Summary
“We are never doing this again.”
James glances up at Regulus. He’s standing by James’ bedroom door with his keys and phone dangling from his grip. His cheeks are brushed pink, his curls amiss and the jut of his lip has been ruthlessly bruised. He looks perfectly wrecked by the hands of James Potter.
“Never,” James says back, biting down a smile.
Regulus stares at him, eyes narrowed and gleaming, before he turns and leaves through James’ bedroom door.
Not even a day later, James has Regulus cornered against his kitchen counter.
or — james and regulus are fuck buddies, regulus tells him about greek mythology, james writes a letter to regulus, and through it all they try their very hardest to pretend they’re not completely in love with each other.

Summary
There's a click.
“Reggie?” James’ voice sounds over the phone, and it’s tinny and sort of staticky but Regulus could cry from relief. Only now does he realize how unsafe he’s been feeling. He pulls his knees up to his chest, which is really not a very comfortable or stable position when sitting on the lid of a toilet but it makes him feel more whole.
“James,” he says, and the relief just pours out. It’s embarrassing, but Regulus doesn’t even give a fuck. “Can you come get me?”
-----
Regulus goes on a first date and it goes horribly wrong. Only James Potter, his long-time crush, is available to come help (ahem, rescue) him.

Summary
Neil gets drugged at Eden's. Again. They get him back quickly, but the parallels fuck with everyone and reveal what happened with Nicky the first time around.
But Andrew remains flawed, so doesn’t know anything is happening until he hears Nicky gasp. Nicky makes a lot of unnecessary noises, so this one isn’t especially concerning—not until Nicky’s hand flashes out to grip Andrew’s arm and he says, “Andrew,” with such strained urgency that Andrew’s head erupts into a riot of alarms.
He follows Nicky’s pointed finger and sees, through the thick forest of bodies, Neil. With some guy. Kissing. He’s out of his stool almost before he can consciously register the scene, leaving the scarred black metal toppling to the ground behind him and shoving into the crowd. Something is very wrong. Neil had been too still. Too loose. An unstringed puppet. Andrew knows what Neil looks like when he wants to kiss someone, and that—that isn’t it.

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
It is relief that washes off of Bruce in great waves of uncertainty. Talia relishes in it all, dipping her feet into this new sea of understanding he's letting her in on. She wonders if he even realises that she knows, that deep down;
Batman is glad the Joker is dead. Batman is even more pleased that it was not him who killed the Joker.
The air between them smells like vindication.
Talia smiles to herself, "I didn't do it for you."
(Talia al Ghul kills the Joker. This manages to solve a lot of problems.)

“Right, then. I’m about to flirt my way straight into the sun, so I need to know if you’re married. Or dating. Or literally anything that will keep me from taking you on a date tonight.”

Summary
“Yeah, sure, steal my bird and then insult my clothing. Why not?” He waves a hand flippantly but Sirius stands up shocked.
“Wait, what?”
“Which part are you confused by?” the man seethes, eyes narrowed dangerously. “The part where I know you’re sleeping with my girl, or the part where you insulted my clothes two seconds ago.”
“The first - I’m very aware about the cardigan joke.”
“There’s no point in playing dumb, I fucking know.” The other sighs, all of the wind gone from his sails, shoulders slumping as he rakes a hand through disheveled curls, damp from the spitting mist outside. “Reversed the number on her phone found the billing address.”
“I didn’t steal your girl, mate. I mean, I’m fucking sorry because that’s horrible, but it wasn’t me.” A snarl pulls up the others lip, he glares with disdain, but Sirius holds his hands up before he can continue. “I’m gay, for fucks sake. Like, really, really, gay. You’ve got the wrong bloke.”

Summary
Rounding the corner between the bookshelves Remus saw a young, bespectacled boy with the wildest hair Remus thought he’d ever seen on a child, with what, objectively, might’ve been the most handsome man Remus had ever set eyes on crouched beside him. Remus was only stunned by an elegant sweep of black hair for a moment before he noticed the man was signing to the boy. He was a little slow and stuttered in his movements, lacking the kind of fluidity that appeared when one signed as their first language.
Remus' otherwise quiet trip to the bookstore takes an unexpected turn.

