Summary
“Because I don’t get to want you,” James said, stepping closer. “Because you’re Sirius’ little brother. Because you’re fucking perfect. Because I’d rather tear myself apart than hurt you. But God Regulus, its taking everything in my soul to stay away from you.”
OR
Regulus' summers between college years usually consist of walking around Montreal, finding new places to hide from the world and trying his very best to ignore his family. However, this summer is different. His parents are spending it in France and therefore offer him an ultimatum: France with them, or Ontario with Sirius. France is out of the question. Which leaves a glass front lake house in Ontario. A house owned by James Potter's family, Sirius' college best friend, and as far as Regulus is concerned, a total prick.
Drawn magnetically together, James and Regulus embark on a three year long secret situationship. Its casual. Its nothing. Well.... until it isn't, and secrets have a way of worming their way to the surface... eventually.

Summary
James Potter is quarterback for the Toronto Blues and they have made it to the playoffs for the Canadian college league. When James is sacked badly and knocked unconscious, his delirious train of thought can only comprehend one thing: Regulus. The man he has been secretly seeing each summer at his parents’ lake house. Secretly being the key word… and now, here James was, mumbling Regulus' name as he lies concussed on a football field. Because at the end of the day, he could lose every single one of his limbs and his first and only priority would always be, how Regulus would react.
This takes heavy inspiration from the HR injury scene... you know the one.
Yes, this can be read as a standalone, but why just read 3K when you can read 298K....? Anyway, go read 'the language of the lake' first, this contains spoilers for that story.
