    Summary

    “I’m a sadist,” Regulus said, cutting him off completely.

    James stared at him, confused at the collection of words Regulus had just said. He was cowering in on himself, like he was ashamed, his hand holding James’s like it was a lifeline.

    ***

    James Potter is a thirty-year-old photographer hired to photograph Lawyer Sirius Black and clothing designer Remus Lupin's wedding weekend, where he meets Sirius's beautiful brother Regulus Black. After a weekend of flirting and dancing around with one another, they learn that Regulus has a penchant for sadism, and James is well...he's a virgin. They dive head first into a dom-sub relationship to tend to their own individual wounds, but find that they love one another's company more and more with each scene.

    OR

    James is a 30-year-old virgin and Regulus is a sadistic dom without a play partner.

    Summary

    James flops onto the bed, sated and content. His bones all feel like jelly, and his chest is warm. He tilts his head to the side, beaming, and watches as Regulus stares dumbstruck at the ceiling.

    “Yeah. Amazing, right?” James says.

    Regulus blinks a few times before he finally looks over at him.

    “That…. was fucking awful.”

    When James Potter learns that his bedroom skills are... lacking, he turns to long-term rival, Regulus Black, for help. The price? A fake relationship to get Regulus’s parents off his back. What could possibly go wrong?

    Or: Bad Sex, Stupid Rules and a Ridiculously Large Inheritance.

    Summary

    “Who’s he looking for?” Marlene asked, not even bothering to whisper which James thought was actually very rude.

    Remus smirked from behind Sirius. “Dunno.” He propped his chin on Sirius’ shoulder, “But his neck always gets a bit red when he’s pretending he’s not thinking about Regulus.”

    “I am not-”

    “Did you invite him?” Lily said, arching a brow.

    James harrumphed stroppily. “Didn’t have to. Pandora did.”

    “Ah.” Lily reached over Remus to pat his shoulder. “Well, you’re doing a really good job of pretending not to care, lovely.”

    James didn’t answer. Because he was suddenly distracted and also choking on a mouthful of beer. Beside him Evan snorted which James ignored, because maturity.

    Regulus Black had just walked into the pub.

    Summary

    Being a late bloomer sucks. Being an Alpha sucks. Finding another Alpha willing to marry him and go along his perfect plan without trying to kill him su… maybe doesn’t suck as bad as it should.

    Regulus Black has everything under control. His parents can set him to fail, they won’t get in his way this time. A deal is a deal, and six months is all he needs.

    Summary

    Regulus Black has two obsessions.

    1) Hating his older brother’s best friend, James Potter. Has Regulus met the man before now? No. But he has deemed James Potter his mortal enemy since he was ten years old.

    2) A certain voice actor by the pseudonym Jay, who makes “spicy” audios.

    Regulus has always known the universe to have a sick sense of humour but he didn’t know it was this cruel. He’d recognize that voice anywhere. To Regulus’s shock and abject horror, James Potter is Jay, there’s no doubt about it.

    Summary

    Regulus told himself it was disgust. Hatred. Of course it was. But hatred doesn’t feel like this. Hatred doesn’t sit in your throat and make you imagine what his fingers would feel like pressed into the small of your back.

    Summary

    James’s cursor hovered over the unopened email in his inbox, “Blind Compatibility Quiz: Meet Your Perfect Mate!” It wasn't that James wasn’t curious about who the algorithm had matched him with, because he definitely was. The real source of his nerves came from realizing that his perfect match just received the same email.

    James knew what his preference was. But it wasn’t as simple as that. As soon as he’d presented, he knew bone-deep, intrinsically what he desired in a mate, what he was attracted to. It was as plain, as part of him, as true to him as the fact that he was now an alpha.

    James wanted an omega.

    And he hated himself for it.

    Summary

    Regulus has it all under control. Really, he does. And anyone that says otherwise is just plain wrong.

    He knows what he and James are doing. It's fun and easy and, most importantly, casual. He can put an end to it whenever he wishes to, because the power is all his. The ball is in his court, and all that bullshit.

    So what if the longer he spends with James the more of his rules that end up broken?

    There's nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.

    There are many ways to fight a war.

    James may not be on the front lines, but what he does behind bars is enough to turn the tides.

    Regulus has secrets - information that will change the course of the war for the better. James is more than willing to pay the cost, but the puzzle of why exactly it is his body that is the price is what really has him hooked. Or, so he tells himself.

    Summary

    “What?” He asks, alarmed.

    “As Sirius said, the curse has been modified to a shorter timeline.” Effie says, looking at him wearily ... "If Regulus is not married to a Pureblood within the next hour, he will die.”

    Oh.

    James stares at the clock. He can feel the tension in the room pressing in on him. No one looks at him then. They turn back to staring at Regulus quietly, watching him slowly die.

    The thought occurs to him, but he brushes it off. He’s had some stupid ideas, but this is completely ridiculous. It’s in no way an option.

    He stares at Sirius then, eyes red rimmed and face resigned with the kind of grief James knows would follow him every single day. He looks at the boy he would sell his soul in a second to protect. Then he does.

    “I’ll do it.” James says firmly.

    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,

    [9:11 pm] Regulus
    everyone smells like beer
    and they were obsessed with this one Potter guy

    [9:12 pm] Jay

    Summary

    As James spoke he curled his fingers into Regulus’ hair, knocking his head around, as if to drive the point home that Regulus was a toy to be played with. Regulus didn’t miss the way Remus tracked the motion; he flushed further under the scrutiny, blinking up at Remus from under his lashes.

    or,

    Remus is a virgin, so James lends him his boyfriend.
