Summary
Ignorance is bliss.
Unfortunately for James, his ignorance gets shattered on one fateful morning when he suffers the horrible realization that he’s in love with his best friend.
Afraid of ruining their friendship, he decides to conduct a series of experiments to determine whether there’s a chance Sirius might reciprocate the pesky feelings multiplying in James’ chest.
As one might expect, nothing goes according to plan, but somehow, James ends up finding exactly what he needs.
Task failed-successfully?---
Unaware of his suffering, Sirius leaps to his feet in a liquid motion, offering James a hand. “You coming?”
James lets out a whimper. An honest-to-Godric whimper. Of all the words in the English language, why did Sirius have to choose these ones?
“Not yet,” he mumbles, then clears his throat. “Sorry. Leg’s asleep.”
“Seriously, Prongs, are you okay? You’re all sweaty.”
“Don’t worry. Probably a cramp or something." -

Summary
Regulus has owed his life to James Potter ever since he carried him out of the cave.
Seven years later, James comes back to collect on his debt, disrupting the quiet existence Regulus has carved out for himself.
All of a sudden, he’s hounding his every step, determined to become Regulus’ friend even as he coughs up petals tinged with blood.
And Regulus might just let him. Because this time, it’s his turn to save James.***
“Your concern is touching.”
“Yes. It’s what I’m known for. Serving Dark Lords and being concerned about my fellow Wizards,” Regulus snorts.
“And for being a mean Potions teacher,” James replies blandly, not rising to the bait.
“I can be quite mean, yes.” -

Summary
As an Auror, James Potter is no stranger to split-second decisions.
Five years ago, he made the wrong one and hurt the person who mattered more to him than he realized.
Now, the consequences come to haunt him in the form of Regulus Black, an international Quidditch superstar returning home after his successful stint in the US.
When Regulus receives several death threats, James gets assigned as his protective detail, stuck guarding the life of a man who hates his guts. Because one thing is clear: Regulus hasn’t forgiven him. Not one bit. And he’ll go to incredible lengths to make his job as difficult as possible, including but not limited to slipping out without alerting James, strutting around half-naked, and parading a string of hook-ups under his nose.
As a consummate professional, James is determined to leave their past behind and focus on the task. He’ll keep Regulus alive, no matter how hard he’s trying to push his buttons. No matter how much James wants to push Regulus against the wall and kiss the brattiness right out of him.
When the Supernova collides with the Sun, it triggers an explosion.
And in the aftermath, nobody is safe. -

Summary
Once upon a time, Remus Lupin was in love.
An unassuming thing. Unspoken. Trapped in longing glances and pages of poems traded like secrets.
When cold waters buried the future that could’ve been, Remus withdrew from the world. He grieved in silence, resigning himself to a life of solitude.
Until one day, someone knocks on his door, and Remus finds himself staring at the one man he’s never expected to meet again.
The one man who has the potential to be his ruination.
Or his salvation.
Regulus Arcturus Black.***
“Remus.” Regulus’ voice trembles with barely suppressed emotion.
“Why did you come here?”
“I—I was hoping I could talk to you.”
Remus laughs, sharp and without any warmth. “The dead don’t talk.” -

Summary
“Sure. Lay it on me. All the hard proof you’ve got,” James scoffs, injecting his voice with as much bravado as he can muster. Regulus is bluffing. He has to be. There’s no way he’s going to follow through on his words.
To his absolute shock, Regulus steps closer, his fingers tangling in the material of James’ robes. “With pleasure,” he purrs.***
The broom closet James chose as his hiding spot on his run from Filch was supposed to be unoccupied.
Instead, he finds his nemesis inside the crowded space, pressing too close for comfort and whispering dangerous things in his ear.
Suddenly, he faces much greater danger than detention.
Because Regulus Black challenges him like nobody else.
And James Potter has never been one to back down from a challenge.Series

Summary
If there had once been a flicker of hope in Sirius, it died the moment James fell in love with Lily. He didn't even try to do anything about it. Years ago, he had promised himself that this secret would die with him.
But feelings aren't a mouth—you can't just shut them up. They begin to sprout and twine around the heart like vines.
Perhaps this spring would be his last, but as they say, flowers bloom brightest just before they die.

Summary
“Why have you been ignoring me?” Harry asks suddenly, making Sirius almost choke on his food
He barely manages to swallow it all down, and when he's done clearing his throat, he's ready to give him a non-answer, like he has done the last few months, but instead of that, what ends up coming out of his mouth is an unwavering:
“Because I don't trust myself not to fuck you if given the chance.”

Summary
Sirius was trying very hard to be a good godfather despite having no experience and no examples of how to be a decent parental figure. And Harry appreciated that, really. There was just one problem.
He didn’t want Sirius to be a parental figure. He didn’t want a godfather. He wanted…something else.
___________________________________
Or: Harry blows up his life and Sirius tries to dispense parental advice. It's not what Harry wants from him, though.

Summary
James giggled and nipped his jaw. “You’re really sexy when you’re about to commit murder.”
“I’m really sexy all the time,” Sirius muttered, “but I appreciate the support.”

Summary
James’ grin didn’t falter. “Oh, wow! That’s… amazing. You must be, like… super coordinated. And fast. And… uh… good at throwing things. Things like… baseballs, maybe lightsabers? No… not literally…”
Sirius tilted his head, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Lightsabers, huh?”
James’ face lit up like the sun. “Sí! Star Wars! I’ve got all the movies memorized—episodes, characters, battles… And comics. Marvel. DC. You name it. Plus, science stuff, history stuff… war games. I even have a Risk strategy guide.” He gestured wildly at the boxes around him. “I mean… I might have… too much stuff.”
OR
James likes star wars, marvel and war games. Sirius is here on a Baseball Scholarship. Will they survive?