“As I was saying,” he continued. “James couldn’t pull me-“
“Says who?” James snorts. “I could totally pull you, mate. You’re just stubborn. I don’t know how you’ve lived with me so long and you haven’t tried to shag me yet.”
Everybody in the room lets out a groan in unison, all muttering variations of I hate you and you’re so bloody full of yourself, and Regulus just muttered “get your head out of your arse, Potter,” and snorted, sitting up to take James’ face in his hands, squeezing his cheeks together. “You can’t. I’m too smart.”
James hums, then he giggles and leans in, rubbing his nose against Regulus’. Regulus grins, cheeks flushing. “I totally could,” he says quietly, voice thick and scratchy.

Summary
“All I know is I want—” Remus shuts his mouth in a panic. Gulps. Dry mouth. Palpitations. Sweaty palms.
Sirius tilts his head. “What? What do you want?” Gray eyes. Collarbones. Body heat.
“Nothing,” Remus' eyes shift to Sirius’ lips and then quickly back to smoky eyes, “it doesn’t matter.”
“Remus,” Sirius drawls, exasperated. He steps forward and Remus steps back colliding into the wall behind him. Sirius is smirking up at him. And fuck Remus is staring at his lips again.

Summary
“Wh– well– why–” James stammered, attempting to get his bearings, because if he didn’t, and he let Regulus tell him ‘kiss me’ one more time, his heart would probably give out. “Why don’t you get Sirius to help?”
Regulus narrowed his eyes. “Because Sirius would just knock his teeth out,” he said as though it were obvious.
“Yes,” James hissed, “and he’ll knock my teeth out if I kiss his little brother.”
“You can take a hit, Potter, I’ve seen you on the quidditch pitch,” Regulus waved him off, and James groaned, leaning away from him.
“Oh, yeah, great, so I’m the sacrifice,” he sighed.
“Precisely,” Regulus stepped right into his space, and James felt his chest go a little hot.

Or, Regulus asks James for a favor to get his ex off of his back, and James makes bad choices.

Summary
His finger hesitated over a picture of someone who absolutely couldn’t be real. He had long, dark hair that fell well past his shoulders and grey eyes that Remus thought must have been either contact lenses or photoshopped. High cheekbones and sinful lips the man looked like a model. Remus was not about to get catfished by a picture that was probably of someone famous that he just didn’t recognize. Besides, what kind of a name was Sirius anyway? It was obviously fake.
He swiped left. Not today, Satan.
“Hard pass on that guy, huh?” Someone said from above Remus. “Ouch.”

Summary
“You called her babe,” he muttered. James made a sort of confused noise against his neck.
“I did,” he murmured. He was quiet for a moment, like he was waiting for Regulus to say more, but he didn’t. He pulled back slightly. “Is… is that it?”
“I didn’t like it,” Regulus said like it was a warning.
“Oh?”
Regulus narrowed his eyes. “You did it on purpose,” he said, and it came out far more as an accusation than he intended, that same hot feeling from earlier surfacing again in his chest.
James didn’t answer, just breathed a laugh and sucked at the skin under Regulus’ ear. Regulus tensed his jaw a little, and with his free hand, he snaked his fingers up into James’ hair and pulled his head back a bit so they were looking at each other in the eyes. James’ ears were red and his eyes were half-lidded, almost dazed. He blinked at Regulus slowly.

Summary
“Sirius,” Remus said.
That was the only warning.
He said it softly, like a statement, almost casually– so casually that Sirius turned expecting him to ask something about what they were having for dinner, or telling him he wanted honey in his tea, or complain about how off brand sports-drink didn’t taste as good as Gatorade.
Instead, Remus’ knees were already buckling. His arm was sliding off of the granite corner of the countertop, and his shoulder was colliding with the barstool to his right, and his body was thudding against the hardwood, and the only warning Sirius got was his name. That was it.
He was moving before he even realized what was happening.

Summary
“Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.
“Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.
“The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.
“S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.
“Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.
---
Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?
