Summary
Taking Bilbo Baggins, a successful movie actor who is only just getting used to the perks and intricacies of becoming A Face People Want To See, and putting him together with Thorin Oakenshield, with his very traditional (read: slightly backwards) ideas about what constitutes Real Art and Real Talent, might very well be viewed as just some clothead’s idea of a joke. But there are jokes, and then there are carefully calculated risks the size of controversial reproductions of classic Shakespearean plays - for Bilbo, it is the chance of a lifetime to prove himself to all those who have ever deemed him too one-dimensional to even attempt stage, while Thorin has the opportunity to get out of the rut that’s been hindering his career for so long now, and shine in a role worthy of his talent once again. That is if the two learn how to share the same space for more than ten minutes without wanting to tear each other’s hair out. The course of true love never did run smooth, after all…

Summary
No one, it turns out, really knows one another.
(OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)

Summary
“Everything will be different now.” She continues. “Starting today...more will be expected of you than ever before. And you can not fail me–fail your family. Do you understand?”
“Yes, mother.” Because of course he does. Regulus understands what today means. He knows that he will never get a moment to be truly and completely alone again. That is why he had slipped away to the music room instead of attending breakfast. It was his last moment of peace. His goodbye to his old life in which he could enjoy his solitude. Because after today, all eyes would be on him and his family. After today, he would never be allowed to wander anywhere without supervision. Not even in his own home. Because today is the day he becomes a prince.
~~~
King Riddle has declared the Noble House of Black as his heirs to the Pureblood Throne among a viper pit of power hungry, envious nobles. Regulus and Sirius struggle to navigate life as royals where everyone they meet could want them dead, even those closest to them.
