon, Regulus risks more than losing just the game. With his abusive family breathing down his neck, his brother Sirius gone, and only chess to escape into, Regulus is haunted by his ambition, loneliness, and addiction, and James Potter might just be the only one who can stop his downfall.
