    Summary

    “So,” Robby says, dropping his work bag onto the bar chair, his long hands gripping the back of it as he looks at Jack.

    The elation is still there, but dulled at the reality seeping in between them.

    “So,” he says, putting his bag down as well.

    “How does this work?” Robby asks and Jack can’t help but twist his lips a little in amusement.

    “I don’t know. How do you want this to work?”

     

    Or: how two people finally find their way to one another after so long, only to work through the growing pains of meshing their lives together

    Summary

    “Don’t start with me,” Frank says, “it’s fine, I know my limits.” Yolanda is about to start with him because that’s a fucking joke, but it’s 7:31 and Robby is calling for him – the nursing home patients are right on time.

    He sits up, swings his legs off the side of the bed, and cracks his neck. She cringes.

    “Could you at least try to avoid breaking any more vertebrae?” He actually laughs at that, so it can’t be that bad yet.

    Summary

    Regulus Black is young, ambitious, and absolutely on track to become Prime Minister – until his ex-boyfriend James Potter is unexpectedly handed the keys to Number 10. Suddenly, Regulus's smooth rise to power is sabotaged by chaotic press conferences, suspiciously photogenic opponents, and the world’s most annoying man grinning at him across the debate stage.

    James, for his part, is doing his best to juggle a collapsing party, a scandal-hungry press, and the fact that he may or may not still be in love with the sharpest man in Parliament. Who also may or may not be actively trying to ruin his life. Again.

    Cue slightly unhinged political tactics, emotional blackmail via War and Peace, and a secret affair so poorly timed it could potentially tank the British economy.
