    Summary

    Regulus Black is a world-famous model, drowning under perfection, while James Potter is a champion surfer who never cared for fashion. When James visits Paris for Sirius’s big show, he expects chaos but not Regulus, sharp-edged and hiding something beneath the spotlight.

    With their usual photographer out sick, Remus Lupin steps in, capturing moments no one else sees. But James sees them too the exhaustion, the untouched meals, the way Regulus is fading in plain sight.

    James has always been good at spotting danger, but saving someone from drowning on land? That’s a whole different mess.

    And falling for him? That was never supposed to happen.

    Summary

    Before he can stop himself, he picks up the phone. Every ring seems to last for eternity. Please, he thinks, be there, pick up, don’t be dead, don’t be gone…

    “Viktor?”

    His heart jumps. Silco’s voice is muffled, sleep-thick, but oh so achingly familiar. He had not realised until now just how much he missed it.

    “You do realise it is 2 o’clock in the morning?”

    He tries to speak but no words come out. The guilt, perhaps, has stolen them.

    “Has something happened?”

    “Papa,” he finally whispers. “Papa. Papa.” And then all of a sudden he is bawling his eyes out, horrible, heaving gasps and sobs torn from his throat, wracking his thin frame, and distantly he is embarrassed, but he cannot seem to make himself stop.

    Worn down by the crushing weight of (not actually) unrequited love, workplace disputes, past trauma, and the existential dread that comes with being an overachiever in your twenties, Viktor finally breaks. Papa Silco comes to pick up the pieces.

    Returning to his childhood home in Zaun for a long-overdue rest, Viktor must reckon with his past, his future, and the terrifying prospect of allowing himself to be loved and cared for.

    Summary

    When a detention spell goes wrong, eleven Gryffindors accidentally trap themselves inside the mind of Regulus Black—Slytherin’s coldest, quietest, and most unreadable boy. What begins as a petty attempt to “figure him out” spirals into a surreal descent through his subconscious: a shifting dreamscape ruled by wonderland logic, haunted classrooms, and the ghosts of everything Regulus refuses to say aloud.

    Each level of the labyrinth reveals another version of him—curious, feral, innocent, shattered—forcing his enemies to confront the truth about the boy they’ve spent years hating. From an impossible maze of riddles to a bloodstained forest that remembers every scream, the Gryffindors are dragged through the story of a life quietly collapsing under the weight of family, silence, and survival.

    But when they finally reach the real Regulus, the one buried beneath all the masks, they’re too late to stop what he’s already done.

    The question is no longer who Regulus Black is—
    It’s whether anyone can still save him.

    Summary

    A few weeks ago, Regulus Black jumped off a bridge. It's not that he really wanted to die, but he didn't really want to live either. He didn't think anyone would care one way or another, if he's honest. Now he's stuck learning how to live.

    James Potter was used to seeing Reg every day at the cafe he worked in, until one day he stopped coming in. When he finally sees the guy he's been crushing on come back into the cafe, he knew he had to take his chance at asking him out on a date.

    ***This fic deals with heavy themes of depression, lack of a will to live, and suicide, but will have a happy ending***

    Summary

    James Potter wakes up with an engagement ring and a plan to propose to his girlfriend Catherine. By evening, his father drops a bombshell: their family company is bankrupt, and the only way to save it is through a merger with Black Corporation—sealed by James marrying Regulus Black.
    James has one week to choose between the woman he loves and saving thousands of jobs. What he doesn't know is that Regulus has been hopelessly in love with him for years, and this arranged marriage is both his greatest wish and cruelest fate.
